COMIC PREVIEW – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 47

Leave a comment

On Wednesday, January 22nd, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 47 will be released from Boom Studios.  A couple weeks ago we posted a first look of this issue, now take a full look at the finished preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

NECESSARY EVIL CONTINUES! After a shocking betrayal, the Omega Rangers are forced to return to earth—and to reveal their identities to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. But can either team of Power Rangers survive the truth?

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

“The war has begun and the march to the endgame of this chapter of Power Rangers is in full swing. With the revelation of the identity of the Omega Rangers, tensions are at their boiling point on both sides. And it’s justified, what would you do if a group of your friends have lied to you about what they were up to for months? If you felt like a temporary replacement? If a secret you struggled to keep is now affecting your friendships? This dramatic tension has been building from the start of Necessary Evil and now the real test of the Rangers’ friendship begins. 

Writer Ryan Parrott has done a fantastic job of balancing this tension with the action of this issue. There are plenty of great character moments between characters that haven’t been together in awhile. Trini particularly stands out in this issue, trying to keep the peace between her friends and the Stone Canyon trio. 

As for the artwork, artist Daniele di Nicuolo continues to capture the emotions of all of the characters in spectacular fashion. One of the greatest panels is in the preview below with the morphing sequence. It always amazes me how different artists tackle morphing in different layouts, especially with the colors on opposite sides of the panel from colorist Walter Baiamonte. 

We are nearing the end of this almost year long arc and it will be very interesting to see where things stand at the end.”

Boom! Studios

At the end of the second issue of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the last page revealed a new threat for both teams. According to Ryan Parrott, in our interview with him last month, this page was part of his initial pitch for the mini-series.

While the last page gave us a tease, last week Boom! Studios sent out a press release of new design’s full appearance debuting in Issue 3 on sale February 5, 2020.

COMIC PREVIEW – Go Go Power Rangers 27

By | |
2 Comments

This week (January 15th) Boom Studios releases Go Go Power Rangers Issue 27, the first of two GGPR issues coming out this month (Issue 28 releases on January 29th) and the second week of six straight weeks of Power Rangers comics.

NECESSARY EVIL CONTINUES! Trini and Zack meet the one person who can make them OMEGA RANGERS, but are warned about the consequences of joining Jason. At the Tower of Light, Tommy faces off against Lord Zedd, but without his powers will he be strong enough to stop him?

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

“While there are still some surprises in this issue, almost half the book is filling in the gaps and retelling part of White Light. I appreciate when the comics tie into show continuity, but this issue did not make as strong an impact as past issues. Part of the reason for that is this issue feels like a winding down of the Necessary Evil story, and maybe Go Go Power Rangers as a whole. At this point, the mainline comic has informed enough about the arc to create a checklist of what now needs to happen in GGPR.

With events the events of Go Go Power Rangers moving ever closer to the start of Necessary Evil in Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Issue 40, one has to wonder where the story will go when Necessary Evil concludes. As we approach milestone issues like GGPR 30 and MMPR 50 this year, the possibilities are wide open for dramatic shifts in story lines.

For Go Go Power Rangers it might be the opportunity to completely change direction. An anthology series perhaps? Or is there a possibility of this series ending? I hope not, because was Go Go does best is a take a more personal look into the Rangers’ lives and lately, make a stronger connection to events in the main comic.

Overall, in this issue, the dialogue and artwork continue to be the same great standard we’ve had throughout the run. In two weeks, we take a break from the main story and focus on Rita. What will her role in Necessary Evil be when she is still stuck in a space dumpster? We are definitely looking forward to that answer!”
