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!

The hosts are back together to talk about headcanons in Power Rangers! We revisit a topic from one of our early episodes (Episode 13) during our first year and let our listeners share their own thoughts.

What’s a headcanon? It’s a personal canon or fan theory that fills in the gaps in the show’s own continuity until it’s actually incorporated into the show’s universe.

We also discuss some major news: the passing of Robert Axelrod (Finster, Lord Zedd, among others…), Power Rangers Beast Morphers pins from Lineage Studios. #HasbroToyPic campaign, new Lightning Collection figures, NYCC plans for Boom! Studios and breaking news that happened during recording. WWE’s Power Rangers connection, new Megazord from nWay Games, the premiere of the Power Rangers 2017 movie on SYFY and Phase 2 of Renegade Game Studios “Heroes of the Grid” game.

Finally, we have a very special and exciting announcement for our fifth anniversary season. Rangers, stop everything you’re doing and listen!

In a shocking display, bounty hunter Dayne defeats the White Ranger, leaving the team without a leader! With their powers decimated and staring destruction in the face, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reach out to their former teammates for help but the Omega Rangers are facing a surprising enemy in deep space—and there’s no guarantee everyone will make it out alive.

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #43 features a main cover by Jamal Campbell (Naomi), as well as a special foil variant of the iconic Helmet Covers featuring the Blue Ranger by fan favorite artist Goñi Montes (Sandman Universe), a collectible Trading Card variant cover by Kris Anka (Runaways), an exclusive Story variant cover written by Ryan Parrott and illustrated by Dan Mora (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and more!

The MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #43 Trading Card variant cover by Anka features the Blue Ranger, Billy Cranston, with an image of the Blue Ranger in action on the front, and all his stats on the back cover, including his team name, alias, biography, and Alpha-5’s assessment.

The MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #43 Story variant cover depicts the next chapter in an eleven-part series written by writer Ryan Parrott and illustrated by acclaimed artist Dan Mora, following the enigmatic, all-knowing Emissaries as they travel space and time, unearthing never-before-seen details of the immediate aftermath of the explosive events of Shattered Grid and changing the course of MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS comic history forever.

COMIC PREVIEW – Go Go Power Rangers Issue 23

By | |
Leave a comment

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!”
