The Green Hornet #5

Mark Waid brings his sharp storytelling to this 2013 Dynamite series, with a cover by Paolo Rivera that sets a mood of tense, noir-tinged atmosphere. The Green Hornet stands poised on a darkened dockside, gripping both a rope line and his signature gas gun, his green mask and hat cutting a striking silhouette against a large cargo vessel looming behind him. It's a confident, street-level image that captures the pulp-hero spirit of the character at his most watchful and ready.
