🥷 About the Comic:
The mask is off — Kato finally gets his own solo title in this dynamic debut from NOW Comics! Known as the silent, lightning-fast partner of the Green Hornet, Kato steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight, battling crime with brains, fists, and martial arts mastery.

This issue launches a darker, more personal look at Kato’s story — packed with ‘90s attitude, gritty art, and a strong martial arts influence that fans of Bruce Lee (who famously portrayed Kato) will appreciate.
