ComicBloc runs an apparently old (The end of the interview advertises books that came out three months ago) interview with Greg Pak that is still pretty good reading:

Few writers have had such a massive impact upon the genre and are as beloved by their fans as Gaiman and Morrison. So taking on a project in their wake is a pretty insane undertaking. At the same time, every single project I’ve done for Marvel has been following on the heels of giants—how dare any of us follow up on the classic stories of folks like Stan Lee and Jack Kirby? The answer is that of course we dare—that’s our calling and our job.

We may fall on our faces. But with every project we undertake, we’re striving to do our very best, to get to the essence of the characters, to build on the past while striking out new ground in telling the greatest stories we can.
