The Green Hornet #11

Paolo Rivera's cover for this Dynamite issue captures the Green Hornet mid-stride across a rooftop, his dark suit and flowing green coat cutting a sharp silhouette against a vivid pink-and-purple city skyline — gas gun in hand, hat tilted rakishly, shamrock emblem unmistakable on his mask. A crowd of armed thugs fans out behind him, trench-coated and menacing, with water towers and urban rooftops stretching into the dusk. Mark Waid and Ronilson Freire bring their talents to this 2014 chapter of the classic pulp hero's adventures, and Rivera's cover sets a mood that's equal parts noir cool and genuine danger.
