Green Hornet
Mark Waid, prominent writer of such books as Daredevil, Irredeemable, as well as Captain America, will soon be composing a new hero, the eco-friendly Hornet. Westfield’s Roger Ash contacted Waid to discover more about this upcoming job from Dynamite Entertainment.
Westfield: What drawn in you to this project?
Mark Waid: I’ve been stewing on the story for more than a decade, actually–one of my friends did a pass on the ever-evolving eco-friendly Hornet movie script almost ten years back as well as speaking to him then about the Hornet reminded me what I like about the character–that he has a triple identity (civilian, hero as well as “villain”), that he caretakes a decades-long heroic legacy, as well as so forth. Also, the car. He’s got a sweeter offer than even Batman in that regard, since even Batman has to drive himself. The Hornet has A CHAUFFEUR.
Westfield: If someone’s not that familiar with the eco-friendly Hornet, what should they understand about him before reading this?
Waid: By day, he’s Britt Reid, a kingmaker–the publisher of the city’s leading newspaper as well as a guy of gargantuan influence. however by night, he infiltrates the underworld by masquerading as the eco-friendly Hornet, a criminal mastermind both trusted as well as feared by the city’s gangs, which enables him all kind of info on upcoming crimes that the authorities can’t get.

He’s still in shape as well as fighting, however his ego’s about to get the much better of him, so successful has he been. as well as Kato’s there to be his voice of reason, his conscience–at least at first. however when the Hornet lets his pride drive him into making a horrible mistake, it up-ends whatever about their lives.
