review:
Featuring all 25 issue's of the comic by Dynamite, this update by Brett Matthews is grittier than earlier versions. Excellent art by Sergio Cariello and Paul Pope add to the pleasures in reading. The publication couldn't be timelier with a new Lone Ranger movie about to open.
My review copy only included the first 100 pages, but they retell the origin of how the ranger lost his family, made a friend, and found a horse. Butch Cavendish is featured as the main villain, and we see his machinations in full swing as he plots to kill off. We also see some jabs at the way Tonto was racially stereotyped in previous versions. In this book, Tonto is not only an equal, but also a mentor.
For those looking for more after the movie ends, or anyone with a craving for the old West, the Lone Ranger Omnibus is a sure fit.
