The series will explore the origin of the masked crime fighter, who is also the subject of a forthcoming film from Seth Rogen.
The Madame Xanadu and Grendel writer will be joined by artist Aaron Campbell (The Trial of Sherlock Holmes) to produce the title.
Green Hornet: Year One is the second title featuring the character to be produced by Dynamite, who announced a Green Hornet series written by director Kevin Smith earlier this year.
"Matt had a real passion for the Green Hornet," Dynamite publisher Nick Barrucci told Comic Book Resources. "I discovered this at Wizard World Texas last year when we did a panel, and he mentioned how he would love to be involved with the Green Hornet.
"We were still working on the contract so I couldn't discuss it at the time. Once we got the rights, signed the contract and had Kevin Smith in line, we thought, 'Wouldn't it be cool to have someone of Matt Wagner's calibre tell the story of Year One?'.
"Matt has been really incredible at nailing the essence of the character while still making it accessible to a modern audience. He's fantastic."
