The Green Hornet #12

The Green Hornet surges forward on this cover by Paolo Rivera, his fist thrust straight at the reader against a dramatic backdrop of torn Daily Sentinel headlines screaming "MURDER" and "SLAIN" — a vivid reminder that the masked crimefighter and the newspaper world are inextricably linked. Mark Waid and Ronilson Freire bring their run to this twelfth chapter with a cover that perfectly captures the Hornet's menacing green-clad silhouette, broad-brimmed hat pulled low and the hornet emblem mask concealing his identity. It's a striking image that makes clear this vigilante operates in a world where the press both hunts him and unwittingly depends on him.
