Rainmaker! Nothing was more deadly in the hard life of Old West pioneers than drought. The Lone Ranger and Tonto find themselves embroiled in a violent standoff between the farmers and Native Americans after a con man passing himself off as a shaman promises rain, and fails to deliver. How much will The Ranger sacrifice to prevent a bloodbath? Another action-packed single issue story featuring the West's most iconic heroes.
If there's a downside, it's that the finishing plot point of the issue is a little bit too quick and clean in wrapping things up, and that I wasn't a huge fan of the artwork. It wasn't necessarily bad artwork, just not one that really floored you or enhanced the artwork. Those are minor nitpicks, however. This was a great comic and a real amazing read; the kind of western superhero story that harkens back to what makes those two genres work: ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary acts of heroism and selflessness. I highly recommend this issue. Read Full Review
Lone Ranger #22 was an okay issue for a one shot. The pacing of the book was fine,it read quickly, but it was the actual story that got to me a bit; primarily how the Lone Ranger was introduced to the situation, it felt forced and out of the blue. How and when did the Lone Ranger arrived to that town? What was the Lone Ranger's business? It just doesn't lend itself to show why he was there in the first place. As for the art, the art in the book was probably the weakest part of it all, it looked muddy, with not a lot of use of the colors to pop out the characters, and the art in the faces didn't look good either. I had a hard time determine who was who in the comic. Overall, for a one shot it covered the bases, it gave you a quick story that resolved itself in one issue, but the art was less than desirable.
