The Green Hornet: Solitary Sentinel #2
In "Black Marauders Solitary Sentinel Part 2," Paul Reid, now branded a fugitive by Mayor Leon Marshall’s corrupt regime, dons his Uncle Britt’s old Green Hornet gear and takes to the streets with a new mission. As police and Marshall’s special forces clash over a small-time crook, the Hornet steps in—only to find himself drawn into a larger game when he brokers a deal with the elusive Boss Snark. With the city’s honest citizens under siege and a mysterious masked group emerging to save them, the identity of their savior—known only as the Black Hornet—begins to unravel. Written by James Van Hise and illustrated by Terry Tidwell, with inks by David Mowry and Dave Simons, and colors by Joseph Allen, Holly Sanfelippo, and Suzanne Dechnik, the issue’s cover by Dell Barras captures the tension of a city on the edge.

As Paul Reid has been declared a wanted man by the corrupt city government of Mayor Leon Marshall, he hits the streets as the Green Hornet, albeit using his Uncle Britt's old garb and gear. He soon finds regular police arresting small-time hood Blinky McQuade and the mayor's newly-created special police trying to take him from them, at gunpoint. The Sting eliminates that threat to the men in blue, and the Hornet's charge for his life-saving services is possession of McQuade. The little thug agrees to take a request for a meet to his employer, Boss Snark. Marshall holds a press conference designed to look good to outside authorities. Hayashi is thrown into the same cell as Diana, and they compare notes. The meeting between the Hornet and Snark results in an agreement to bring other racketeers together to fight Marshall. Another meeting, this one of honest citizens against Marshall, is raided by the special police, but as the attendees are being loaded into paddy wagons, they are rescued by a group of armed and masked men, whose leader identifies himself as...the Black Hornet!?!
