FIGHT CRIME WITH GREEN HORNET COMICS IN OCTOBER!
With only three months until Seth Rogen's Green Hornet film, catch "Green Hornet Fever" early at Dynamite!
August 4, 2010, Runnemede, NJ - In October the adventures of the Green Hornet and Kato continues with not one, but eight new exciting issues!
In Kevin Smith's Green Hornet #8, the new Green Hornet faces his greatest challenge, as the deadly Black Hornet engages him in a high-octane duel to the death on the streets of Century City. As The Black Hornet strikes at the very heart of the Hornet's Nest, even the aid of the Kato family may not be enough to keep the legacy of The Green Hornet intact or Britt Reid alive. Only on the verge of their own destruction do Green Hornet and Kato realize that Century City itself faces an equally disastrous fate. Kevin Smith's Green Hornet #8 is written by the man himself, Mr. Kevin Smith. Teamed up on art duties is his faithful sidekick and partner Jonathan Lau, with covers by Alex Ross, Greg Horn, and Joe Benitez.
Green Hornet: Blood Ties #1 (of 4) is written by Ande Parks and has art and cover by Johnny Desjardins! The first issue of Green Hornet: Blood Ties features the last remains of the Italian Crime Family and the Japanese Yakuza. How did the two man team of Green Hornet and Kato bring about the fall of all Crime in the city of Century City? This tale is the precursor to Kevin Smith's Green Hornet, and is a must read for Green Hornet fans! Featuring the break-out art of Johnny Desjardins, who began his career as David Finch's protégé and is now one of Dynamite's up-and-coming artists!
