This was an uneven volume to be sure. (I hated anything to do with Zombies.) Still it was a good read and kept me interested throughout. Lots of good stuff with the Hornet team. The series resolved pretty quickly in the last couple pages, but at least they have us a resolution. I'm sad that it's over.

Another solid entry in this run.
In this you get a similar story from before, a bunch of wanna be Green Hornets. Kato goes MIA, as no one knows what to do with her apart from Kevin Smith. Then for extra fun there are zombies, now I thought it was stupid at first but then I really grew to the idea.
Unlike the previous volumes, where was an evil Green Hornet. This one actually works because the character is built up with motivation to go along with it, unlike the 2 previous ones. As for the Kato bit I wasn't completely shocked, it seemed to be going that way after the second omnibus. I liked the fact that Britt got a new team they, that was a welcome as each brought something new to the team, shame it didn't last very long.
The ending felt very hamfisted, it just didn't seem to know what it wanted to be. It's not like the whole thing leading towards the ending either, it's just that last issue, it's left very open ended. Now there is a follow up to this Green Hornet Vol. 1: Generations (Green Hornet: Generations which I've just read, it doesn't conclude anything it actually raises more request and is so damn disrespectful of the epic run that's been built.

The main story is a little better than the previous two volumes, but fundamentally, it's mostly about Green Hornet having sex with his various female sidekicks. Then there's the seriously contrived superhero team-up consisting of a Latino, an Egyptian Muslim, a black transgender woman, and... a busty woman who wears nothing but tiny strips of cloth. All working for the white American hero, of course. I'm all for diversity in comics, but this came across as lame. I'm done with this series.

All versions of Kato are MIA for most of the run, and the villains skew to close to the Superhero end of the spectrum to be believable in the GH universe.
