Marvel.com has a video interview with Greg Pak. I'm excited about this series, which is unusual. I really prefer the classic Marvel characters, but this one could work out well. There was a lot of rich material in the world that Pak created for Planet Hulk, really cool alien races and cultures. Plus, I think Marvel has been long overdue in bringing back some of the Conan the Barbarian fun back into their universe. I've got a lot of faith in Pak, who did very well with World War Hulk, and Ron Garney (the penciller), who is coming off a great Wolverine run.
There's another Pak interview from April 2008 over at Wizard TV. In this one, the subject of a certain Cimmerian comes up. Ever since I saw the promo image for Skaar #1...
...I've always thought that Skaar looks like a green gamma-infused Conan to me.
Fingers crossed for the June 2008 launch! To keep up with Greg Pak, you can visit his PakBuzz website. Nuff said.
