Any word if there will be a Green Hornet (Kevin Smith series) annual this year? I was just re-reading through last year's and was wowed by how sharp it was.
Green Hornet Annual??

The annual is written by one Mark Rahner. Anyone familiar with his work?

Out this week, if we can base ourselves on the CBR previews. Right on.
I did not see it at my local shop this week--but I also forgot to ask about it, so maybe it sold out before I got there.

It came out yesterday, Wednesday January 25th.
I have yet to read it, but I read #21 earlier today. Both are drawn by Ronan Cliquet and I was pretty happy with his work on 21. If he has to fill in from time to time to keep the book on schedule, that would be just fine by me.
Bring on Outcast!
Forgot to include: The annual includes a reprint of a story from 1940.
Re-reprinting a story from Green Hornet Golden Age Remastered #1. Regarding that book, it's too bad they never got as far as the Harvey Comics run, as the quality of the original stories improved at that point. Probably should have skipped the floppy comic reprints and went straight to hardcover, like DC, Marvel, and Dark Horse's Golden Age reprints. I'd still like to see further hardcover volumes of Green Hornet Comics, but don't hold out much hope for this.
Since DE has The Shadow now, and they're already reprinting some of DC's stuff, I wonder if there's any hope that they'll reprint the Shadow stories from Street & Smith's Shadow Comics?
Regarding other Golden Age characters, I'd love to see DE take a shot at Captain Midnight. He's not a character that would bear updating, so it would have to be a period piece, set just prior to and during WWII. Not entirely sure whether or not the character is in public domain now -- it used to be copyrighted by the Wander Company, makers of Ovaltine, sometime into the 1970s or 1980s, but the copyright may since have lapsed.

Awesome! Thanks for charging me twice for the same material, Dynamite!Originally Posted by positronic
Especially in light of the rather sudden ending to the main story.
I know covers don't always reflect the actual content of the book, but can someone direct me to the part where the Hornet goes "berserk"? My copy must have a couple of pages stuck together 'cause I didn't see it.
"Britt's frustration drives him to shocking brutality in a search for the source of a human-trafficking ring."
Meh. I wasn't expecting (or particularly looking forward to) Jennifer Blood violence, and don't tend to care for that anyway, but I did think we'd see Jr's eyes opened to some of the uglier aspects of the job he's still learning and sometimes fails to think through. If anything, Kato was the one put in a difficult position.
Interesting commentary on the state of the newspaper industry, which should not be ignored in this book, but overall a little disappointing.
