COMIC REVIEW – MIGHTY MORPHIN Issue 4

By | |
1 Comment

On Wednesday, February 10th, Mighty Morphin Issue 4 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown earlier this week.

The UNLIMITED POWER era continues with the answer to the question everyone’s asking – Who Is The New Green Ranger? And what is their shocking connection to the Mighty Morphin team? It’s the last page shocker that no fan can miss!

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

“This is it. The issue everyone has been waiting for. Whether you were spoiled by other sites of the identity of the New Green Ranger or have been patiently (or not so) waiting, this issue is still a must read. Of course we won’t spoil the surprise, but this isn’t the only reveal in this issue…

From the previews below, we continue to get a glimpse into the life of Zordon of Eltar when he was younger.  Personally, I love this bit of lore dive into Zordon’s past and his emergence as a reluctant Guardian of Eltar. Much like the teenagers he will recruit ten thousand years later, Zordon does not see the potential in himself and it’s up to his mentor Supreme Guardian Zophram to guide him. Meanwhile, the Power Rangers are in a tough spot as Lord Zedd’s Putty Prime overwhelms the Thunder Megazord.

What happens in the rest of the issue will lead to some big revelations for both the Power Rangers themselves and readers. With so many developments happening, I expect future issues to deliver the consequences of past relationships to reward long term readers. If you haven’t participated in the now finished Kickstarter for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers hardcover collection, I highly suggest that newer readers pick up the softcover collections for both MMPR and Go Go Power Rangers. 

Writer Ryan Parrott will definitely be drawing from past storylines and relationships between all of the Rangers. The Boom Studios Power Rangers universe has its own deep mythology five years into the comics. There is a lot to mine from, and right now Parrott is pulling from multiple story lines. Artist Marco Renna is still doing an amazing job with this book. I enjoy the way he adds details to the backgrounds and makes the action pop with dynamic perspective changes. Walter Baiamonte continues to rock as colorist, with most of the issue filled with vibrant colors from the daytime setting. Letterer Ed Dukeshire also is consistent with the entire line of Power Rangers comics and adds punch to big reveals. 

Like I said, the reveal of the Green Ranger may not surprise everyone, but readers should focus on what this means for the future of these characters and their relationships. Once the Dragonzord is out of the bag, it can never be put back…”

COMIC PREVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 3

By | |
Leave a comment

On Wednesday, January 20th, Power Rangers Issue 3 will be released from Boom Studios.

POWER RANGERS #3 – Two New Series. Two New Teams. The UNLIMITED POWER ERA continues as Drakkon is the key to the Power Rangers‘ new mission. But to defeat the new cosmic threat, the new Power Rangers team – Jason, Trini, Zack and new members – has put their faith in their greatest enemy. And the only way they may be able to save the universe is by giving Drakkon exactly what he wants…

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

“Continuing the story from the previous issue, the Rangers must formulate and execute a plan to rid the Spectrum II of the HORRID. The Horrid, for lack of a better term, are space vampires. But with a twist, they are in a state of inter-dimensional phase shifting that makes some physical attacks impossible.

If this sounds like a bunch of Star Trek-like technobabble, you’d be right – Ryan Parrott previously wrote Star Trek comics. Here, it feels natural with the Omega Rangers and their deep space mission. Xi gets some much needed focus in this issue, bringing the Rangers together and helping put the plan into motion. If you were worried about the high emotions brewing these last few issues, don’t worry. At least by the end of this issue, the tension has died down between the Rangers. 

There are a couple standout moments in this issue that we won’t spoil, but one is a direct homage and mirrors a key event in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 25. It appears some things may never change…

Writer Ryan Parrott successfully delivers a tight 2-issue mini-arc that leaves the door open for this enemy to come back, if they choose to revisit them. The next couple of issues seem to be leaning towards exploring what happened with Drakkon many issues earlier from the end of Shattered Grid and how he escaped his prison. How Drakkon will work with the team, or not, to deal with the threat of the Empyreals remains to be seen. Hopefully, the next issues start dealing with that threat more directly. I hope that we see them make an appearance soon. Otherwise, their threat might start to feel diminished as the months go on.

As always, artist Francesco Mortarino continues his style from the later run of Go Go Power Rangers. He is adapting to a ship-based story with tight closeups of characters and a claustrophobic feeling between panels. This only adds to the feeling of tension in the issue. Colorist Raúl Angulo has a wonderful dark palette, with a lot of purples, reds and rich blacks. Combined, Francesco and Raúl complete the atmosphere set in Ryan Parrott’s story. 

