Surprised there's not more discussion about this on here. The Lone Ranger's descendant is getting a huge roll-out in 2010 with not one, but three series coming. In addition to the Kevin Smith penned series, there will be a Year One series by Matt Wagner (Zorro) and Aaron Campbell, plus a series by Lone Ranger writer Brett Matthews. The question, will these form one continuity, or will there be alternate versions of the character? One continuity would make it a generational saga (which would technically include the Lone Ranger series) like Now Comics did in the 90s, which I thought was very cool. The other big question would be - to what extent can the Hornet's famous ancestor be referenced? Interesting that Matthews will get to do a take on the character. Would that make him the first writer since the radio days to get to work on both characters?
