 Review of

The Lone Ranger Snake of Iron, Volume 1, issue 2 comic

Five out of five stars

The faith Tonto has in his horse

 The story opens with Miss Lily Travers, reporter for the Chicago Examiner, being accosted by a gang of outlaws while she is by her evening campfire. They tie her up and have nefarious plans for her before they make a ransom demand. Tonto is on a derailed train that is under attack by a Native American war party. Knowing that their situation is hopeless, Tonto releases his horse and gives it instructions to find the Lone Ranger and bring him back as a rescue party.

 The two storyline threads run separately throughout the comic, the Lone Ranger rescues Miss Travers and meets with a U. S. Army patrol. Tonto speaks to a Native American boy on the train and discovers that he his not who his white male handler claims he is. The ending cliffhanger is that the Kiowa war party is about to launch a major assault on the train.

 While the reader understands why the Lone Ranger is out and about at all times, without reading the previous issue, the reader will not know why Tonto is on the train. That is significant, because he appears to have no connection to the Native American boy or any of the other white people on the train. However, the context had been established for what certainly has the potential for a great story.
