The Green Hornet

You’d be forgiven for already forgetting (or intentionally erasing from your memory) the Green Hornet movie from 2011 — it’s hard to blame director Michel Gondry and star / screenwriter Seth Rogen for the underwhelming revival of the classic hero, as neither were well-equipped to handle the pressures of making a big-budget studio film at the time. But it looks like The Green Hornet is getting another chance, this time with director Gavin O’Connor and words like “edgy” and “badass” being tossed around.

Over the past year or so, comics publishers have jumped onto the online bundle bandwagon with both feet, offering up deals via HumbleBundle and StoryBundle, among other outlets. Now, Dynamite is trying a deal through yet another medium: BitTorrent. The publisher's "Mega Bundle" from BitTorrent Bundle includes 200-some issues of comics from 30 different series including Vampirella, Red Sonja, Bob's Burgers, Django/Zorro, The Green Hornet and Shaft, all for just $6.

Even so, the writing duo is working with Sam Catlin, who wrote a good many episodes of Breaking Bad, on AMC's new Preacher series, and according to Rogen, there's some seriously nutty stuff in store -- ideas that will expand on th

In one of the first major announcements to come out of this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Dynamite Entertainment has confirmed Masks, a new mini-series that not only sees the first team-up of classic pulp heroes like the Shadow, the Spider and the Green Hornet, but also sees Alex Ross' first full interior work on a comic in years...

When I was growing up, I would watch the 1966 Batman TV show for at least an hour every day. I always loved it when a celebrity would pop through a window during Batman and Robin's famous vertical Bat-Climbs (which, as you can see in the graphic above, was just a hilariously cheap camera trick)...

Despite the fact that I loved the old Van Williams/Bruce Lee show when I was a kid, I wasn't really looking forward to the big screen version of The Green Hornet. Of course, considering that the last two movies ComicsAlliance sent me to see were Jonah Hex and the downright abysmal Marmaduke, there's a reason for my cynicism that has absolutely nothing to do with Green Hornet itself, but even s

Pugs: Adventure Time storyboard artist Rebecca Sugar has published her first comic, Pug Davis, which stars an all-American anthropomorphic pug hero and his human sidekick as they adventure through space.

Last night, the official trailer for the new "The Green Hornet" film was released and this old Hornet fan finds himself thinking: " ... really?" For a long time "The Green Hornet' film production read like a list of recasts and delays. Plans were made in the '90s, then dropped...

From the Justice League to the Outsiders, Batman's contributed his skills to the DC universe's finest teams (and really, isn't any team with Batman on it automatically the finest by default?). One team he hadn't joined? Superboy's mid '90s buddies The Ravers...
