Green Hornet #31

The Green Hornet and a dark-clad partner leap through a cascade of oversized, skull-faced dice on this kinetic Dynamite cover — cover pencils by Phil Hester and inks by Bruce McCorkindale give the duo a propulsive, danger-charged energy that practically tumbles off the page. The skull markings on the dice hint at high-stakes odds stacked against our heroes, making issue #31 feel like a genuinely tense turning point in the series. With writing by Jai Nitz and interior art by Jethro Morales, this 2012 entry in Dynamite's run keeps the Green Hornet's world feeling both pulpy and fresh.
