- Title: Green Hornet #3
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Mark Waid
- Artist: Daniel Indro
The further the Green Hornet goes in trying find and unmask the mysterious Voice, a bomb-making madman with recorded diatribes and connection to the Nazis, the more concerned Kato becomes for his friend.
When the Hornet assumes the guilt and confronts a family friend who recently bruised his honor in front of the entire Sentinel staff on the flimsiest of evidence, turns an honest cop into a corrupt one for his own purposes, and Britt Reid decides to run for mayor seeking out more power to abuse, Kato has finally had enough. Warning Reid one last time about his God complex, the Green Hornet’s friend and confidant moves out.
The comic does a good job at showing us events from both Reid and Kato’s perspective as Reid’s harsh (but in his mind necessary) tactics are viewed completely different even by his best friend. I don’t think we need worry a permanent split between the pair, but it’s likely things will continue to get worse between the Hornet and Kato before they get better. Worth a look.
