Lone

Written by Stuart Moore
Art by Jerome Opeña, Alberto Ponticelli and John Wycough

This is an odd little project. It reads like an early version of Fear Agent, with its curmudgeonly Texan protagonist, it's strange assortment of colourful villains, and its pastiche of science-fiction tropes. Adding to this, early Opeña looks a great deal like Tony Moore.

Lone is a scientifically-modified relic of military experimentation, who lives in the post-nuclear, radioactive Western Wasteland. He is hired by a pair of gun-toting siblings to help rid their town of zombies, and is mostly interested in helping out because of the belief that a Gunfather, a strange green being, might be in residence. It seems Lone has history with them.

Also included in the book are a couple of short stories, one featuring art by Alberto Ponticelli. These both have a 'Tales of the Fear Agent' feel to them, and are good reads.

This comic exemplifies my feelings about Stuart Moore. It's a good comic, but doesn't really stand out in any particular way.
