COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 4

On Wednesday, February 17th, Power Rangers Issue 4 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown earlier this week.

POWER RANGERS #4 – RETURN TO SHATTERED GRID! The UNLIMITED POWER era continues as the New Power Rangers – and Lord Drakkon – return to the new universe that Drakkon created in Shattered Grid. But will Drakkon choose to save the New Power Rangers from the surprising threat waiting there for them… or will he betray them?

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

“Power Rangers Issue 4 is the next part of the journey for the Omega Rangers as they continue to search for the Empyreals. As seen in the preview below, the Omega Rangers and Drakkon visit the reality that he created at the end of Shattered Grid.

For new readers, the might be a bit confusing as there are other events in the issue referenced from the FOC Story Covers during Necessary Evil. Not everyone was able to get their hands on these covers, but you can view them on our previous reviews to get the full story. This is a key issue in terms of resolving that lingering thread, and provides the Rangers with the next part of their quest. Unlike the previous two-issue ‘mini arc’, Power Rangers Issue 4 is bridging the story to the next chunk of issues. 

I’m glad that the focus is back on finding the Empyreals, but I wish there was a greater sense of urgency or that we could see what they are up to in a tease. Events seem to be picking up though as we a cut to a familiar location in the Power Rangers Universe towards the end of the issue. Without giving anything away, I applaud both writer Ryan Parrott and artist Francesco Mortarino for leaning into the wackiness of Power Rangers. As always, the artwork is fantastic and continues to be my favorite aspect monthly for both series. The amount of detail and continuity of visuals from the end of Go Go Power Rangers is greatly appreciated, kudos to Mortarino for packing so much detail into these panels. 

Power Rangers Issue 4 is a stepping stone to greater events coming down the path… but, I am ready to run.”

COMIC REVIEW – MIGHTY MORPHIN Issue 4

On Wednesday, February 10th, Mighty Morphin Issue 4 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown earlier this week.

The UNLIMITED POWER era continues with the answer to the question everyone’s asking – Who Is The New Green Ranger? And what is their shocking connection to the Mighty Morphin team? It’s the last page shocker that no fan can miss!

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

“This is it. The issue everyone has been waiting for. Whether you were spoiled by other sites of the identity of the New Green Ranger or have been patiently (or not so) waiting, this issue is still a must read. Of course we won’t spoil the surprise, but this isn’t the only reveal in this issue…

From the previews below, we continue to get a glimpse into the life of Zordon of Eltar when he was younger.  Personally, I love this bit of lore dive into Zordon’s past and his emergence as a reluctant Guardian of Eltar. Much like the teenagers he will recruit ten thousand years later, Zordon does not see the potential in himself and it’s up to his mentor Supreme Guardian Zophram to guide him. Meanwhile, the Power Rangers are in a tough spot as Lord Zedd’s Putty Prime overwhelms the Thunder Megazord.

What happens in the rest of the issue will lead to some big revelations for both the Power Rangers themselves and readers. With so many developments happening, I expect future issues to deliver the consequences of past relationships to reward long term readers. If you haven’t participated in the now finished Kickstarter for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers hardcover collection, I highly suggest that newer readers pick up the softcover collections for both MMPR and Go Go Power Rangers. 

Writer Ryan Parrott will definitely be drawing from past storylines and relationships between all of the Rangers. The Boom Studios Power Rangers universe has its own deep mythology five years into the comics. There is a lot to mine from, and right now Parrott is pulling from multiple story lines. Artist Marco Renna is still doing an amazing job with this book. I enjoy the way he adds details to the backgrounds and makes the action pop with dynamic perspective changes. Walter Baiamonte continues to rock as colorist, with most of the issue filled with vibrant colors from the daytime setting. Letterer Ed Dukeshire also is consistent with the entire line of Power Rangers comics and adds punch to big reveals. 

Like I said, the reveal of the Green Ranger may not surprise everyone, but readers should focus on what this means for the future of these characters and their relationships. Once the Dragonzord is out of the bag, it can never be put back…”

COMIC PREVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 3

On Wednesday, January 20th, Power Rangers Issue 3 will be released from Boom Studios.

POWER RANGERS #3 – Two New Series. Two New Teams. The UNLIMITED POWER ERA continues as Drakkon is the key to the Power Rangers‘ new mission. But to defeat the new cosmic threat, the new Power Rangers team – Jason, Trini, Zack and new members – has put their faith in their greatest enemy. And the only way they may be able to save the universe is by giving Drakkon exactly what he wants…

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

“Continuing the story from the previous issue, the Rangers must formulate and execute a plan to rid the Spectrum II of the HORRID. The Horrid, for lack of a better term, are space vampires. But with a twist, they are in a state of inter-dimensional phase shifting that makes some physical attacks impossible.

If this sounds like a bunch of Star Trek-like technobabble, you’d be right – Ryan Parrott previously wrote Star Trek comics. Here, it feels natural with the Omega Rangers and their deep space mission. Xi gets some much needed focus in this issue, bringing the Rangers together and helping put the plan into motion. If you were worried about the high emotions brewing these last few issues, don’t worry. At least by the end of this issue, the tension has died down between the Rangers. 

There are a couple standout moments in this issue that we won’t spoil, but one is a direct homage and mirrors a key event in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 25. It appears some things may never change…

Writer Ryan Parrott successfully delivers a tight 2-issue mini-arc that leaves the door open for this enemy to come back, if they choose to revisit them. The next couple of issues seem to be leaning towards exploring what happened with Drakkon many issues earlier from the end of Shattered Grid and how he escaped his prison. How Drakkon will work with the team, or not, to deal with the threat of the Empyreals remains to be seen. Hopefully, the next issues start dealing with that threat more directly. I hope that we see them make an appearance soon. Otherwise, their threat might start to feel diminished as the months go on.

As always, artist Francesco Mortarino continues his style from the later run of Go Go Power Rangers. He is adapting to a ship-based story with tight closeups of characters and a claustrophobic feeling between panels. This only adds to the feeling of tension in the issue. Colorist Raúl Angulo has a wonderful dark palette, with a lot of purples, reds and rich blacks. Combined, Francesco and Raúl complete the atmosphere set in Ryan Parrott’s story. 

Overall, Power Rangers Issue 3 delivers a successful conclusion to this first mini-arc format. How this will play into the ongoing threat of the Empyreals remains to be seen.”
