I got to disagree with Alex here, about the mask. The full face mask is a unique look, and cool in it's own right, but I'm partial to the half mask, even without the new "eyes". I do like the overall designs of the new Green Hornet and Kato costumes, especially the cloak on the Hornet.

I think what's cool about the Green Hornet (& Dynamite recognizes this) is that he is like Batman in the sense he can work in different eras, in different settings & still be relevant. Unlike someone like Tarzan who works best in the early 1900's. I think Green Hornet can become Dynamite's most successful franchise.

Well, I can scratch that off my list now. The one thing I really liked about the Green Hornet is gone. I preferred the less superheroish aspect of it.

Re: Green Hornet: Year One

It is nice to see that Bruce Lee under mask.

Alex appeared to direct a little sidekick/snarl towards the Now version .
The Now title , IIRC , ended in the middle of an uncompleted storyline . I have wondered if the art , film-proofs , anyway , for the remaining issues still exist , and if , perhaps , Dynamite could publish a mini-series completing it , say?

so if Ross had a hand in the character designs why wasnt his name mentioned in the credits?
