The Green Hornet faces the most dangerous enemy in the his long and storied career: his egotistical and arrogant alter-ego, Britt Reid! A journalist with great influence in his city, Reid takes on the public persona of a social crusader, but he's far too sure of himself and his judgment. When he finally oversteps his bounds, an innocent man pays a terrible price... and the legend of the Green Hornet may be forever tarnished! From the mind of superstar writer Mark Waid (Kingdom Come) comes a new era for the classic pulp hero!

    The Green Hornet Vol. 1: Bully Pulpit (2013) by Mark Waid, Daniel Indro & Ronilson Freire (Dynamite)

    I noticed this series showed up free on Comixology recently. It received a 3.4 on Goodreads, 4.5 on Amazon, and an 8.4 Critic Review score on Comic Book Roundup. At the time of its release, Waid was coming off his celebrated Daredevil run. The covers were attractive but I was not immediately familiar with the interior artists (Indro & Freire), however, the interiors were very similar to Brent Anderson (Astro City) and Butch Guice (Ruse). I felt the art was complimentary to the story and did not detract from the down & dirty crime noir/pulp feel that Waid was going for in this relaunch. I am not very familiar with the character, but Britt Reid was portrayed more of a jerk than I had realized. Kato was still very cool and capable. I did find the series enjoyable and I could tell in his writing that Waid had a fondness for the character.
