Mark Waid & Paolo Rivera ("Daredevil") arbeiten für Dynamite an neuer "GREEN HORNET & KATO" -Serie

Verlag Dynamite Entertainment hat angekündigt, das Autor und Comic-Experte Mark Waid ("Kingdom Come", "Superman: Birthright", Daredevil") als Schreiberling einer brandneuen "Green Hornet" - ongoing Heft-Serie gewonnen werden konnte.

Seine Interpretation von Dave Steven's "Rocketeer" (in der Mini-Serie / bald "Graphic Novel" "Rocketeer and the Cargo of Doom") erfreut sich durchweg positiver Kritiken und Resonanz; sehr zur Freude von Verlagshaus IDW.

Derzeit arbeitet Waid sowohl an eigenen Digital Comics (Thrillbent), wie auch für BOOM! Studios an deren Comic-Serie "Steed & Mrs. Peel" (basierend auf  den Original- AVENGERS, in deutschen Landen besser bekannt als "Mit Schirm, Charme & Melone"), und auch Marvels "Daredevil" und den NOW!-quasi-"Neustart des "Hulk".

Dynamite Entertainment hat zwar noch keinen regulären Zeichner für die neue "Green Hornet"- Serie benannt, aber für die Cover- Gestaltung konnte Paolo Rivera gewonnen werden! Rivera und Waid erhielten kürzlich mehrere Eisner- und auch Harvey- Awards für ihre Arbeit an (der derzeit laufenden) "Daredevil"- Heft-Serie von Marvel/Disney.

Vor kurzem verließ Rivera Marvel (und damit auch "Daredevil") um sich als freischaffender Zeichner zu etablieren. Im Pressetext von Dynamite heißt es unter anderem, das Waid 's erste Story Arc Green Hornet's "spätere Jahre" als Verbrechensbekämpfer zeigen werden. Starten wird die neue Heft-Reihe wohl 2013 - man darf gespannt sein.

MARK WAID TO WRITE GREEN HORNET IN 2013! 

WAID’S EISNER AND HARVEY AWARD WINNING 

DAREDEVIL ARTIST-PAOLO RIVERA- 

TO DRAW COVERS FOR THE SERIES!

 October 8th, 2012, Mt. Laurel, NJ - Dynamite is proud to announce multiple Eisner and Harvey Award winning writer Mark Waid, will be relaunching the Green Hornet in 2013. Mark Waid is one of the premier writers in the comics industry, known for his critically acclaimed as well as commercial successful books including Kingdom Come, The Flash, Captain America, Daredevil, and Fantastic Four as well as the upcoming The Indestructible Hulk. Green Hornet will also feature covers by Mark Waid’s Eisner and Harvey Award winning Daredevil artist, Paolo Rivera! Look for Green Hornet and Kato in 2013, from Dynamite Entertainment! 

“It should come as little surprise that I have an affinity for all costumed crimefighters no matter if their adventures are ‘period pieces’ or not–heroism is heroism regardless of whatever year’s on the calendar,” says writer Mark Waid. ”With this Green Hornet project, which I’ve been percolating on for more than ten years, I’m able to meld my love of the Hornet’s legacy with a little bit of Citizen Kane and a lot of Lawrence of Arabia to tell a story never before told–the dark years of the Hornet’s later career and the one mistake he makes that nearly costs him everything.” 

“I wasn’t very familiar with The Green Hornet growing up, but I always thought he looked sleek and stylish – I guess I had a soft spot for old-school heroes,” says cover artist Paolo Rivera. “I later discovered that he was designed by H. J. Ward, my favorite painter of all time. The more I learned about Ward, the more I learned about Britt Reid and Kato, including Reid’s familial ties to The Lone Ranger. I can’t wait to render my interpretation of the green team. That, and I miss Mark Waid.” ...
