Comic Review: The Lone Ranger #6
The Lone Ranger #6
Written by Ande Parks

Release Date: June 6, 2012
Cover Price: $3.99
The Lone Ranger #6 is the epic conclusion to the series’ first story arc, and man, is it a great one. We’ve been following the Ranger as he and Tonto have been fighting to save the town of Utopia from the evil Dorsey gang. When we last left them, both The Lone Ranger AND Tonto were in pretty rough shape. Here’s hoping they made it out OK!
Month in and month out I praise the writing skills of Mr. Ande Parks, and this is going to be no different. You might ask yourself WHY I do that. The answer is simple: Ande Parks is a damn fine writer. Plain and simple. If you’re not reading this title and his work over on Green Hornet, you’re missing out on some quality entertainment.

Comic Review: The Lone Ranger #5

Release Date: May 2, 2012
Cover Price: $3.99
The Lone Ranger #5 is what SEEMS to be the climax of the first story arc in this title, but in fact, there is one more chapter to go. I’m not happy that I have to wait a month, because quite frankly, I’m not sure how ANYONE would top this issue.
It’s no secret by now that I love this book and I love Ande Parks‘ writing. Not just here, his Green Hornet title is seriously underrated. But, back to this comic.

Release Date: April 4, 2012
Cover Price: $3.99
The Lone Ranger #4 is another can’t-miss issue. With so many stories going on at once, you never get lost or confused for a minute while reading this excellent comic. For the fourth month in a row, it’s another home run for this book!
Writer Ande Parks crafts a fantastic story this issue with lots going on. There’s about four different tales going on at once, including a fantastic origin of a main character!!! Be SURE to pick this one up, because I have a feeling it’s going to be very important down the road. This issue really transcended my love of the PROPERTY of The Lone Ranger, and solidified my love for this as a COMIC BOOK. At this point, Parks has you invested in these characters, that you don’t even think of them as TV, movie, or radio characters. You just read it because it’s a great comic.

The Lone Ranger #3
Written by Ande Parks
Pencils by Esteve Polls
Colors by Marcelo Pinto
Letters by Simon Bowland
Cover by Francesco Francavilla
Dynamite Entertainment
Release Date: March 7, 2012
Cover Price: $3.99
The Lone Ranger #3 could be the last issue of the series and I really wouldn’t care. OK, I’d care A LOT. But in a different way. The creative team has packed everything that I’ve wanted this comic to be into just three issues. I’m happy as a clam all ready. What more do I need? I’m sure I’ll find out in about a month.
Someone get writer Ande Parks to Chicago so I can buy him a drink. I know, I know, a lot of you think I’m just paying lip service to the guy, but if you actually took the time to read the book, you’d understand. As I mentioned before, in just three issues he’s delivered on everything that I’d wanted out of the Lone Ranger comic. Heck, he even threw in my favorite move from western movie — the punch a guy with one hand and and catch his gun with the other movie. Classic.
