Zorro Rides Again #2

Matt Wagner's take on the classic tale of Zorro continues. Issue three follows three separate storylines. The first is Don Diego's father still trying to come to terms with knowing his son is Zorro (and assuming shame is the reason why Don Diego has kept this secret from him).

The second is the attempt by the alcade to seize the lands of Don Carlos for his own. The reasons for the alcade's interest in a very average plot of land are revealed.

And the third is a widow who has become obsessed with Zorro after he saves her but is unable to do the same for her family. How this story will intertwine with the other two will have to be seen.

Wagner weaves these stories together well, and even if this second issue is a little light on action he's laid the groundwork here for the main threads of his second Zorro series. Worth a look.
