review:
'Lone Ranger/Green Hornet: Champions of Justice' written by Michael Uslan with art by Giovanni Timpano is a team up between two heroes from different eras. I found it kind of plodding.

It turns out that Lone Ranger, John Reid, and Green Hornet, Britt Reid, are related. This seems obvious when you realize they have the same last name, but it's not a conclusion I'd come to before now.

Older relative John is interested in the legend of the Lone Ranger living on, but Britt wants to fight crime his own way. They are investigating a series of brutal murders that may be linked to famous scientists being targeted by Nazis. This leads to these two initially getting in each other's way, then accepting each other's methods, then even swapping those with Britt on horse and John driving a car.

When I was younger, both these characters were around in reruns. I always felt they were worth watching until what I really wanted to watch was on. I guess I still feel that way. I liked all the bits of history worked in to the story, and if you miss them, they are called out in an afterword. The art works well enough. I just felt my mind drifting as I read this, and that's never a good sign.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
