COMIC REVIEW – Go Go Power Rangers 32

Leave a comment

On June 10th, Boom Studios releases Go Go Power Rangers Issue 32.

THE ORIGIN OF THE OMEGA RANGERS CONCLUDES! Jason, Trini and Zack meet Kiya for the first time on Safehaven to begin their new roles as Omega Rangers! Meanwhile, what will it take for Aisha, Rocky and Adam to prove they’re ready to be the newest Power Rangers?

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

“With this final issue, Go Go Power Rangers is over and concludes its part of Necessary Evil. With two weeks before Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Issue 50, now would be a good time to read the arc in chronological order for the big finale. I know I’ll be rereading everything to prepare! 

Since its debut, Go Go Power Rangers has always complimented the main comic while showing a deeper side to the Ranger’s lives. Over the past year, the back and forth between both series has played nicely for the arc. Now, writers Ryan Parrott and Sina Grace are closing a chapter and its definitely bittersweet. Personally, I always liked when GGPR has included moments from the show. It not only informs where everything takes place on the timeline, but also gives you more context to the bigger picture. There are some lines and scenes from “The Power Transfer Part 2”, but more lines and context has been added to work with the Necessary Evil story line. 

I applaud both of the writers for treating the real world reason of the three original actors leaving the show with respect by making a great story out of it. The conflict between Jason and Tommy is well done… we’ve seen the aftereffects in MMPR, but Tommy’s harsh words in this issue resonate throughout the arc in Jason’s frustrations. The final pages are a great reflection of the challenges both teams will face in this arc and a nice sendoff of this comic. Highly recommended!”

COMIC REVIEW – Go Go Power Rangers 31

On May 27th, Boom Studios releases Go Go Power Rangers Issue 31.

Zack, and Trini are leaving Earth to officially join THE OMEGA RANGERS, but it means their former team is now down three people, with Lord Zedd about to launch his ultimate weapon! Zordon and Alpha-5 search desperately for worthy successors, but will it be enough to stop the enemy?

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

“It’s been a long couple of months since the last issue of a Power Rangers comic had been released. Go Go Power Rangers 31 is the penultimate issue of this series and one of the few remaining in the Necessary Evil storyline. After the ending of the last issue, this issue takes a different approach with the resolutions coming in the form of flashbacks. Trini and Zack catch up with Kim and Billy respectfully, while Jason talks with his Dad about his “scuba trip”. This is a perfect way to not only move the story forward, but you feel the passage of time from what’s going on in real life with the comic delays. I know it’s completely unintentional because these comics are written months in advance, but the timing really works for this issue. 

There are definitely a couple twists in this issue with some new surprises, which were unexpected. As solicits get more spoilery, it is nice to have something happen that keeps you guessing. Writers Ryan Parrott and Sina Grace continue to keep the dialogue snappy and there are some nice dialogue page transitions here. As always the connections between character continue to shine. I loved Billy’s choice of relaxation after battle and the return of Jason’s Dad in this issue.  The art by Francesco Mortarino continues to impress and I love the more “anime” feel to the characters. 

With only one issue of Go Go Power Rangers left, I hope that it is a satisfying conclusion for this series, despite being the next-to-last-issue in Necessary Evil.”

COMIC PREVIEW – Go Go Power Rangers 30

Leave a comment

On March 11th, Boom Studios releases Go Go Power Rangers Issue 30.

LORD ZEDD sets his eyes on something he is sure will defeat the Power Rangers, and unleashes his full force to obtain in. With Jason, Trini and Zack encountering a new threat of their own as OMEGA RANGERS, Tommy must lead Kimberly and Billy into battle at half-power with disastrous consequences.

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

“It will be bittersweet when Go Go Power Rangers comes to a conclusion. For a standard sized comic, it feels like there is a lot of story packed into this issue. While Jason, Zack and Trini meet Kiya for the first time; Tommy, Kim and Billy are left to defend Promethea against Lord Zedd’s newest plan. The team is splintered and Kim’s concerns are valid.

What’s great about issue thirty is how much ties back to objects and stories seen throughout the entire run of the comics. This is very rewarding for longtime readers and it gives the story a really strong footing. I also enjoy seeing some Easter eggs from time to time. Look closely in this issue and you’ll see the crew from the anime series Cowboy Bebop.

Without giving anything away I will say that the ending to this issue surprised me to the point where I will have to rethink who or what will come back in the final pages of Necessary Evil.”
