ASK DYNAMITE:
Each week, or as available, we'll pull a letter and answer it here and in our companion podcast, send all letters to:

(letters@dynamiteentertainment.com) and mark them "ok to print"!
Kenneth writes: "What happened? Matthews, Cariello and Cassaday were doing such a fine job on The Lone Ranger & Tonto then along comes Paul Pope. I find it difficult picturing The Lone Ranger and/or Tonto as drawn by Paul. Story was very good but the artistry needs some modification so we can identify our heroes. Although a LR fan since the early years I shall continue but, please, make some changes so we can identify our beloved LR and Tonto.
Nothing happened there Ken, and our core creative team is hard at work on issues 12-15. Paul came in to illustrate the "fable" portion of our story, not even drawing any of the central cast… for a different take on Paul’s contribution, see the excerpt of Marc Mason’s review below!

DYNAMITE IN THE NEWS:
RED SONJA #32 (Broken Frontier): "Red Sonja has proved to be a daring title, taking the opportunity of a character’s death to more deeply explore who that character is and what she represents. If you think you know Red Sonja, think again. Ortega and others are proving that the character is more than she seems and certainly there is more to come before Sonja and Charon finish their journey."
THE LONE RANGER #11 (The Comics Waiting Room): "The upcoming re-start of a film franchise for the Ranger was in the news again recently, and while mention of this book was absent in those stories, you have to hope that intelligence will shine through and that the property will use this work as a foundation. The characters have never been this interesting or compelling, and the comic has been tailor-made for screen adaptation. If you haven’t read it, this is a pretty good place to start."
TIME WARP (Wall Street Journal): “Yet some Golden Age characters seem to be making a comeback. In the past few months two publishers, the industry giant Marvel and the small independent Dynamite, have launched titles that resurrect heroes from nearly 70 years ago and drop them into the modern world.”More at: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120848306949325167.html
