The emotional angle? Hulk has been betrayed by some of his best superhero buddies, sent to another planet because he’s deemed too dangerous. Hulk, meanwhile, rises to rule on the planet, even taking a queen. But something happens, and the ship that brought him there explodes, killing everyone he’s learned to care about.

But the action is the heart of the new tale. It’s about revenge, it’s about betrayal, and most of all, it’s about a giant green superhero causing as much mayhem and destruction as is super-humanly possible.

Battlestar Galactica

Pak also has been writing the comic adaptation of the Sci-Fi Channel series “Battlestar Galactica” for Dynamite.

And while the show is superb, the comic may be even better. The stories work so well in the medium. Pak keeps things action-packed and moving along.

The best part? Dynamite got a fan to write the series.

“I absolutely love the television series,” Pak said. “It’s the first show in decades that I’ve actually changed my daily schedule to watch. I’d been talking to the folks at Dynamite about the possibility of writing something for them. When I found out they had the rights to do a ‘Battlestar Galactica’ comic book, I dug in my little claws and wouldn’t let go.”

The first trade paperback of the series is now available, and Pak continues work on one of the best of the new crop of television series cross-overs and adaptations.

“The show hooked me with its combination of total emotional honesty, big sci-fi ideas and high stakes, life-or-death scenarios. But what made me really excited about working on the comic was the less-is-more vibe of the show’s writing and performances. Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell say as much with their silence as they do with their words. I couldn’t wait to explore that kind of interaction in comic book form.”

But Pak keeps his trademark action flowing in the book. Something, sometimes, the series could use a little more of.

“I love the television series exactly the way it is,” Pak said. “They hook me with every new episode and I follow willingly.”

Robot Stories

If you haven’t seen Pak’s 2003 independent film “Robot Stories,” you’re certainly missing something. The film is four separate tales of humans trying to figure their own lives out while living in a futuristic world where androids are a part of life.
