The Green Hornet Strikes! #1

Dynamite's The Green Hornet Strikes! launches with a striking cover by John Cassaday that immediately signals this is a different kind of vigilante story — a red-haired figure clad in the Green Hornet's dark costume and hat crouches with their back to us, the iconic hornet emblem visible on the suit, a gas gun in hand, while a glittering nighttime cityscape sprawls far below. The composition is quietly arresting: seen from above, with a billowing green cape framing the figure against the city lights, it feels less like a boast and more like a promise. Writer Brett Matthews and artist Ariel Padilla bring fresh energy to this pulp hero in 2010, and that cover alone makes you want to know exactly who is wearing that mask.
