review 1: I picked this up alley for the reason that I am a Kevin Smith fan. I enjoy his work and few people can make me laugh the way he does. Even in this serious story there were many laugh out loud moments. The introduction ht Kevin Smith provides interesting background to how the book came about. I will not spoil it, but after reading the book you can most defiantly see the effects of what transpired to make this book happen. Overall this is a nice version of the character fir a younger demographic. It is flashy, funny, fast paced, sexy, and makes you want to read volume 2 right away.
review 2: This. This is why I wanted to see Kevin Smith's version of the Green Hornet instead of the Michel Gondry/Seth Rogen horror-show. This is so much what I expected out o... moref the Green Hornet, I actually started writing a version very similar to it before I found out Smith was. Now I wish I'd finished it. I'd be interested to see exactly how similar the two scripts ended up.I've always been a fan of the Green Hornet, especially the fact that he is a descendant of the Lone Ranger (that's canon, by the way), and I've always wanted to see him get a decent treatment. The old 60s TV show was fun and worked well with the campy Batman of the same era (which is why there were crossovers between the two), but it wasn't a serious take on the character. In fact, outside of comics and the original radio series, the Hornet has never been given serious consideration. Smith, fortunately, gives the character, his history, and the generational continuation its due diligence. Really wish we could have seen THIS version of the movie, but the comic is a welcome substitute.Fun, quick read. Ready for Volume 2. less
