review:

'The Lone Ranger Volume 7' collects volumes 13 through 18 of the series by Dynamite Comics. The series features great covers by Francesco Francavilla and is written by Ande Parks.



The graphic novel starts out with a scene at an antiques auction where a woman has a silver bullet. This flashes back to a story of the Lone Ranger freeing some Chinese immigrant women who had been enslaved. From there, we move to a posse chasing a fugitive across a desert, into a continuation of a previous story from Tonto's life. Then the rest of the volume is a larger story arc following the Lone Ranger and Tonto back East looking for the a man who betrayed them in a previous story. There is lots of comedy about these two trying to fit into Chicago, but there is also some backstory about John Reid's days in college there.



The book is solid. The writing is good and the art by Esteve Polls is good. This is a good character, and I don't think there is another straight up Western comic out there (without being weird west or steampunk or something), so this is a nice niche addition to the field of comics. I enjoyed it.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
