By Josh Wilding - 2/9/2011

With The Green Hornet's success worldwide making a sequel extremely likely, it looks like Dynamite Entertainment are also keen on continuing the adventures of Seth Rogen and Jay Chou's portrayal of Green Hornet and Kato. Here is an excerpt from the report over at IGN Movies:

Hitting in April is The Green Hornet: Aftermath #1, written by Jai Nitz with interior and cover art from Nigel Raynor.

The series continues the adventures of Green Hornet and Kato as they deal with a power struggle over the drug trafficking in LA. Now that Green Hornet and his partner are in the public eye, it's getting harder and harder to keep their identities secret. Not to mention, a whole new breed of masked men that complicate their mission.

Dynamite is making readers a deal in offering The Green Hornet: Aftermath #1 for a discounted $1.99.

	ChrisMc - 2/9/2011, 2:03 PM Login to report abuse How did the movie suck? A) The Green Hornet is a pretty lame comic book hero to begin with. B) It wasn't a superhero movie, it was an action movie C) Seth Rogen surprised everyone with how good his performance was D) Seth Rogen surprised everyone with how good his writing with Evan Goldberg was
	Stumblin - 2/9/2011, 2:07 PM Login to report abuse Ah, I have yet to see it for myself, I still plan on it but I doubt it'll be in theaters.
	superpooper - 2/9/2011, 2:15 PM Login to report abuse Hopefully a comic book is the ONLY continuation this steamer ever gets
	AlcoholicA - 2/9/2011, 2:49 PM Login to report abuse I thought the movie was pretty damn good, especially for a Seth Rogen movie. I usually watch his movies to get my fill of vulgar immature comedy, but this was better.
	GUNGRAVE1 - 2/9/2011, 2:53 PM Login to report abuse green hornet movie was all right to much comedy .Should have been little like old storys seth was not right for the role some other acter should played hornet kato was bad the hornet was not the GH I liked .A comic book maybe.
	Ceejay - 2/9/2011, 2:55 PM Login to report abuse All the years we waited for this movie to happen and they make it into a stupid, annoying comedy action film! So glad its flopping both domestically and internationally. 4 weeks and still yet to make it past $100 million! Dumb comic will be cancelled before the movie hits home video too! God, Tarrantino should have directed this with George Clooney and Jet Li back in the 90's and spared us this sacrilege!
	Weedbeater - 2/9/2011, 3:07 PM Login to report abuse It didn't suck, it's just different. Yeah its more comedic, but do you really want another Batman clone? then you'd bash it even more. It was a fun and entertaining movie. not every movie has to be grim and serious like batman. also, its close to getting back that 100 million $ budget. its at 87 million as of yesterday maybe if you looked at box office results instead of pulling numbers and words out of your ass then maybe i'd believe you that this is a flop.
	Weedbeater - 2/9/2011, 3:10 PM Login to report abuse so i ask: does every cbm have to be dark and serious?
	marvel72 - 2/9/2011, 3:19 PM Login to report abuse @ weedbeater the movie was full of jokes that weren't even funny,i didn't even laugh once. i was actually cheering on the bad guy to actually kill the green hornet. if i got two good things out of this movie it was the creation of the car & the end credits.
	Weedbeater - 2/9/2011, 3:28 PM Login to report abuse i guess opinions will be opinions. i'm about to post an editorial on the lgiht vs. dark thing anyways you should check it out
	GUNGRAVE1 - 2/9/2011, 3:46 PM Login to report abuse It was not good at all just kato and car was asome. I call foe a reboot keep the actor kato and the car chang the green hornet to somebody else.
	vermillion - 2/9/2011, 4:04 PM Login to report abuse I thought it was a really enjoyable film. Sure, nothing like the 60's tv series, but oh well. I'd love to see a sequel. :D
	Creature - 2/9/2011, 4:15 PM Login to report abuse Quaint. The movie was great in the end.
	flames809 - 2/9/2011, 4:34 PM Login to report abuse movie was awesome i give it a 15/10
