The Lone Ranger #1 is a powerful tale of the Old West and begins the origins of the Lone Ranger in a way never before presented. Evoking shades of such powerful Westerns as Unforgiven, the tone of such powerful modern interpretations of the Old West as Deadwood, and written in the most reverential way, this is the must-read comic of 2006. Written by Brett (Firefly) Matthews and art directed by John (Astonishing X-Men) Cassaday — who also provides each “dynamite” cover for the series. Lone Ranger #1 also features the interior veteran illustrator Sergio Cariello and colorist Dean (Punisher) White.
