First off, I didn't realise that The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet were related. Turns out they are.
When I picked up this title I was imagining some sort of time travel storyline. I didn't expect the Lone Ranger to be an old man. However there was enough flashbacks to get a sense of him in his prime.
I enjoyed the artwork and the action sequences. The storyline while simplistic seemed to reflect a lot of what is happening in politics today. In fact TLR makes a comment about 'jews, people of colour and homosexuals being persecuted', and while I agree with the sentiment it it's unlikely to be something that would have been said in 1936/7, what with homosexuality being against the law. Apart from this slip the history seemed to be pretty much on the money.
Where the story fell down for me is that it seems to get booked down under its own backstory and on occasion took itself too seriously.
Overall an interesting title. ( )

Full disclosure on the LibraryThing Radio Hour: this book was brought to me by our good friends at NetGalley in return for an honest review

Apart from watching the former's film and reading the latter's Wikipedia entry, I didn't know much about either the Lone Ranger or Green Hornet before reading this crossover. Perhaps that's why I didn't really enjoy it.

It's possible, of course, to write a piece of fan service that also entertains new readers, but Lone Ranger/Green Hornet seemed weighed down by its own sense of significance.

Po-faced when it needed to be fun, on-the-nose when it needed to be joshing, awkward when it needed to be humorous. "Why not call it your 'Batmobile'?" "Because that sounds ridiculous!" Be still my aching sides.

As I say, it's quite possible I don't have the investment you need to get your return from this one. I'm vaguely aware copyright entanglements have kept these two relatives apart for a good many years, and long-term fans may share the comic's sense of moment.

All I can say is that it's not much fun for a newbie. Hey-ho Silver, anyway... ( )
