The Good:
The recent relaunch of the Green Hornet comics has started getting me excited over the character once again. I read some of the comics in the 80s when the defunk NOW Comics was publishing them. With Kevin Smith's scripts, Phil Hester's breakdowns and Jonathan Lau's pencils, you get quite the package with this comic.While I knew who would be dying, the build up and suspense in the first few issues still deliver. When the final "act" was done, I still let out a "damn!" to myself. What's nice about this is when we see Britt Reid Jr (before he eventually becomes the second Green Hornet), he's not a natural born fighter. We see his caution despite his temper. The action/fight scenes here are well drawn and choreographed. Even if you've never followed the Green Hornet before, this series allows you to discover all there is to know. You get to learn the history as the characters themselves do.
