COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 15

On Wednesday, January 19th, Power Rangers Issue 15 will be released from Boom Studios.

THE ELTARIAN WAR CONTINUES. With the fate of Earth and the Zeo Crystal hanging in the balance, unexpected alliances are formed to stop the Empyreals and their master! On Earth, the Zord battles continue, culminating in the Omegazords finally coming together in a never before seen form!  Will it be enough when all seems lost? 

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

“After the explosive events of Mighty Morphin Issue 15  – the disarming of the Orange Empyreal, the White Tiger Dragonzord combination and Zartus going to the Zeo Crystal in the Caves of Deception – Power Rangers 15 has a lot to live up to.

In the preview we get an intro from Bulk and Skull in the form of a live Ranger Station update. With so much happening in this arc, I am glad we still get to see a civilian on the ground perspective. It also serves as a nice recap of the last issue. Although if people are reading just one of these titles, this arc would definitely confuse them by only getting half of the story.

We get more looks of the White Tiger Dragonzord, a design which makes my inner 12 year old self scream with joy. To have both the Green and White Rangers together in the comics has always been a fanboy dream, and this is the cherry on top. The White Tigerzord really gets around in terms of original Zord combinations. In Necessary Evil we saw it combine into the White Tiger Mechazord and the Red Tiger Omegazord. I think the reason for so many combinations in the comics is how versatile the base Warrior Mode for the Tigerzord is. Serving as the base for these new modes, comic artists can attach and combine the new addons where needed.

This combination is not just fanservice, since Matt and Tommy are forced to work together. This leads to a much needed conversation and mentor moment for Tommy. With their connection to the Morphin Grid not only do they control the Zords as one, but they are also sharing each other’s thoughts. Not everything is resolved though, and I hope we get more of a lengthy resolution at the end of the arc.

The rest of the issue just continues to build, leading to the promise of some of the variant covers. Not to spoil anything, but writer Ryan Parrott continues to build on every issue of the last year and change. Nothing is left off the table with the cliffhanger of this issue. Both Eltarian War artists Francesco Mortarino & Marco Renna team up for this issue and it just works perfectly. Marco Renna tackles a certain continuation of a battle from the last issue with needed visual continuity while Francesco Mortarino handles all of the Zord battles. I don’t know if the rest of the handful of issue left in Eltarian War will continue this, but if it does, we’re in store for one hell of a finale.”
