In 1998 two things happened in the Star Wars universe: Natalie Portman was cast to play the mother of Luke and Leia, and Darkhorse was at work adapting Timothy Zahn's Thrawn books. In issue 5 of "The Last Command," the opportunity arose for Padmé to make her first official appearance.

Here is that one page, penciled by Edvin Biukovic, inked by Eric Shanower, and coloured by
Pamela Rambo

He was a man in a mask.

He broke into Progamma in New York on a light night.

He made his way to a locker in the biotech facility, one with a biohazard label on it.

A security guard caught him as he was taking something out.

He caught the guard by surprise by throwing it at him.

( Then he threw himself. )

It only reads that way.

The first issue of it, of Mike Baron's modern take on his 1980s character, is straightforward.

It moves quickly through his joining the army and bonding with the dog he's assigned to train for the disposal of explosive ordinance, with every panel feeling like a change of scene.

Some of them feel jumpy, due to the tendency for consecutive ones to focus on the same characters.

It's not a bad effect, though, as shown in Norbert's capture after the death of his dog friend.

( In the original, his captors were the Viet Cong; here, I think you can guess. )

I'm a big fan of the Green Hornet concept. He's blood-related to the Lone Ranger, and this is never, ever mentioned. He's a Batman who has fun and levity, his vigilante alter ego is presented as a villain. He punks out the real baddies by pretending to be badder than them, and wins the day for good! He has a good relationship with his valet. He dresses really well.

The Green Hornet mythos has a really poor track record on dealing with race, when by "race" you mean "people who aren't white americans". Kato, the extremely capable chauffeur/valet/co-member of the team that makes "the Green Hornet" has been Chinese, Filipino and Japanese. That's insensible, and no good.

The best-known Kato, and the best-known iteration of the Green Hornet set-up, is the 1967 version; Bruce Lee's first American role. He aces it, and it's a shame they made him tone down his physical capabilities for the role. In the Green Hornet comics of the eighties, of which there were a few, this version of Kato is known as "Hayashi Kato" (OH WOW GUYS THAT'S REAL CHINESE NICE WORK ON ALLEVIATING THE PROPERTY'S HISTORY OF CASUAL RACISM). Sometimes. Sometimes that's his son, I think.

So as far as I can make out, and according to wikipedia, the "Kato" of the comic I am about to show you is supposed to be the Bruce Lee version. It bloody isn't, but it's supposed to be.

That is one of the many things that makes this the worst comic I own.

This is--

( I don't know why he's )

So if anyone has issue 2/2 of this book, howsabout you enlighten us all as to what happens? We're dying to know.

How does this compare to the Green Hornet books out this year?

Sorry for more delay. Now comes the conclusion. I will take this last opportunity to say: Read the books! They are awesome! This is but a pale imitation!

Cel: "You sound as if you admired him, sir."
Wedge: "Admired him? Sure I did. He was a different sort of enemy."
Cel: "Different from the Yuuzhan Vong, you mean, sir?"
Wedge: "Different from the Vong, the Emperor, any other Grand Admiral--from anyone," Wedge replied.
Cel: "What do you suppose Thrawn would make of the Yuuzhan Vong, sir?"
Wedge: "Ground Vong, probably--if he had a few examples of their art." - NJO: The Final Prophecy

( Hang on a minute. I'll come with you. )
So that's done. Does anyone have Dark Empire? Takes place a year after this. It's supposed to be not very good, but I've never seen it, and I want to see Darkside!Luke. And if anyone wants to post from Union, if you don't do it I will. Eventually.
