The Lone Ranger #22

Against a blazing red-orange sunset, a white-hatted figure kneels on the dusty ground, clutching someone tightly in what reads as either grief or desperate relief — a quietly devastating image that carries enormous emotional weight. John Cassaday's cover art for this sixth and final chapter of "Resolve" trades action for raw feeling, letting the silhouetted birds circling overhead and the weathered fence posts frame the moment with spare, cinematic power. Brett Matthews and Sergio Cariello's Dynamite run has consistently brought real depth to the Lone Ranger, and this 2010 issue looks to deliver a gripping conclusion.
