The Green Hornet #10

Paolo Rivera's cover for this 2014 Dynamite issue pulls no punches: the Green Hornet's cracked mask and battered fedora lie on a hexagonal-tiled floor beside a dropped submachine gun and spatters of blood — a gloved hand visible at the edge, suggesting the hero himself has fallen. It's a strikingly still, ominous image that lets your imagination do the heavy lifting, raising urgent questions about what's brought the Hornet so low. Writer Mark Waid and artist Ronilson Freire are at the helm for the story inside, promising the sharp storytelling this series has delivered throughout its run.
