COMIC PREVIEW – Drakkon New Dawn Issue 1

By | |
Leave a comment

On Wednesday, August 19th, POWER RANGERS: Drakkon New Dawn Issue 1 will be released from Boom Studios.

After the shocking events of Power Rangers: Ranger Slayer #1, Kimberly is determined to purge the terrifying hold that Drakkon has had over her world, starting with Deadlock; the prison tower where Drakkon held all those who opposed him. But even the Ranger Slayer has no clue of the true power kept in Deadlock—and what unlocking the doors will set into motion. As Kimberly investigates the worst of Drakkon’s secrets, she sets in motion Drakkon’s final plan—one that will pit her against a fan-favorite Power Rangers villain like you’ve never seen them before!

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

“After last month’s Ranger Slayer #1 one-shot, the door was left wide open for a new writer to pick up the reigns of the continuing saga of Kimberly Hart. And I am happy to say that this feels like a more personal story for Kim than the one-shot. As readers, we hear more of her internal dialogue, her thought process of being a reluctant leader.

This first issue sets up this mini-series in a grand way – a new location to explore, a new potential ally and a new threat. There is some backstory for Lord Drakkon that might make you wonder about part of the timeline of events before “Shattered Grid”. With two more issues to go, I hope we get some clarity. How it relates to the events happening in this issue is not a top priority for the story, but it should be resolved for greater clarity in the comics universe.

Writer Anthony Burch is not a stranger to Power Rangers comics, or to Lord Drakkon – he wrote the Power Rangers RPM story in the Shattered Grid Annual. Burch also has written for BOOM! Studios before with the “Big Trouble in Little China: Old Man Jack” series. And if you’ve enjoyed the writing in League of Legends, Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and Tales from the Borderlands – you’ll enjoy some great one-liners and quips in Drakkon New Dawn.

As for the art, Simone Ragazzoni is the latest artist in a series of great artists to work on Power Rangers. The artwork feels more like a watercolor painting with Raúl Angulo’s coloring pairing well with Ragazzoni’s soft line work.

Overall, Drakkon New Dawn continues Ranger Slayer’s personal journey as she faces threats that hit closer to home. With tough calls and hard decisions to make, Ranger Slayer will be put to the test in the next two issues and I can’t wait to see how she grows.”

COMIC PREVIEW – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 52

On Wednesday, July 29th, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 52 will be released from Boom Studios.

As tensions rise between the OMEGA RANGERS and the MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS over the return of <SPOILER>, Kimberly takes it upon herself to interrogate their new prisoner. Meanwhile, a team of Rangers on a crucial intergalactic mission come face to face with the herald of a new threat heading straight for Earth!

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

“Not one, but two issues of the main comic this month? I am not complaining. After Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Issue 51 and Ranger Slayer Issue 1, BOOM! Studios has bounced back this month after delays from the pandemic.

Last month, we called this the “Aftermath” arc, but it turns out issues 51-55 will all be individually titled. That’s a nice change of pace as these last 5 issues set up the big comic split coming later this fall. In “Enemy of my Enemy”, we see the return of the Omega Rangers. The pacing of the issue is slowed down, as there is a split of focus between the Mighty Morphin team and the Omega Rangers. We even get more time with the Stone Canyon trio at Angel Grove High. I was even surprised by the return of a side character we have not seen in awhile! This slow down of pacing is what Ryan Parrott has mentioned before and it helps to take a breather after the universe ending events last arc.

Moisés Hidalgo continues to impress with his artwork. There’s a nice continuity between his style and Daniele Di Nicuolo’s art from Necessary Evil. The action is cranked up towards the end of this issue which sets the stakes for the remaining issues in this run.

Highly recommended!”

COMIC PREVIEW – Power Rangers Ranger Slayer #1

By | |
1 Comment

On Wednesday, July 22nd, POWER RANGERS RANGER SLAYER #1 will be released from Boom Studios.

The Ranger Slayer – AKA Kimberly Hart, the Pink Mighty Morphin Power Ranger from the alternate universe once ruled by Lord Dakkon – returns home and nothing is like she expected. In a world that only knows her as a villain, can Kimberly show her universe that she’s become a hero…and is that even the right thing to do? Confronted by a terrifying new version of an old enemy, and with her home in chaos, Kimberly will make a stunning choice that no Power Rangers fan can miss. This issue is also a perfect jumping on point for new readers – and sets the stage for the next Power Rangers epic!

