In November, the Green Hornet franchise is headlined by the conclusion of Kevin Smith's Green Hornet's epic!

Kevin Smith's Green Hornet #9 & #10 is written by Kevin Smith, and drawn by Jonathan Lau, with covers by Alex Ross, Greg Horn, and Joe Benitez. In #9, Green Hornet and Kato's confrontation with The Black Hornet has left them in an unimaginable death trap of epic proportions. Only Kato's drastic, dangerous gambit can save them. Even if it does, The Black Hornet's insidious plans for Century City spell doom for our heroes. Only their self-sacrifice can prevent the utter destruction of their beloved city. Will the new Green Hornet's first mission also be his last? AND IN #10…..IT'S TOP SECRET! CONFIDENTIAL! WE REALLY CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENS HERE!

Arriving hot on the heals of the sold out hardcover, Kevin Smith's Green Hornet Vol.1: Sins of the Father Trade Paperback is written by Kevin Smith, and drawn by Jonathan Lau, with a cover by Alex Ross. The Green Hornet is back, and Dynamite is the new home for the avenging hero, his faithful sidekick, Kato and their sweet ride - the Black Beauty! Playboy Britt Reid Jr. has lived a frivolous life of luxury. But when a mysterious figure from the past brutally and publicly murders his father, all of that changes. Now, driven by a thirst for vengeance and guided by two generations of Katos, this one time underachiever will find those responsible and take his father's place as Century City's greatest protector - The Green Hornet! Collecting issues one through five of the series based on Kevin Smith's unproduced Green Hornet film, this volume also features a complete cover gallery by industry greats Alex Ross, John Cassaday, J. Scott Campbell and more, as well as an introduction by the man himself, Kevin Smith!

The Green Hornet Year One #8 is written by Matt Wagner and drawn by Aaron Campbell, with covers by Matt Wagner and Francesco Francavilla! Continuing to dog the operations of Skid Caruso leads the Green Hornet and Kato to the bloody aftermath of a mob execution. Our heroes soon find themselves cornered at the scene of the crime by the police, leading to a daring rooftop confrontation. Meanwhile, flashbacks to Britt and Kato's past reveal the creation of the Hornet's underground hideaway in the very heart of 1938 Chicago and a highly unusual request that the Hornet makes of his operations technician. Will the Hornet and Kato succeed in discovering the secret vault that houses the sum of Caruso's ill-gotten treasure?
