Description:

An unstoppable power will plunge the world into darkness... unless the crime-fighting icons known as The Shadow, The Green Hornet, and Kato can stop it!

When an invention capable of harnessing elemental forces falls into the hands of the maniacal Shiwan Khan, The Shadow races against time to prevent the utter destruction of all America's vital industries and financial institutions. To that end, he enlists The Green Hornet, a crusader masquerading as a crimelord, to infiltrate Shiwan's organization of saboteurs.

Will the masked heroes prevent Khan's deadly plot to shatter a nation?



Rating: 1 star (Did Not Finish)

Review:

I like both The Green Hornet and The Shadow but this was not the best story to showcase them in. The story was really boring and the writing certainly wasn't keeping me engaged and wanting to read more.

Something, I did think the writer did really well was all the historical facts that were included in the story, however, I wish the story was given the same amount attention. I did like the artwork, the artist did a good job of capturing the time and feel of that era. 

This just wasn't very good.
