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.”