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

“Ranger Slayer #1 is a unique one shot for Power Rangers. It continues the story of Kim, the Ranger Slayer, from her last appearance heading home through the Master Arch as seen at the end of MMPR Issue 50. Ranger Slayer #1 is not only continuing that journey for the character, but sets up the upcoming 3-issue miniseries “Drakkon New Dawn”.

For such a pivotal comic, not only does it have to bridge that gap, but also serve as a self contained story. Does it succeed? In my opinion… yes and no.

The world of the Coinless is six months out from Drakkon’s disappearance in Shattered Grid. The power vacuum has been filled by an old enemy of the Power Rangers (Scorpina – she’s on the cover…), consistent with their last appearance in the comics and even through HyperRPG’s Power Rangers Hyperforce. As always, I won’t spoil the issue in this review, but I enjoyed the interactions with the Coinless and Kim becoming a reluctant leader. That’s consistent with how she felt during Beyond the Grid and it’s nice to see here.

There are also plenty of callbacks to events in Shattered Grid, but it may get confusing for casual readers considering how that aarc ended. Even as a diehard reader of the comics, I had to go back and reread certain events to make sure I had the timeline straight. I was also slightly disappointed of the final resolution in the one shot. There’s a trend I am starting to see throughout the past year of Power Rangers comics that is becoming slightly tired, but I am willing to see where the new status quo takes readers for Drakkon New Dawn.

Dan Mora returns to Power Rangers for this one-shot, and the art is the highlight of this issue. Mora takes a standard 9-grid comic layout approach to Ranger Slayer #1 and it just works. The art reminds me of Hendry Prasetya’s early run during MMPR, which is fitting since that’s where we saw the Coinless world for the first time. The sketchy nature of the inks make the World of the Coinless feel dirty and war-torn, appropriate for the tone of the issue.

Overall, this is still a crucial issue for the upcoming mini-series. I look forward to more of Ranger Slayer’s journey in the coming months.”

The POWER RANGERS: UNLIMITED POWER Era Begins with POWER RANGERS #1 From BOOM! Studios
Two New Series. Two New Teams. A New Beginning For All Power Rangers Is Here!

LOS ANGELES, CA (July 14, 2020) – BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), today announced a brand new series, POWER RANGERS from superstar writer Ryan Parrott (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and acclaimed artist Francesco Mortarino (Firefly: The Sting), launching in conjunction with the brand new Mighty Morphin series. Two New Series. Two New Teams. The Era of UNLIMITED POWER begins HERE — and only Lord Drakkon, their greatest enemy, can save the Power Rangers!

POWER RANGERS #1 reveals a new cosmic threat that only the original Power Rangers, now known as the Omega Rangers – Jason, Trini and Zack – can hope to defeat! But their secret weapon is… the villainous Lord Drakkon?! Zordon forbids the Omega Rangers from contacting Drakkon, so if they want to save the universe then they’ll have to go rogue – and go up against their Mighty Morphin allies.

New York Times bestselling author Ryan Parrott is a comic book and screenwriter based out of Los Angeles. A graduate of Chapman University, Parrott has written for television series NBC’s Revolution and Hulu’s Chance. Parrott is also known for his work on DC Comics’ Batman: Gates of Gotham, IDW’s Star Trek comic book series, including Starfleet Academy, Boldly Go, and Manifest Destiny, Dynamite’s Death to the Army of Darkness, and his creator-owned projects Volition, Oberon, and Dead Day with Aftershock Comics. He is currently the writer for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with BOOM! Studios.

“We’ve spent several years building out the Power Rangers comic book universe and continuing the adventures of the Omega Rangers gives us a chance to fully explore it beyond the confines of the show. Not only can we add more heroes and villains but we can also bring in elements from future seasons viewed through the lens of familiar characters,” said Parrott. “It’s very exciting to explore new corners of the Power Rangers universe that fans have always imagined – and also never expected!”

Francesco Mortarino is an Italian cartoonist who graduated from the Comics School of Milano. He started working at Sergio Bonelli Editore on the comic series Nathan Never and made his US comics debut on Jupiter’s Circle for Image Comics, soon working on other projects like Dungeon & Dragons: Evil at Baldur’s Gate for IDW. Mortarino has worked on high profile BOOM! Studios series including Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Firefly: Bad Company.

