Green Hornet / Miss Fury #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis five-issue miniseries opener marks the first time Britt Reid's Green Hornet and Marla Drake's Miss Fury share a dedicated co-headlining title, uniting two pillars of the American pulp-hero tradition who each originated outside comics — the Green Hornet on radio in 1936 and Miss Fury in newspaper syndication in 1941 — and had only previously crossed paths in ensemble team-up stories such as Dynamite's 2012 Masks event. By framing the pairing as a noir murder mystery set against the heroes' contrasting crimefighting philosophies, the series invites a modern readership to engage with the tonal and ethical tensions inherent in pulp-era masked vigilantism — the Hornet's criminal façade versus Fury's ferocious directness — in a way no prior crossover had given adequate space to explore. The inclusion of a shared mentor figure (the Silver Shrike) retroactively deepens both characters' origin mythology, giving their fictional histories a connective tissue that neither possessed in their original source material. For readers of Dynamite's broader pulp universe, the issue also signals a willingness to build lasting intra-publisher continuity around characters who have historically been published in isolated runs.

Writer Alex Segura — whose prose novel Secret Identity brought him wider genre recognition — co-wrote the series with Henry Barajas, with interior art by Federico Sorressa; the book shipped January 8, 2025, having been solicited in September 2024. Dynamite Entertainment has held the Green Hornet comic license since 2009 and has published Miss Fury material in various forms since 2012, making this crossover a logical editorial convergence of two long-running licensed properties already sharing the same publisher's stable. The issue launched with an extensive variant-cover program featuring Francesco Francavilla, Jae Lee and June Chung, Jonathan Case, and Jacob Edgar, consistent with Dynamite's standard multi-variant strategy for marquee launches.
