IGN Comics: Any amusing stories you can relate to the fans about the development of this story? Pak: I was totally fixated on Morbius the Living Vampire for a while, and really, really, really wanted to work him into the story. It's been an insane amount of fun to work on such a long-term project, to have the chance to seed elements over a year ago that are paying off now in such a critical way for our hero. This is an epic tale that began with page one of "Planet Hulk" over a year ago. First off, how did these two projects get started? Were Planet Hulk and World War Hulk pitched as one unit? Greg Pak: What goes up must come down, so from the first day that Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada told me about "Planet Hulk," we knew it would lead to the smashfest that became "World War Hulk." IGN Comics: As you wrote Planet Hulk, and as the Marvel Universe changed during his exile, were there any elements of World War Hulk that changed significantly? Pak: Certain details changed during the course of story development, but the great thing was that we always remained true to the emotional and thematic core of the storyline. IGN Comics: Jumping from a year-long epic Hulk story to something like World War Hulk must be quite the experience.
