Dynamite Entertainment announced this morning that Mark Waid will take on a relaunch of Green Hornet in 2013, with covers by his Daredevil comrade-in-arms Paolo Rivera. No interior artist has yet been announced for the series, which will be titled Green Hornet and Kato, but will come this weekend at New York Comic Con.”It should come as little surprise that I have an affinity for all costumed crimefighters no matter if their adventures are ‘period pieces’ or not–heroism is heroism regardless of whatever year’s on the calendar,” said writer Mark Waid. “With this Green Hornet project, which I’ve been percolating on for more than ten years, I’m able to meld my love of the Hornet’s legacy with a little bit of Citizen Kane and a lot of Lawrence of Arabia to tell a story never before told–the dark years of the Hornet’s later career and the one mistake he makes that nearly costs him everything.”