Overall, Power Rangers Issue 3 delivers a successful conclusion to this first mini-arc format. How this will play into the ongoing threat of the Empyreals remains to be seen.”

COMIC PREVIEW – MIGHTY MORPHIN Issue 3

Leave a comment

On Wednesday, January 13th, Mighty Morphin Issue 3 will be released from Boom Studios.

Two New Series. Two New Teams. The UNLIMITED POWER ERA continues with a shocking betrayal by a member of the Mighty Morphin team… but WHY? With the Mighty Morphin team in disarray, Lord Zedd makes his deadliest attack yet – and no one is ready for what he’s got planned!

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

“The newest issue of Mighty Morphin starts with a flashback to over ten thousand years ago. As seen in the preview below, Zordan is with Zartus, another of the Guardians of Eltar.

I really like this scene because it reminds me of another favorite franchise, Star Trek. In this time, the Guardians are like the Federation. Before new worlds can be under their care or brought into the fold, they are observed before First Contact. The ‘supervision’ they are conducting is set before a reveal, which will make the world ‘complicated’ according to Zartus.

This sets up an interesting parallel to what we know of another Eltarian introduced two issues ago, Candice. She is on her own Supervision of Earth, going undercover much like Zordon and Zartus millennia ago. Is the mysterious figure she was talking to Zartus? We know he doesn’t become Supreme Guardian. That honor went to Zophram in last month’s flashback.

And that was all from the preview! The rest of the issue picks up right where the action ended in the cliffhanger last issue, with the teens fighting the new Chaos Putties. Without spoiling the rest of the issue, there are plotlines that start coming to a head in interesting ways. This sets up what is sure to be an explosive fourth issue, where supposedly the identity of the new Green Ranger is confirmed.

Writer Ryan Parrott continues to weave intrigue in the present with lore building of the past. Leaning on Zordon’s past as the connective tissue for this narrative, is heartbreaking. Seeing the optimism of his youth and wanting to lead a simple life, goes against everything we know of Zordon’s future. This is very much Zordon’s arc, even more so than it is about the new Green Ranger.

Artist Marco Renna continues to impress with super detailed backgrounds, characters and high kicking action. Seriously, Billy has MOVES in this issue.

Overall, Mighty Morphin Issue 3 is a fast paced issue that balances on the ground action with continued drama coming to a breaking point on a few different fronts.”

COMIC PREVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 2

1 Comment

On Wednesday, December 16th, Power Rangers Issue 2 will be released from Boom Studios.

POWER RANGERS #2 – Two New Series. Two New Teams. The UNLIMITED POWER ERA continues as the Power Rangers betray Zordon! A new cosmic threat is here and the all-new Power Rangers team will put it all on the line to stop it, even if it means trusting their mortal enemy Lord Drakkon. But as the new threat launches its first offensive against the Power Rangers, the question remains – will Drakkon act as friend or foe? After all, Drakkon always has a plan…

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

“Do you remember the Power Rangers Lost Galaxy episode, ‘The Rescue Mission’? The one on a derelict ship that felt like the movie ‘Alien’ and less like a Power Rangers episode? Power Rangers Issue 2 feels exactly like that.

From the preview pages, you know something big is going down with Drakkon narrating and Jason seemingly in a pretty dire situation. I love stories that tease a future event and we see the actions leading up to it. The tension in this issue is very much like a horror movie. The story in this issue is NOT wrapped up by the end and is leading into a two-issue mini arc, both of which writer Ryan Parrott certainly teased in our last interview with him.

Each member of the Omega Rangers get their focus in this issue, including Drakkon, which feels more balanced than previous issues. This is another advantage of splitting the series, readers enjoy more focused interactions and story. And on the other side, writer Ryan Parrott is able to focus on Drakkon’s manipulations and their effects on the Omegas.

Artist Francesco Mortarino delivers with setting the feeling of a horror-based movie. With close-up shots, cramped quarters and extreme angles, the anxiety is palpable. This is enhanced with colors by Raúl Angulo using dark tones, contrasting shadows and a cooler color scheme.

With the Omegas going deeper into space as outlaws, issue two already feels like a rocky road for the team and Drakkon isn’t helping matters. I was already excited for this issue, and after reading it those feelings have already come back. There’s a cliffhanger, but I’m glad it’s only a month’s wait instead of two issues!”
