The Lone Ranger #14

Dynamite's The Lone Ranger #14 opens with a tense, moonlit cover that puts a different kind of hero front and center — a young woman armed with a rifle crouches in a darkened doorway, a saloon visible behind her beneath a full moon, while a shadowy figure looms at the upper right and a downed body lies at her feet. The atmosphere is all moody shadow and cool blues cutting against deep crimson, giving this 2013 issue a striking noir-Western edge. If this cover is any indication, the series continues to find compelling corners of the frontier beyond its masked title hero.
