As Green Hornet and Kato face off against one of Century City's most powerful drug lords, forces are gathering strength in the remaining crime families. Don Fannelli and Oni Juuma, straight from the pages of Kevin Smith's Green Hornet series, are aligning their forces and gathering strength. Murder, betrayal, and tested loyalties as all of these powerful forces race headlong toward a climactic conclusion that will shape Century City and Green Hornet forever.
This is the worst Green Hornet series published by Dynamite. Its just bad. Lets start with the artwork. I cant stand Desjardins' work. Its smudgy and a bunch of lines trying to pastiche Jim Lee who unlike Desjardins, knew exactly how many lines of cross hatching to put on a page and where he had to stop before the whole thing became convoluted. Desjardins' characters all look the same and have the same expression. The inking i is weak and instead of reinforcing the best aspect of his work, only highlight the bad. The bad composition, the odd facial expressions, the weird storytelling are all put under the spotlight with the chicken scratches that pass for inking. What Desjardins needs is a solid line. Not crosshatching. You look at the page and there is no anchor to help the readers eyes latch on to some element because everything is a weak chicken scratch. There is no play of line width and thickness where foreground elements stand out and help guide the readers eyes within a panel. E Read Full Review
