The Lone Ranger #2

lone-ranger-vol-2-2-coverThe second issue of Dynamite Entertainment’s new Lone Ranger series is a little better than the first but it still lacks the fun you’d like in a title centered around the masked man and his Indian companion. Once again the main story has to do with a character other than the Lone Ranger or Tonto, in this case an infamous lawman at the end of his career looking for one more showdown.

The dialogue by writer Ande Parks feels a little more natural than the series first issue. I don’t know that I’m yet sold on the art of Esteve Polls, but if the comic is going to do these mini faux historical tales, heavy on narration and light on action, it might work well enough.

It’s still a far cry from Dynamite’s first Lone Ranger series from writer Brett Matthews and artist Sergio Cariello but the second issue is enough of an improvement I’ll probably pick at least one more issue to see where the Lone Ranger and Tonto go from here. For fans.

Red Hood and the Outlaws #5

red-hood-and-the-outlaws-5-coverThe latest issue of Red Hood and the Outlaws gives us not one but two battle scenes as the Red Hood battles the Untitled and Arsenal and Starfire take down the crocodile-Man-Bat-thing known as Crux. It’s not a great story, and (as has been the case for this comic) some of the writing may illicit unplanned groans or giggles from the reader, but (unlike a vast majority of the New 52) it is fun.

This issue puts Jason Todd on a path. It’s a murderous path to be sure, but at least we now know where writer Scott Lobdell is planning to take the Red Hood and the rest of the team. I’m confused by the blood blades and the reasoning why Starfire didn’t loose her powers, but let’s be honest – logic has never been this comic’s strong suit.

Even though I’ve stopped reading many of the New 52 titles I’m going to stay with Red Hood and the Outlaws for at least awhile longer. It’s never quite what I expect, and its not the direction I would take the characters, but I’m still intrigued by what Lobdell has planned for this motley crew he’s assembled. Worth a look.
