COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 6

By | |
Leave a comment

On Wednesday, April 21st, Power Rangers Issue 6 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown yesterday.

POWER RANGERS #6 – The New Power Rangers have formed an uneasy alliance with Lord Drakkon…but now must trust Astronema and Ecliptor in order to survive. But do the would-be Princess of Evil and her mentor have something else planned for their new allies?

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

“Who loves a good ol’ fashioned train heist? In keeping with the Wild West theme of the Planet Onyx, that’s exactly what you get in the newest issue of Power Rangers!

From the preview pages, Artist Simone Ragazzoni and colorist Igot Monti return from Power Rangers Unlimited: Heir to Darkness to sum up the backstory of Astronema from that issue. This is framed as the story Ecliptor is describing to Trini from those events as well as connecting to Power Rangers In Space.

This was a fantastic set up for readers who may have missed that issue, but we are shown ‘the truth’ in the artwork. Astronema’s parents weren’t killed by Power Rangers, but the forces of Dark Specter. And the kids orphaned by these attacks are processed into his ever expanding army. Seriously… everyone needs to read ‘Heir to Darkness’.

While we won’t spoil the rest of the issue in this preview, the overall theme is the grey area between pure good and evil. While the Omega Rangers’ quest is noble… saving the universe… how far are they willing to go to do that? Teaming up with the forces of Drakkon and Dark Specter?

The standout character once again is Trini. Writer Ryan Parrott has really made her a force of leadership and the moral compass of the team ever since his Go Go Power Rangers days. She is easily one of my favorite characters in the whole run of the comics.

The Omega Rangers are getting closer to their goal, but how much are they willing to sacrifice for the greater good?”

COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Unlimited: Heir to Darkness #1

By | |
2 Comments

On Wednesday, March 31st, POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: HEIR TO DARKNESS #1 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown earlier this week.

POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: HEIR TO DARKNESS #1 – Astronema is one of the most popular Power Rangers villains ever and her true origin is revealed for the first time in a one-shot directly connected to the events of Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers! Before she became a Power Ranger, a young girl named Karone was kidnapped by bounty hunters and brainwashed into the assassin known as Astronema by two of the greatest threats in the galaxy – Dark Specter and Ecliptor. But what is Dark Spector’s true plan…and what does it mean for the new Mighty Morphin & Power Rangers teams? Acclaimed author L.L. McKinney (A Blade So Black) and artist Simone Ragazzoni (Power Rangers: Drakkon New Dawn) present a powerful new story that no Power Rangers fan can miss.

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

“Last week Power Rangers Issue 5 released and gave us a first look at a younger Astronema, before the events of Power Rangers In Space. The first in a new one-shot series, Power Rangers Unlimited: Heir to Darkness, explores the rise of Karone as Astronema and leads directly into Power Rangers Issue 5 and next month’s Issue 6. 

The comic has a lot to live up to, but thankfully writer L.L. McKinney delivers. A longtime fan of Power Rangers and particularly of In Space, she fills the issue with clever references and ties into events we have seen in the show. Rivalries are explored as well as the motivations of Dark Specter, Darkonda and Ecliptor. Astronema is the center of it all and she has a journey throughout this issue to earn the title of ‘Princess of Evil’. Like me, you might be surprised at a reveal towards the end of the issue and leave you wanting to read it again.

In terms of the artwork, Simone Ragazzoni returns from ‘Drakkon New Dawn’. While the painterly style is back, the detail of the characters and action is in top form. I really enjoyed the style of Ecliptor and Darkonda which pushed their look from the series even more. Darkonda’s expressions in the issue are twisted. For the action, there are some beautiful spreads that take advantage of sharp angles and excellent panel layouts. Colorist Igor Monti makes the issue bold and colorful, a stark contrast to an issue focusing on villains. A lot of greens, oranges and purples set the palette for the issue. 

Overall, Power Rangers Unlimited: Heir to Darkness is a pivotal and must read issue for longtime fans of Astronema. Even though it ties into the current arc in the comic series, this is a great standalone for those who haven’t kept up with all of the releases. Highly recommended!”

Stay tuned next week for a more in-depth review on the podcast as well as our interview with writer L.L. McKinney!

COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 5

Leave a comment

On Wednesday, March 24th, Power Rangers Issue 5 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown earlier this week.

POWER RANGERS #5 – The New Power Rangers are attacked by the young assassin known as Astronema, one of the most popular characters in franchise history! Meanwhile, Lord Drakkon and Trini face off against one of the greatest Power Rangers villains ever – with a shocking conclusion!

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

“Power Rangers Issue 5 advances the journey of the Omega Rangers into familiar territory – the planet Onyx. Teased in the previous issue, Onyx has been seen and mentioned in previous Power Rangers series most notably in Power Rangers In Space.

A lot of lore is established in this issue which expands the universe of the show and what we already know of Planet Onyx. There is a very surprising set of new characters introduced, aside from those mentioned in the issue’s description, which will make sense for longtime Power Rangers fans. Without giving anything away, I was VERY happy to see another perspective of established lore. There are also more answers about the mystery surrounding the Empyreals which is very satisfying for upcoming issues. 

Ryan Parrott delivers on his promise that Power Rangers will expand familiar elements from the show. I think this issue was the one I was waiting for because after reading it, my mind wandered to all of the possibilities this series could explore. Artist Francesco Mortarino keeps getting better with action and details of characters. For this issue, I was particularly impressed with the panel layouts and how they changed during the action scenes.

This month is an exciting time for Power Rangers fans since the events of this issue and the past of Astronema will be explored in two weeks with Power Rangers Unlimited: Heir to Darkness. It’s time to catch up if you haven’t!”
