Ranger Command Power Hour Episode 153

It’s time to Ranger Up with @trekkieb47, @secretrangerfan & @ZachLaVoy as they talk all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

On this episode, hosts Eric and A.P. are joined by Josh (@KentuckyJAM), Kenn (@TheKennGlenn) and Chris (@TokuChris) to ponder about the future of Power Rangers. A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks since our last episode and we dissect what we think it means for the future of the franchise.

We discuss all of the latest news including the return for Power Rangers Beast Morphers, the departure of Melissa Flores from Hasbro, if Chip Lynn is leaving Power Rangers, and more.

It’s not all doom and gloom since there is a lot of horsing around for this episode. Then we read your responses to our Ranger Nation Answers question: Where do you see Power Rangers going in the 3 years (30th anniversary)? What do you want to see?

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.”

Shocking Betrayal in MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46

It’s Ranger VS Ranger in Newest Chapter of Necessary Evil in December 2019

LOS ANGELES, CA (December 10, 2019) – BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), today revealed a new look at MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 by the all -star team of acclaimed writer Ryan Parrott (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenate Mutant Ninja Turtles), Shattered Grid artist Daniele di Nicuolo (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), colorist Walter Baiamonte (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), and letterer Ed Dukeshire (Angel), the essential next chapter in the epic POWER RANGERS event, Necessary Evil, arriving in December 2019.

The ALL NEW OMEGA RANGERS discover a shocking betrayal from one of their own! As Safe Haven turns into a RANGER VS RANGER battleground, not everyone will make it out alive.

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

“The board is set, the pieces are in position. In the latest chapter of Necessary Evil, The Anointed makes their move against the Omega Rangers. No punches are pulled, literally.

Artist Daniele di Nicuolo continues the trend of fights drawn so well, you can feel every impact. Downward force punches never get old for me, and in this issue… there’s one that will have serious consequences for the next issue.

It’s not all kicking and punching though. Writer Ryan Parrott writes a fantastic scene with Tommy and Kimberly that deals with the building tensions between the Mighty Morphin’ team. Tommy has a lot to learn about being a leader, and it’s great to see this evolution of the character.

The ending of this issue will make you rethink what you might be guessing will happen in this arc, and that’s a good thing.”

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 features a main cover by Jamal Campbell (Naomi), as well as a special foil variant of the iconic Helmet Covers featuring the Armored Red Ranger by fan favorite artist Goñi Montes (Sandman Universe), a collectible Trading Card variant cover by Kris Anka (Runaways) and designed by Dylan Todd. The MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 cover by Anka features the Red Omega Ranger, Jason Lee Scott, with an image of the Red Omega Ranger in action on the front, and stats on the back cover, including team name, alias, and biography.

The MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 Story variant cover depicts the next essential chapter in an eleven-part series written by writer Ryan Parrott and illustrated by acclaimed artist Dan Mora, following the enigmatic, all-knowing Emissaries as they travel space and time, unearthing never-before-seen details of the immediate aftermath of the explosive events of Shattered Grid and changing the course of MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS comic history forever.

COMIC PREVIEW – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 45

Leave a comment

On Wednesday, November 27th, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 45 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview and review of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

NECESSARY EVIL CONTINUES! The ALL NEW OMEGA RANGERS team up with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for the first time! But as they battle evil forces on the moon, it’s Jason—now the Red Omega Ranger—who must face Lord Zedd alone! No matter who wins, nothing will ever be the same for any Power Ranger…

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

“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 45 feels like the start of the endgame for Necessary Evil. This issue eliminates one threat only to replace it with a potentially greater foe. And perhaps, that’s the whole point of the Power Rangers. There would be no need for them without the evils that are necessary for their existence.

The majority of this arc for both GGPR and MMPR gives us a deeper understanding to Jason, who increasingly realizes the weight of his leadership and consequences of his actions. Artist Daniele di Nicuolo executes that emotional weight on Jason’s face perfectly in this issue.

Without spoiling anything, there are a couple twists in this issue that surprised me, even though hints of what is to come have been shown in future solicitations. It will be very interesting to see how the events of this issue will change the landscape of the comic.”
