    Way of the Ninja, Part One last edited by bloodstream on 12/02/22 04:26AM View full history

    Dynamite debuts an all-new Kato series, set during the earliest adventures of the Green Hornet and his faithful sidekick!

    Early 1942, just months after Pearl Harbor, a police detective knocks on Britt Reid's door. He's looking for Kato. There's been a murder in the small Korean section of town. They want Kato's help with the locals. They find a murder crime scene and their detective instincts kick in. They piece together the crime until they find a single Japanese character written in blood. It reads "coward".

As much as I like a different perspective, I also like a story to have more than a moral, and this comic delivers. It also has good detective work, character development and friendships. Not to mention some typical Kato ass kicking.  As m...

    I'm going to be really honest hear, mainly because i feel that i myself as an individual felt that i could really connect with Kato's character in this issue. When it usually came to comics such as the Green hornet and other stories set in the time of WWII, I always made the conscious choice to avoid them, on the basis for the anti Japanese sentiment within the stories.
