New Green Hornet Series by Lobdell This Summer

[Ascended]

Just saw the announcement for this here on CBR.

Any other Hornet fans out there? Anyone excited about this? Seems like an odd direction to take if you ask me, but it's definitely intriguing.

Spoilers ahoy

Ready? You were warned about the spoilers

spoilers:

Looks like Hornet finds an alien baby and has to protect it from.....something? I'm wondering whether this is a meta-commentary on the arrival of Superman, which kinda put the final nail in the coffin for the pulp heroes like Hornet and the Phantom, or whether it's a swerve and there's no "alien" at all.

Lobdell is pretty hit or miss as a creator, and usually is a "miss" for me, but I definitely want to give this new series a shot. I'm hoping Dynamite! will be a better environment for Lobdell than the Big 2 and we get some real quality out of him. But we'll see.
