I would read a comic about all the classic pulp heroes in one place too! I knew Dynamite had the rights to The Spider but I thought Shadow and Green Hornet were owned by different companies. Guess not. My only concern is that these characters might be too similar what with all of them using the same "Coat/Hat/Mask" motif, but we'll see.

The title is certainly fitting, but lacks a certain "punch". But I suppose "Mystery Men" was already taken by a group of comedy heroes.

I remember there was a short lived book DC did with Pulp Heroes called "First Wave" that teamed up Batman, The Spirit and even Doc Savage! The art by Rag Morales was amazing, and I just found they did print a trade paperback with all six issues! Yeah!

Artist Nicolás R. Giacondino also imagines a similar team up: http://Aerion-the-Faithful.deviantart.com/art/The-shade-in-The-Shadow-98844817