“A year and a half ago, I helped illustrate Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers #33, and now I’m drawing the first issue of the new POWER RANGERS series! I’m very proud to be a part of this new era with Ryan and BOOM! Studios,” said Mortarino. “I know that many readers are waiting to see where the new team’s adventures will take them. As a fan myself, I can’t wait to show everyone exactly what I’ve been working on. It’ll blow your minds!”

Currently, Power Rangers is celebrating 27 continuous years on the air, making it one of the longest running kids’ live-action series in television history with nearly 900 episodes aired to date. Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the franchise celebrates its 27th season, “Power Rangers Beast Morphers” currently airing on Saturdays at 8 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon in the U.S.

The hit comic book series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers launched in 2016 at BOOM! Studios, outselling nearly every other comic book in its month of release. The series went on to launch numerous hit spin off series like Go Go Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The series concludes in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #55, on-sale in October, which also features the first appearance of the All New Green Ranger.

“Lord Drakkon is back but will he save the Power Rangers…or does he have a darker plan in mind?” said Dafna Pleban, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. “Introducing the Omega Rangers allowed us to reveal a huge piece of Power Rangers history – and POWER RANGERS #1 answer questions you never thought to ask!”

Fans who attend the BOOM! Studios Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Future is Now Panel on July 25, 2020 at 1:00 pm PT on the Comic-Con@Home website will get a very special preview of never-before-seen art as well as behind-the-scenes information about the series and what’s in store for readers!

(NASDAQ: HAS), today announced an exciting new series premiere, MIGHTY MORPHIN #1, from superstar writer Ryan Parrott (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and rising star artist Marco Renna, as they launch the first of two all-new series with two all-new teams in November 2020.

A new Mighty Morphin team has assembled to take on the deadliest threats to Earth – but who is the All New Green Ranger by their side?

The new Mighty Morphin team is on a collision course with an even deadlier Lord Zedd, who has a new mission and a new motivation – one that will change everything you thought you knew about our heroes! But even if the Mighty Morphin team can find a way to survive Zedd and their mysterious new enemies, they may discover the greatest threat to their future is the shocking secret of Zordon’s past! A new Mighty Morphin epic begins here, perfect for longtime fans and new readers alike.

“This is a brand new beginning for an all-new Mighty Morphin team featuring characters you know – and an all new Green Ranger.

Marco Renna is a comic artist from Italy who made his debut with Action Lab Comics. After winning the Top Cow Talent Hunt 2016, Renna became the main artist of Fathom Vol.6 and other Aspen Comics series. He has also worked on some short stories such as Sandokan for Star Comics and Muhammed Ali for Petit à Petit. He also collaborated with Dynamite Entertainment on James Bond.

“I’m really happy to have the opportunity to work on Power Rangers. I used to watch the TV show every day and being able to draw these characters is a dream come true,” said Renna. “I feel honored to be part of this fantastic team and I am excited to go into this new adventure. I really hope you enjoy my art.”

COMIC PREVIEW – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 51

1 Comment

On Wednesday, July 15th, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 51 will be released from Boom Studios.

[SPOILER] has returned…and the ripple effects send shock waves through every Power Ranger! Now the fragile alliance between the MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS and OMEGA RANGERS may be permanently…shattered.

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

“After Necessary Evil, it’s time for the Aftermath. Since last issue’s big 3 page spread reveal, I was wondering how the story would progress. Would the stakes immediately ramp up? Would the pace slow down?

Thankfully, writer Ryan Parrott has slowed down the pace of the book to deal with this new mystery. There’s a return of a character (not THAT one) that once again reminds us that any element in Parrott’s (and other writers) entire run of Power Rangers can be used. Just when I questioned “why haven’t seen this character in awhile?”, they are back. Speaking of elements coming back, just wait until you read the last few pages of this issue.

With a new arc comes a new artist, Moisés Hidalgo. In our interview with Ryan Parrott, he said that Moisés was “fantastic”. And he IS, his art style is very detailed with expressive characters and dynamic action scenes. During the battle in this issue, the layouts also change to match the movement of the action. And just when you think you’ve seen every version of the morphing sequence, Moisés makes his stand out.

Overall, I enjoyed this first issue in the Aftermath arc. The return to basics fight in this issue was a welcome change of pace from the “end of the universe” escalation from Necessary Evil. Whatever happens in “Aftermath”, we know there is a big shakeup coming soon for the comics. Again, I am here for this crazy entertaining ride.”
