Pak got the Warlockassignment six months ago, after some Marvel editors saw his recently released sci-fi anthology film Robot Stories, in which, he says, "I explored themes of artificial intelligences acquiring emotion." How long he keeps the job depends on how well the title sells; Jeremy Shorr, owner of Titan Comics near Bachman Lake, says he moved 25 issues the first week, which is about average for the first issue of a new Marvel title.

"These Marvel Comics characters are bigger than all of us who work on them," Pak says. "They've been reinvented countless times in the past and will continue to be reimagined as long as the medium survives. It's a thrill to be part of that process and history." --Robert Wilonsky
