  Greg Pak had some big shoes to fill (his own) when tackling Red Skull after Magneto: Testament. When I heard he was writing another origin of a famous Marvel supervillain, I balked. I just couldn't fathom him catching lightning in a bottle twice.

He's ice-cold, power-driven, and he's not afraid to spill blood to get there. Red Skull: Incarnate isn't a loud book, but it is a scary one. Perhaps that's even more telling: you'll never see it coming. Read Full Review
