COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 12

By | |
Leave a comment

On Wednesday, October 13th, Power Rangers Issue 12 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown last week.

As the Empyreals carry out their final task before the war is fully underway, the Rangers fight to survive the aftermath of their destruction on an alien planet. But will they be able to save both the universe and themselves from their devastating might? Or will they find themselves stranded without hope of survival?

Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:

“Abandoned on an alien world, the Omega Rangers are in a hopeless situation.  In Power Rangers issue 12, the stakes are high after the destruction of the Yellow Emissary, the last Emissary. With Drakkon fully powered again and Xi being killed, what hope do the Omega Rangers have? Thankfully, this issue takes the time not only in answering some long standing questions from all the way back in MMPR 50, but also dealing with more immediate character arcs.

This is a more introspective issue with the Omega Rangers relying on each other to survive. They get frustrated at themselves and the situation, but they also laugh and cry together. Writer Ryan Parrott does a great job solidifying the friendship between Jason, Zack and Trini. While their friendship was already strong, the trials faced in this issue bringing them even closer together as teammates.

Artist Francesco Mortarino continues his stellar work on the series, turning what could’ve been a monotonous landscape of a dying planet into almost another character itself. Pairing that with colors from Raúl Angulo and this issue is vibrant, exploding with colors and some great texture in the line work.

With the end of the Unlimited Power arc, next month brings the Eltarian War. This past year long arc has set a lot of pieces on the board… let the games begin.”

COMIC REVIEW – Mighty Morphin Issue 12

By | |
Leave a comment

On Wednesday, October 6th, Mighty Morphin Issue 12 will be released from Boom Studios. An exclusive first look of this issue was shown last month.

Rescued by the Power Rangers, Candice reveals there’s a deeper threat to Earth than previously realized! The revelation will force Zordon to grapple with his ancient past and for the sake of Earth, make a plea to a potential ally no one expects. But Tommy takes matters into his own hands which leads him to a collision course with his former allies!

Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:

“For one year, it’s all been building towards this moment. Unlimited Power draws to a close to make room for next month’s arc – The Eltarian War. The start of this issue actually begins in the middle of issue 11, right after Zartus’ conversation with Tommy. If you were confused about Zelya’s sudden appearance, this issue clears up that part of the timeline. I actually enjoy what writer Ryan Parrott has been doing the last few issues by subverting expectations and changing the way the story unfolds to keep readers on their toes. 

There is a lot to unpack this issue, with conversations between multiple characters that have long been overdue. It’s one of the aspects of the comics that I love, realistic personal stakes and feelings. After all, the Power Rangers are teenagers; they’ve had to grow up faster than most in their class with the tremendous responsibility they have as Rangers. But also, this arc has been about the past for Zordon and Zedd and how it affects the present in this building conflict. Decisions that are thousands of years old are still shaping the fate of the universe.

All of this leads to a spectacular cliffhanger, with one of the best lines in the series of the comics. Kudos to Ryan Parrott for a satisfying lead up to the next arc. But Ryan is not alone, with artist Marco Renna continuing to produce some great art for Mighty Morphin. Juggling so many set pieces and characters is no small feat, but he gives them all the attention they deserve. Walter Baiamonte’s colors really pop in this issue, with each setting and conversation using a different color theme. Ed Dukeshire is not praised enough for his lettering work in this series. There are so many unique effects, my favorite in this issue being the “SCHWWT” towards the end.

I can’t recommend this issue enough. While this arc has felt like it has dragged on at times, it’s the careful build up that really makes issues like this impactful.”
