20 page The Green Hornet story "Old Wounds"

Characters Paul Reid [Green Hornet IV]; Gloria [Glory]; Kato II [Hayashi Kato]; Johnny Dollar (V); Jeremy Fletcher (V); Helena Stefanopoulos (V); Diana Reid; Britt Reid II; Mishi Kato
Synopsis The Green Hornet's discovery that Gloria/Glory is also Sister-Hood requires Paul Reid to back out of his romance with her in a way that won't raise her suspicions about his reasons, which results in a series of dates which are uncomfortable for both of them. After one such evening, the Hornet and Kato break up an illegal arms sale, allowing one of the supplier's men to escape so his boss, Johnny Dollar, will know who's responsible. Enraged, Dollar has Paul kidnapped off the street in broad daylight, then spreads the word across the underworld that he's putting the true identity of the Green Hornet up for auction. Diana, on the verge of telling Hayashi about a positive result on a home pregnancy test, is informed of the snatch via her cel. Kato hits the streets, with the Beauty's tinted windows and voice synthesizer hiding the fact that the Hornet is not on the back seat, and learns of the auction. As, variously, either The City's top crime figures or their representatives arrive at Dollar's, in a supply room hastily converted to a holding cell Glory confronts Paul, flatly addressing him as "Hornet"!

Characters The Syphons
Synopsis Announcements of the imminent publication of: 1. a trade paperback collection of a then-recent Syphons miniseries and another new mini with that team, accompanied by a strangely faint illustration of the group, reduced from a previously seen house ad for the earlier mini (where the indicated signature was visible); 2. the long-delayed last two installments of a Married...With Children miniseries in a single, flip-book format, issue; 3. Kato III as a graphic novel; 4. the second Green Hornet Annual's Hornet trivia contest, with a brief description of the premise of that comic's main story. Also included is the standard boxed list of NOW's staff.

Notes The discussion of Kato III makes no mention of the fact that it was previously announced, then postponed, as a miniseries or that the currently described cover, painted by Hector Gomez and seen in house ads for the novel itself, replaces the unusual embossed line-art one by Patrick Zircher intended for #1 of the mini. In the end, this material was not published in any format.
