Huh, interesting.... in an upcoming 5-issue mini-series
ZORRO and
THE LONE RANGER have a crossover, with Zorro
DYING and The Lone Ranger going on quest for
Revenge/Justice (your pick).
The solicit reads: "
One of comicdom's first and greatest heroes, Zorro, will have fallen in battle, sacrificing his life to save his people. Upon learning of this tragedy, it falls unto the future hero of the Wild West, The Lone Ranger, to avenge the death!"
and writer
Andy Parks says, "
This series isn't just about the death of Zorro, though. It's about the enormous legacy that he leaves behind. When a hero dies, he leaves behind a legion of people that have been touched by his deeds. In this case, Zorro's legacy has touched a young Lone Ranger. Unfortunately, the bad guys that have ended Zorro's life are a small but powerful army who plan on continuing to victimize the Native Americans Zorro was trying to help. Zorro's legacy, even as embodied by The Lone Ranger, may not be enough to defeat this army of renegade Civil War bushwhackers."
No
interior artist has been named yet, but I'd love it if
John Cassaday was the one (highly doubtful).
"DEATH OF ZORRO" debuts in
March 2011, from
Dynamite Entertainment. I'll be checking it out... but probably in a collected format.
