COMIC REVIEW – Mighty Morphin Issue 8

By | |
Leave a comment

On Wednesday, June 9th, Mighty Morphin Issue 8 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown last week.

Will the Power Rangers be able to save Angel Grove from Lord Zedd and his Putty Primes? With Tommy’s life on the line, the rest of the team will have to rely on new allies with their own agenda. Meanwhile, past and present collide as another player finally reveals themselves and makes their move…

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

“As we inch closer to Mighty Morphin Issue 10 and the return of Dan Mora with a Zordon focused story, more lore regarding the Zeo Crystal is shown in the first few pages of Mighty Morphin issue 8. At least… some Eltarian myths surrounding the crystal. Is Zeon in the story one of the original Morphin Masters? If so, it’s a great way to tie in the comics and what we’ve seen so far from Power Rangers Dino Fury. 

Aside from that, the preview continues in the present with Tommy squaring off against the Megazord sized Putty Primes. With some help from Aisha, the issue has an explosive start. The situation flips pretty drastically back and forth for the rest of the issue. And while we won’t spoil anything, I really hope that we get some non-Ranger character beats from the fallout of this issue. In the past few issues, there have been a couple time skips that I think take away from the characters truly processing some of the events going on. I hope we get that in the next issue, before the Zordon standalone in Issue 10.

Writer Ryan Parrott really delivered by making Aisha a big part of this issue early on and has been doing a great job in fleshing out the Yellow Rangers for both series. Artist Marco Renna excels with the Zord battles and panel layouts. There’s also some unique panels with the fight scenes in this issue, particularly with Rocky fighting, that I found visually appealing. 

Overall, Issue 8 ups the stakes in another power move from Zedd and continues to build for the event issue coming up. Definitely looking forward to see what happens next!”

COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 7

By | |
Leave a comment

On Wednesday, May 19th, Power Rangers Issue 7 will be released from Boom Studios. Our exclusive first look of this issue was shown last week.

POWER RANGERS #7 – The Omega Rangers and Drakkon are on the run in space, but they must find new allies if they want to defeat the Empyreals. But that means trusting someone they’re not sure is friend or foe if they are to save the universe. And then… there’s Drakkon.

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

“How much is the cost of life? How far will the Omega Rangers go to protect beings from the Empyreals? While this issue of Power Rangers starts off with a seemingly fun game, the rest of the issue has serious implications for the rest of the current arc which ties in nicely with the Mighty Morphin series. 

The Omega Rangers are in a tough position in this story after the discovery of the Empyreals next targeted planet. When the Omega Rangers have two mentor-type characters telling them that saving this planet might be a waste of time, they carry on because doing nothing means the death of many people. What follows is the start of another mini-arc in the journey of the Omega Rangers. We get some much needed updates in the issue, including the answer to a question many fans have been asking for since the end of Necessary Evil.

Writer Ryan Parrott continues to bring in elements and storylines from as far back as the first issues of Go Go Power Rangers. After 5 years of stories, this is rewarding for long time readers without being cumbersome for newer readers. But I would highly recommend newer readers to go back and catch up for a deeper understanding. Artist Francesco Mortarino delivers with crowded cityscapes, varied alien species and detailed line work that is highlighted by the vibrant colors of Raúl Angulo.

With elements of the Mighty Morphin storyline crossing over into this issue, I feel it’s only a matter of time before we get either another crossover with the two teams, or a large scale event that will impact both series.”

COMIC REVIEW – Mighty Morphin Issue 7

By | |
Leave a comment

On Wednesday, May 12th, Mighty Morphin Issue 7 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown earlier this week.

It’s The New Mighty Morphin Team versus…The New Green Ranger! But whoever’s left standing will have to deal with Lord Zedd’s shocking machinations. And his even more surprising ally.

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

“This month, the mysteries deepen as the Power Rangers enter the shield surrounding Angel Grove and discover what Lord Zedd has done to the city. From the preview pages, it’s definitely a strange turn of events. This almost feels like a twist on ‘Green with Evil’, but if the Green Ranger wasn’t evil… but had a different viewpoint. 

As always with our spoiler free reviews we won’t give away what happens throughout the story, but it wasn’t as shocking as the solicitation would have you believe. Avid readers can certainly guess who is partnering up with Zedd, and I am more curious how far this character will go to ‘protect’ people. Is this all part of a master plan or an opportunistic power move?

Lord Zedd isn’t the only one to gain an ally this week, with Zordon getting some additional help himself. With some much needed intel, the stories are once again connecting to the sister book, Power Rangers. A war is brewing up and I wonder if we are going to get another large team up event at some point in the future. 

Writer Ryan Parrott continues to deliver with solid dialogue and some snappy puns. Artist Marco Renna really pushes himself this issue with detailed city shots of Angel Grove, solid action sequences and unique perspectives on panels that give a sense of scale later in the issue.

I’m ready for the next one!”
