    Not A Hero, A Stinger!

    Mark Waid has a habit of making everything awesome , and while personally i admit that i have never really liked green hornet that much, i had to pick this up just because i saw the name MARK WAID in the right corner of the cover, and it wasn't a mistake, in fact i might keep picking this up!

    First of , the art is amazing, the details are amazingly cool and it has a cool interesting feel when you go from page to page. The Character design is amazing, especially for green hornet and Kato, not to mention the fact that the actions scenes are simply baffling when mixed with the story !

    As for The Plot, Waid brings new elements into the book, and it is extremely well executed. Green hornet is playing on both sides of the chess board, he tries to learn more and do more work while pretending to be a villain, which leads to many interesting things, and personally, i see a lot of potential in this, one that could be developed As time passes and the future arcs come flowing in.

    The Self narrative was one thing that really stood out in this issue, it feels really amazing when you hear Green hornet talk, makes it feel like an old detective movie in some ways, not to mention the fact that it mixes well with the plot.

    In short, this was an awesome issue, and though i might not be a green hornet fan , this first issue has convinced me that reading this will be a blast, which is what waid always does well !

    Recombination: STING! ( thats means yes in hornet language)

      The Real Green Hornet 0

      I've been a Green Hornet fan for quite a while now, ever since I saw him, and Kato appear in the re-runs of the 60's Green Hornet TV series, staring Van Williams as the Green Hornet, and Bruce Lee as Kato, but more so after their appearance in the re-runs of the 60's Batman TV series staring Adam West. I was however only a small fan then, and it wasn't until Kevin Smith's Green Hornet came out that I started to like the character more, as I loved that run, but dropped it after he left. I have ho...

      The Return of Britt Reid to Dynamite 0

      After the end of Green Hornet Year One, we've been left with the Green Hornet legacy title, with Britt Reid's son taking the mantle. A whole new group of fresh characters in a modern setting. This new title brings us back to the original essence of the Green Hornet - a hero disguised as a villain. What's great about this book so far is the focus on Britt himself, not the Hornet persona. We see his world and his plans, as well as his allies and employees, something that was always a major focus ...
