Master Vile and the Metallic Armor

It’s time to Ranger Up with @trekkieb47 @secretrangerfan & @ZachLaVoy as they talk all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

In our second Extra Episode of the month, brought to you by our supporters on Patreon, Eric and Zach get spooky for Halloween with Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers “Master Vile and the Metallic Armor”.

Does this multi-part episode hold up after 24 years? Do shiny new suits really make the Ranger? Is the Blue Globbor the most disgusting monster of the entire franchise? We explore the answers to these questions as well as the return of Robo Goat, bad Netflix subtitles and “kiyaing”.

Additionally, we cover the latest news including Wave 3 and 4 of Hasbro’s Lightning Collection, Power Rangers at Europe and U.K. conventions and some shout outs to a few listeners.

Globbors are gross.

COMIC PREVIEW – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 44

Leave a comment

This Wednesday, October 30th, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 44 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

NECESSARY EVIL continues as the Omega Rangers return to Earth and meet the Power Rangers for the first time! But if they want to defeat Lord Zedd together, Jason, Trini and Zack will have to keep their identities a secret from their friends! Features the first appearance of the Omega Ranger Zords!

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

“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 44 kicks into high gear when the Omega Rangers come to the rescue of the Power Rangers of Earth. The tables are quickly turned on Dayne in one of the most intense Zord sequences of the comic to date.

While we don’t have a concrete end time for the conclusion of this arc, it seems we are starting to reach the climax of Necessary Evil. With the Omega Rangers meeting the Earth team for the first time, the mystery still remains on their identities. Tensions arise on both Ranger Teams that will have long lasting impacts for the rest of the arc.

The writing is, as always, tight from Ryan Parrott with more snappy dialogue and in-jokes. The art is very kinetic and detailed, as always, and we can’t get enough of Daniele Di Nicuolo’s style. Particularly in this issue, Walter Baiamonte’s colors shine… literally with brilliant lens flares on Earth to the dark and cooler tones of space and the moon.

The conclusion sets up a battle that, personally, I have been waiting for.”
