I'm not sure I like the new look of the Lone Ranger. What kind of value of the Masked Man is it to set out to kill the man responsible? Where does this uneasy relationship with Tonto come from?

I guess I should have expected a darker character in today's society. But I have a feeling the original creators wouldn't like what they see. And I didn't know the Lone Ranger was abused as a kid...

That middle picture (red shirt) is very weird, he has ... woman like breasts?? That doesn't look like a man's chest.

Huh. I didn't notice that before. Looks like the frame is a bit chunkey too.

I'm sure the artist just meant to imply muscle.

Eh, we'll have to wait and see. That image you posted is from the point in the story where the Rangers are ambushed and well before the man puts on the mask.

As I recall, the LR (in the original pulp novels) set out to kill those responsible, too, but decided it was better to turn them in instead - at the last minute. We'll see. I dunno about the child abuse, though...

Relax it's a good read. The LR originally wore a red shirt...before Clayton Moore did the tv show. I saw the comic and it is more of an adult..and Reid's father cautions him about killing ...
