The Green Hornet #8
In "On The Pad," the new Green Hornet and Kato hit the streets of 1990’s city, spreading word of the Hornet’s return while a deadly police raid goes catastrophically wrong. With three officers dead and one critically injured, Diana Reid—back on the job after the attack on her family—believes the operation was compromised, and she’s not alone in suspecting a leak. As the Hornet and Kato close in on two possible traitors, a sudden ambush on the road leaves them facing a violent confrontation with armed motorcycle thugs. Written by Ron Fortier and illustrated by Jeff Butler, with inks by David Mowry and colors by Holly Sanfelippo and Suzanne Dechnik, this issue’s cover by Lenin Delsol captures the tension before the storm.

The new Hornet and Kato roust a dockside bar to put word out on the street that the Green Hornet is back. Meanwhile, a police raid/bust of a narcotics operation goes bad, as the "suspects" are actually lying in wait to shoot the cops, killing three and leaving the other in critical condition. Diana Reid, on her first day back at work after the attack on the Reids' mansion, is certain they were tipped off, and calls in the Hornet. Aside from the victims, only two people knew about the plan, a division captain and a DEA agent on loan from Washington. As the Hornet and Kato prepare to move in and shake up the captain to see how he reacts, three motorcycle-riding thugs force his car off the road and level heavy weapons at him.
