The Green Hornet: Dark Tomorrow #3

Synopsis

In the late twenty-first century, a genuinely criminal Green Hornet is visited in his delirium by many of his masked forebears. He awakens to find Kato has him undergoing a high-tech form of acupuncture to allow him to throw off the effects of the poison administered by the Steel Syndicate. When Clay asks why he has saved the man he had previously tried to kill, Kato admits that he is no longer so sure that this Hornet is "such a lost cause." They determine that the Syndicate wants the Hornet's invention, the earwig, which allows him to "tap into all forms of electronic communication anywhere in the world." In the previously seen Black Beauty which is now revealed to be able to travel underwater as well as in the air, they go to the Hornet's apartment and find more of the syndicate's manlike robots there, but easily defeat them. Even more of them invade the Hornet's offshore casino, Detroit's, but the masked men arrive because that's where the earwig is. These robots are also defeated, the earwig is secured, and the Green Hornet decides to return to the side of justice!
