On February 12th, Boom Studios releases Go Go Power Rangers Issue 29.

Tommy steps into his new role as leader of the Power Rangers, but not everyone is convinced he’ll be able to lead like Jason did. Meanwhile, Zack, Trini, and Jason are given their first mission as OMEGA RANGERS, and must trust that their friends will be able to handle all of Lord Zedd‘s threats without them. 

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

“Necessary Evil continues as this comic nears its conclusion and catch up to MMPR issue 40. While we know where the story needs to go, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some surprises in this issue. Without giving too much away, Lord Zedd’s plan is unexpected and will give readers more to think about the role of certain elements only introduced in the comics. 

I was also pleasantly surprised that this issue revisited a personal plotline with one of the Rangers. It was stories like this that make Go Go a standout of the Power Rangers comic series, and one that I hope continues in the main comic after Necessary Evil. We don’t always need a big event to tell compelling stories.

After Necessary Evil ends, I look forward to reading the event in chronological order. Go Go has done a great job of filling in the missing pieces of the event while simultaneously introducing some surprises that keep us coming back. If there ever is a successor to this series, I can only hope it can come close to what Go Go Power Rangers has achieved. “

On January 29th, Boom Studios releases Go Go Power Rangers Issue 28, the second of two GGPR issues coming out this month and the fourth week of six straight weeks of Power Rangers comics.

Before RITA REPULSA was the Power Ranger’s enemy she was imprisoned in a dumpster on the moon, serving time for her widespread reign of terror. Within the confines of her cell, Rita is forced to confront her sins, by experiencing the lives of those she has affected…

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

“A couple weeks ago I speculated that with the end of Necessary Evil, Go Go Power Rangers might end or take a new direction. This week’s news that the book is ending, gives this issue more significance.

In Go Go Power Rangers 28, we take a break from the main story to focus on Rita Repulsa and her minions. In issue 24 the comic explored Bulk and Skull’s characters in a similar fashion. In my opinion, this is what Go Go Power Ranger’s has done best. We get to explore the motivations of characters by taking a look into their past.

With this issue, we get a glimpse of Rita’s imprisonment inside the Space Dumpster for over 10,000 years. I won’t give anything away, but the story is based on a trope used many times in science fiction stories. That’s not to say this issue is lessened by that trope, because the implications of what Rita goes through in this issue and what she does when she is released are staggering. You will realize how deep her evil runs and how irredeemable she is.

With four issues left, why focus on Rita Repulsa now? She has not been a part of Necessary Evil. I think this sets up a reintroduction of her character after almost a year of absence. Could the solicitations referral of [SPOILER] be… the return of Rita?”

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!”

Last week we gave you a first look at Go Go Power Rangers Issue 26. Below is the full preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.  Go Go Power Rangers Issue 26 will be released from Boom Studios next Wednesday, December 11th.

As Jason begins to form his new team—the Omega Rangers—he struggles to keep the truth from his friends, Trini and Zack. Meanwhile, on another planet, Tommy has reached the Tower of Light but is he truly worthy of becoming the White Ranger?!

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

“Go Go Power Rangers has always been a comic about exploring the backstories of the characters and adding depth and context to events we think we might know from watching the show. This issue continues that trend in great spectacle and lore building.

As seen in the preview, we have a flashback from when Tommy was under Rita’s spell during Green With Evil. This event becomes a focal point for later in the issue, where Tommy’s motivations and character is being questioned.

Bouncing between GGPR and MMPR throughout Necessary Evil makes for interesting reading. We know that Tommy will become the White Ranger, but seeing the journey unfold is a great treat to read. Filling in the gaps in White Light is a brilliant move and makes Tommy’s rise to become the White Ranger more believable than just a power upgrade Zordon had in his back pocket.

This issues is not just focused on Tommy. Jason is confronted by Zack and Trini, continuing from last issue’s cliffhanger. The trust that the team has built on for a year is now on shaky ground. With Zack and Trini questioning Jason’s motives during battle, how can they function as a cohesive group?

Necessary Evil has been a fantastic ride so far. While Shattered Grid was amazing in cameos, great villains and story, Necessary Evil feels more introspective. The team dynamic is changing and I can’t wait to read how it unfolds.”
