Back in the saddle to once more dish out the western dirt on the crooks, it's the new old tale of that masked man. No Walker here in this blood of a Texas Ranger named John Reid. There is, however, plenty of it in the first issue, an origin refresher for those on the who and the why of the rider upon Silver and friend of Tonto.

Dynamite Entertainment, Brett Matthews, John Cassaday and Sergio Cariello with Dean White present the comic book event of 2006 - The Lone Ranger - rides again!

Written by Brett ("Firefly") Matthews and art directed by John ("Astonishing X-Men") Cassaday - who also provide each "dynamite" cover (that's right fans - Mr. Astonishing X-Men and Planetary is the single cover artist, THE LONE RANGER #1 also features veteran illustrator Sergio Cariello and colorist Dean ("Punisher") White.

The Lone Ranger #1 is an unrelenting tale of the West. A young man searches for revenge, only to find justice... and that he's something greater than he ever thought he could be.

Over in DC, it's an eight part Mystery In Space with Jim Starlin, Shane Davis, Matt Banning and Al Milgrom on the flight deck. Spanning wild regions of space, it begs and answers the question of "Who is the new Captain Comet?"

Thirty years on and Harvey Pekar returns with a new four-part American Splendour from Vertigo Comics. With art by Dean Haspiel, Ty Templeton, Hilary Barta, Greg Budgett and Gary Dumm, Glenn Fabry to help tell the stories, do things get bitter or better with age?

Clear waters in a Bad Moon Rising Special from Avatar Press. Brian Pulido and Wellington Alves work this tale of supernatural hack slash horror with what might be a hint of underlying romance. That could be well off the mark of course.

Speaking of Avatar Press and horror, Mike Wolfer handles the Escape of the Living Dead Fearbook.

Michael Avon Oeming and Ivan Brandon hit The Cross Bronx at Image Comics. It's New York on highs and lows and when an assassin guns down the bottom tier gang bangers, Detective Ortiz checks in with comatose girl for answers.

Peter David and Pascal Alixe return to Neil Gaiman's pocket (un)reality in Marvel 1602: Fantastick Four. Told in five, Doom returns, but for reason which remain unclear.

 

Westerns are hardly the era for people of such stunning beauty. Staggered more like it. And well over the falling down of a stair well a few times over for good measure. And then again dragged by the tail hairs of the horses.

Kind of harsh reality of the morning mirror enough to send some into breaking out with the justice.

The saga of Jonah Hex -- the mysterious bounty hunter and thinking man's killer -- returns to the DCU in an all-new series penned by Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti (HAWKMAN) with amazing art by Luke Ross (GREEN LANTERN; Samurai) and a debut-issue cover by fan-favorite Frank Quitely (WE3, BITE CLUB)!

Saddle up and ride shotgun with the original bad man of the Wild West during an age of plunder, greed and lawlessness.

When a millionaire's only son is kidnapped, Hex is called on to track down and recover the boy. But a simple missing person case turns into a hunt for vengeance as Hex unleashes his special brand of justice on the unsuspecting culprits.

Westerns. The brand of justice that's personal. Not just this time, but all the time. And with an almighty fever about it that makes Sheriff Wydell of The Devil's Rejects seem relatively tame in comparison.
