COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Unlimited: Heir to Darkness #1

On Wednesday, March 31st, POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: HEIR TO DARKNESS #1 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown earlier this week.

POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: HEIR TO DARKNESS #1 – Astronema is one of the most popular Power Rangers villains ever and her true origin is revealed for the first time in a one-shot directly connected to the events of Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers! Before she became a Power Ranger, a young girl named Karone was kidnapped by bounty hunters and brainwashed into the assassin known as Astronema by two of the greatest threats in the galaxy – Dark Specter and Ecliptor. But what is Dark Spector’s true plan…and what does it mean for the new Mighty Morphin & Power Rangers teams? Acclaimed author L.L. McKinney (A Blade So Black) and artist Simone Ragazzoni (Power Rangers: Drakkon New Dawn) present a powerful new story that no Power Rangers fan can miss.

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

“Last week Power Rangers Issue 5 released and gave us a first look at a younger Astronema, before the events of Power Rangers In Space. The first in a new one-shot series, Power Rangers Unlimited: Heir to Darkness, explores the rise of Karone as Astronema and leads directly into Power Rangers Issue 5 and next month’s Issue 6. 

The comic has a lot to live up to, but thankfully writer L.L. McKinney delivers. A longtime fan of Power Rangers and particularly of In Space, she fills the issue with clever references and ties into events we have seen in the show. Rivalries are explored as well as the motivations of Dark Specter, Darkonda and Ecliptor. Astronema is the center of it all and she has a journey throughout this issue to earn the title of ‘Princess of Evil’. Like me, you might be surprised at a reveal towards the end of the issue and leave you wanting to read it again.

In terms of the artwork, Simone Ragazzoni returns from ‘Drakkon New Dawn’. While the painterly style is back, the detail of the characters and action is in top form. I really enjoyed the style of Ecliptor and Darkonda which pushed their look from the series even more. Darkonda’s expressions in the issue are twisted. For the action, there are some beautiful spreads that take advantage of sharp angles and excellent panel layouts. Colorist Igor Monti makes the issue bold and colorful, a stark contrast to an issue focusing on villains. A lot of greens, oranges and purples set the palette for the issue. 

Overall, Power Rangers Unlimited: Heir to Darkness is a pivotal and must read issue for longtime fans of Astronema. Even though it ties into the current arc in the comic series, this is a great standalone for those who haven’t kept up with all of the releases. Highly recommended!”

Stay tuned next week for a more in-depth review on the podcast as well as our interview with writer L.L. McKinney!
