Green Hornet 8-9, 2 part Story Arc, Now Comics, June-July 1990
Green Hornet #8: On The Pad: The new Hornet and Kato roust a dockside bar to put word out on the street that the Green Hornet is back. Meanwhile, a police raid/bust of a narcotics operation goes bad, as the "suspects" are actually lying in wait to shoot the cops, killing three and leaving the other in critical condition; Diana Reid, on her first day back at work after the attack on the Reids' mansion, is certain they were tipped off, and calls in the Hornet; Aside from the victims, only two people knew about the plan, a division captain and a DEA agent on loan from Washington; As the Hornet and Kato prepare to move in and shake up the captain to see how he reacts, three motorcycle-riding thugs force his car off the road and level heavy weapons at him.

Green Hornet #9: On The Pad Part Two: The Hornet and Kato save Capt. Thornston from the ambush, but some of the gang, including leader Jose Truizar himself, escape; As the gang's attempt on the captain's life clears him of being their informant, the masked heroes turn their attentions on the one other suspect, DEA agent Hamil, and pay him a visit, offering him a bribe; However, his reactions are similarly incompatible with guilt, stalling the investigation; Mishi starts moving into her new apartment; A passing encounter with Reid Tower's custodian gives Paul a brainstorm, and a check of the records shows that the wife of the police headquarters' janitor is Truizar's sister.
