Dynamite stated “The news has exceeded all of our expectations! We thank Brett, Sergio, Dean, and John, and especially thank the retailers and fans who supported the comic, and helped make it successful! We can honestly say, ‘keep reading, the best is yet to come!’”
Writer Brett Matthews added: "An email in my inbox with 'sell out' in the subject line and it's a good thing? Sweet. I'm glad so many people are getting introduced to or re-acquainted with The Lone Ranger, and hope they love the character as much as we do. Or less, if that would be creepy."
John Cassaday’s reaction to the news: "I'm proud of everyone involved, including and especially the folks at Dynamite for taking a chance on this legendary character and treating it with such respect. I'm terribly happy to be a part of it. This is merely the start."
Upon hearing the news, Colorist Dean White exclaimed: "This is great news for Nick and all the folks over at Dynamite who believed in the series and never settled for second best. Glad to be part of such a great team."
In addition to the sell-out, second printing and Cassaday appearance, the reviews for those that have picked up the Lone Ranger have been glowing and have covered the gamut from the old, the new and everything in-between:
The Lone Ranger #1 is a powerful tale of the West and begins the origins of the Lone Ranger in a way never before presented. A young man searches for revenge, only to find justice... and that he's something greater than he ever thought he could be. Evoking shades of such powerful Westerns as Unforgiven, the tone of such powerful modern interpretations of the West as Deadwood, and written in the most reverential way, this is the must-read comic of 2006.
Written by Brett (Firefly) Matthews and art directed by John (Astonishing X-Men) Cassaday (who also provides the Dynamite covers for The Lone Ranger series), the series also features veteran illustrator Sergio (The Lone Ranger) Cariello and colorist Dean (Punisher) White.
More information on the second printing will be forthcoming, check with your local retailer for more information and fans should look for Lone Ranger #2 (AUG063193) in stores in October and Lone Ranger #3 (SEP063219) scheduled to ship in November!
