Now Comics did it Twenty Years ago, before reverting back to the "original" Bruce Lee version after a dozen issues.
She became The Crimson Wasp.
My personal favourite is the futuristic scifi inversion in Dark Tomorrow where Bruce Lee gets to be Green Hornet.

The Cassaday and Ross covers are cool, they can keep Campbell.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I really liked the NOW series. I read an article about it in BackIssue a while back. The Hornet owners and NOW's owner basically torpedoed the series. The heir to the Trendle family HATED the female Kato and ordered her gone.
I can't say I care for the little cape thingy. A bit too efeminate and super-heroey for the Hornet.

I too enjoyed the Now series. they really did a good job of tying all the Hornets from radio, movie serials, tv, etc., together into a cohesive whole. Plus my good friend Mark Hieke worked on the series.
Dont know what approach Dynamite is taking, but I dont like the look of the Hornet..who needs to be in street clothes not whatever that jackety thing is, and Kato looks too much like the mystery assassin from Sky Captain."Crayons taste like purple!"Comment

I still have the now comics series with the rest of my comics they were pretty good at the time.
I don't think I'll bother this time around.Dynamite just makes me mad by issuing 100 different covers all the time.
Not sure if I should keep my nows or try to get rid of them,I need to make some serious room.“When you say “It’s hard”, it actually means “I’m not strong enough to fight for it”. Stop saying its hard. Think positive!”Comment

So what's changed now that a female Kato is being tried again. Not that I think it will succeed, as before I expect classic Kato back.
Couldn't care less about Alex Ross' work anymore. He's effectively destroyed his reputation IMHO with the constant churning out of product for Dynamite (does he have financial interest in the company I wonder?). And as noted, none of his work has any innovative appeal anymore...I picture his studio having a huge stack of these stock hero poses ready to go, just waiting for Dynamite, DC, or Marvel to call and say, "Hey Alex, we'll need 3 Captain Americas, a Green Hornet, and 2 Supermans by Tuesday!" " "No problem, just remember to send me the check for the Deluxed Signed limited Edition Lithograph of each!"
Dynamite and their 10 covers per issue nonsense is kind of ridiculous too...is there anyone truly buying ALL of these everytime? And seriously Dynamite, for every issue? No, wait, there were no variants that I know of for the Sherlock Holmes series, which was excellent. I've picked up one or two variants here & there, mostly the Lone Ranger stuff, but only when I've found it for cover price.Comment
