I love a dark story, and this beginning promises that Green Hornet is going to stay on a dark path while retaining the light humor between the Hornet and Kato. The two are companionable in a way that most other duos make seem awkward, forced, or just more professional, which is almost amusing in itself since this is a boss and the person who works for him. This story from start to finish made me want more, and it finishes with me already counting down the time to the next one.
