"Ghost Town". The first in a series of single issue stories, and a perfect jumping on point. The Lone Ranger and Tonto come across a small Western town that harbors great suffering. That suffering resonates through time, to the Ranger's own past, and to the future. Can the Lone Ranger and Tonto find a way to replace that suffering with hope?
You would be doing yourself a disservice if you missed this book. It's great for Lone Ranger and western fans alike. I give it a 5/5 Read Full Review
Overall, at its core, this is astandaloneLone Ranger and Tonto story. It'sbeautifullyengaging as we root for the Ranger, he's one of thosecharactersthat is never truly subject to change like certain other ‘superior' heroes. It's a simple issue, but the story itself is anything but. It's quite vile how the women are being used, so it's not exactly a very ‘light' thing either. It's a perfectbalanceof story and Ranger action that can be enjoyed by all readers. Like I said in the first paragraph, pick up this comic, it's one of the best I've read in awhile. (Nice ending too.) Read Full Review
The issue works well providing a villain that almost makes the Lone Ranger loose his temper. There's also a couple of nice scenes where the Lone Ranger earns the womens' trust first through his badge and later through a single silver bullet. That final piece also ties into the issue's opening scene at an Antiques Roadshow where a woman with family heirloom and a legendary story about her grandmother's grandmother adventure with a masked man helps set the stage for what follows. For fans. Read Full Review
"The Lone Ranger" is a deflating experience because the book is saddled with a great writing and art team and yet this offering is just flat in a serviceable and competent manner. There is no extra layer to this issue, though it does try, and as such this tale is as predictable as a one-sentence summary. Read Full Review