	marvel72 - 2/9/2011, 5:10 PM Login to report abuse @ flames809 "movie was awesome i give it a 15/10" really says alot,i suppose its found its targeted audience.
	KaneDiablo - 2/9/2011, 5:12 PM Login to report abuse This movie was horrible! Puffing the magic dragon sure helped me sit through that movie!
	Anthrax - 2/9/2011, 5:58 PM Login to report abuse better than samllvile atleast LOL XD!
	Anthrax - 2/9/2011, 5:59 PM Login to report abuse smallvile*
	vermillion - 2/9/2011, 6:46 PM Login to report abuse Marvel72 would say it's wrong to enjoy this movie. :P
	marvel72 - 2/9/2011, 7:03 PM Login to report abuse @ vermillion you're entitled to an opinion,if you like it i won't be able to change your mind,but some of the reveiws & ratings on this site do my head in joshw gave it 4.5/5 & flames809 15/10. if you rate movies like this that high,what would give something that rightly deserves it i.e the dark knight some think thats the best comic book movie ever,that all comic movies are measured against. so what would you give the dark knight,5/5 but thats only 1/2 a mark more than the green hornet,what shall we rate it like flames809 40/10. its nowhere new that type of score for a film to get that type of mark it would have to be perfect & no movie is perfect.
	Scion - 2/9/2011, 8:03 PM Login to report abuse Hopefully a serious reboot is in the works w/o Apatow's fat illegitimate son.
	matt28 - 2/10/2011, 1:20 PM Login to report abuse The film was good you have to consider that seth's character starts off as a immature spoiled kid maybe in a sequel you will see a more mature Britt Reid and jay chou as kato was pretty impressive. loved the film hope they make another and for the people that hate go watch you're batman and robin and enjoy that
	Ceejay - 2/10/2011, 3:06 PM Login to report abuse @Weedbeater - You should learn to read the box office on a more regular basis to understand that a movie costing $120 million to make and not even close to making back its budget in 4 weeks as well as practically the same results internationally means FLOP! A films weekend takings almost half every week it stays in circulation, for GH to be a hit, it would have to had passed $100 by its 2nd week to stand a decent chance of making a substantial profit domestically. That's not going to happen! And Internationally its practically stillborn with a lousy £83 million, that's pathetic! A movie that costly needs to make $200-300 million clear profit worldwide to make a sequel worthwhile, this film currently stands at around $50 million profit after a month! Flick blew its wad on the opening MLK weekend and whimpered to a slow crawling death ever since. Also, what the hell makes you think making the Green Hornet properly would equate to it being a Batman Clone? They're not even remotely similar in or out of costumed identities or in GH case a bloody suit and tie!
	GUNGRAVE1 - 2/10/2011, 3:42 PM Login to report abuse Please make a reboot of GH new actor for lead role not seth get somebody like jansen ackles from supernatuarl. Keep jay chou as kato and car different story .
	Kalabog - 2/10/2011, 5:26 PM Login to report abuse People who tries to equate the Green Honet with Baman shows how much they don't understand the original source material and how Seth ROgan's movie(as I feared) is further damaging the GH mythology and perhaps even the franchise. Green Hornet is a cime fighter. He is not a superhero like superman, Iron man, and no even batman. Green Hornet in essence is an undercover agent which is more realistic and more dangerous task because he is identified as with the criminals. And criminals think GH is one of them. How you make this work in the cinema is much more challeging and ineresting. GH strengths is much more cerebral and psychological. Its so sad hollywood tend to focus only on Kato and the martial arts stuff. In the 60's the District Attorney knows the Green Hornet's true identity-- somehow implied he is secretly backed by the government agency. The best tonality would be Mission Impossible, the Bourne Identity and the Punisher.
	GUNGRAVE1 - 2/10/2011, 7:28 PM Login to report abuse You are right about GH.
