review:
'Lone Ranger Volume 8' ties up the series in a fine style. Collected here are issues 19-25.
There isn't a larger story as such, but the story of these two diverse friends is woven throughout some true events of the old West. From the tragic death of a lawman to a native woman charging for raindances. White men hunt buffalo for sport and leave the carcasses to rot while a local tribe starves as their food source is slaughtered. A pregnant woman lost in the snow with her newborn is found by a relentless Lone Ranger who refuses to give up the hunt. We see these events through the eyes of a white man and an native man who have both experienced loss.
This has been a great take on these characters. They are allowed to be the larger than life characters that we know them to be, but without becoming caricatures or stereotypes. Art in this volume by Esteve Polls is topnotch, as is the writing of Ande Parks. I read some of these at the beginning of the series, and now this concluding volume. I look forward to reading more of the volumes in the middle now.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Dynamite Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this fine graphic novel.
