Looking forward to this....can someone enlighten me re the original Kato and this new female sidekick, this will breakdown how exactly? Are we seeing a new Hornet in a current setting with a female sidekick.

I don't know. However it sounds like there will be 3 GH series. Year One set in the 30's by Matt Wagner. Another series set in the "near future" by Brett Mathews. And the Kevin Smith one announced last year set in the present.

Great news!


Wagner also explained then that, "If you think about it: they both wear masks. They both operate outside the law. They both have an ethnic sidekick. They both have a special means of transportation that's named after a color. It's pretty much the same character in different time zones, which is damn cool."

I think it's fairly well known that the Green Hornet was created at G. W. Trendles request as a modern equivilant of the Lone Ranger. But it's nice to see a reminder for the folks that aren't that familiar with the characters. If DE only gets to mention the Lone Ranger by name in the Green Hornet series it would be a nice change.
