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.
