THE GREEN HORNET STRIKES! #1 WHO IS THE GREEN HORNET? A hero? A criminal? He doesn't even know, himself... In a near future where the financial crisis never resolved, Chicago is more corrupt than ever. The rich are few and wield unimaginable power and influence. The poor are countless and live without hope. Gangs vie for control of the streets. Heroes have long been forgotten... Until now...
Nick Barrucci decided it was a good idea if I start blogging for Dynamite, so here I am, typing away and scratching my brain meat for something to justify the time you’re taking to read this. Nick said I could blog about anything fun, my interests, whatever... so with enough rope to hang myself, here I go.
The weekend I just had was a busy one, that began with me getting the cover art for The Boys #43 finished and uploaded it to the server. What does that mean? Well, for those of you who don’t know, this is how comics are done in the age of the internet. I complete inked work, scan it at 400 dpi and upload it onto a server at Dynamite. From there the files are formatted and sent to the colorist. Tony Avina has recently put up some tutorials that show how much he puts into his work and how he does it!
The Green Hornet is back and Dynamite is the new home for the avenging hero and his faithful sidekick, Kato (and, the Black Beauty, ‘natch!)!
And we’re kicking things off with a BANG as we launch the first of a new series of adventures starting with the great Kevin Smith. And let’s get it out of the way, right here, right NOW – the scripts are in! Every single one! Joining Smith in bringing his unproduced screenplay to life is artist Jonathan (Black Terror) Lau as they present the one and only origin of the Green Hornet and Kato. This is the comic book version of Kevin smith’s unproduced Green Hornet film and Dynamite is the only place to get in on the action – it all begins here!
Do you ever find yourself thinking that kids today have no imaginations?
Well, James Kuhoric can tell you why-and that's just what he does in his new miniseries Tales of the Legendary Talespinners.
While other series focus on the fictional creations of literature and legend, Talespinners focuses on the creators of the stories. "Legendary Talespinners is a story that I've had bouncing around my mind for the better part of this decade," Kuhoric said. "It started as most good tales do-with a single character-and grew organically from there. I wanted to tell the story of a girl, Abby, who locked her imagination away at an early age; I wondered what would happen to her if she were dragged into a crazy world that didn't jive with her orderly perspective of life. From there, Talespinners developed into a story that was part Alice in Wonderland and part Wizard of Oz with a large dash of Big Fish and Shrek thrown in for good measure.
