This Wednesday, September 11th, Go Go Power Rangers Issue 23 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.
As the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers struggle to save Angel Grove from the fearsome War Bunny without Jason, the Blue Emissary forces the Red Ranger to confront surprising villains from his Shattered Grid past and shocking Necessary Evil future—kicking off the events that will result in the creation of a brand new team with a secret mission to save the galaxy—the Omega Rangers!
Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:
“When the cover for this issue was first previewed a couple months back, it created quite the stir in Ranger Nation. Was Drakkon really returning? Would he suddenly become the main focus of the comic again? Thankfully, this issue puts that concern to rest.
There is no doubt that last year’s Shattered Grid event continues to impact the Power Ranger’s multiverse. What makes this issue great is the way revelations are handled for Jason, as well as the readers.
Go Go Power Rangers walks the fine line of explaining future events we see in Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers and creating a story that works as a standalone. One can easily read both series in a chronological progression, as well as reading each issue as they come out.
In this particular issue, even though we see characters introduced from the main MMPR series, there are still a few surprises that hint at the future of that comic. Teases like that can only happen if the writers have story lines planned out well in advance. Writers Ryan Parrott & Sina Grace do this in fine fashion with the last few pages of this issue.
Necessary Evil continues to deliver with intrigue, and every month I am left wanting more. Don’t miss this issue!”
