COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Unlimited: Edge of Darkness #1

On Wednesday, June 30th, POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: EDGE OF DARKNESS #1 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown last week.

POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: EDGE OF DARKNESS #1 – ENTER THE PHANTOM RANGER! Answering Zordon’s call, the Phantom Ranger investigates the aftermath of an Empyreal attack. Only to discover their connection to an ancient evil he encountered long ago… which may have finally returned to threaten the entire universe.

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

“Last week Power Rangers Issue 8 released and showed the destruction of the planet Hartunia at the hands of the Empyreals. The second in a mini one-shot series, Power Rangers Unlimited: Edge of  Darkness, explores a past adventure of the mysterious Phantom Ranger from 10,000 years ago in a flashback after visiting Hartunia at the behest of Zordon. The implications going forward in the comics universe are monumental!

With the Phantom Ranger being such a popular character among fans and the hype surrounding the issue, Edge of Darkness has a lot riding on it. Fortunately, writer Frank Gogol has crafted a beautiful story to fill in some of the gaps of the Phantom Ranger’s origins with an adventure that continues a plot thread from deep in the Power Rangers comic universe. The story serves as a continuation from Go Go Power Rangers Issues 18-19 where Lady Fienna is trying to escape with a young Rita from the forces of Master Vile. In fact, the first page of the flashback’s dialogue is taken from the last time we see them. Not only do we get a resolution to that plotline, but it reveals some great details and lore in the Power Rangers universe. 

On the artwork side, Simone Ragazzoni returns from ‘Drakkon New Dawn’ and the previous ‘Heir to Darkness’. The visual continuity between these books helps to tie the stories together since both deal with the looming threat of Dark Specter. The detail that Simone brings to the issue is amazing. From the Phantom Ranger and his ship, to gorgeous space scenes and action, every panel is packed with care. Colorist Igor Monti also returns and brings a rich palette of colors that fit with the sci-fi aesthetic of the issue. 

Overall, Power Rangers Unlimited: Edge of Darkness not only serves as a conclusion to a past storyline and expands the Power Rangers universe, but it continues the threat of Dark Specter. Leaving it for what we know happens in Power Rangers In Space or room for future exploration with that character. More importantly, we get more depth into the character of the Phantom Ranger and opening him up for further adventures. Highly recommended!”

COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 8

By | |
1 Comment

On Wednesday, June 23rd, Power Rangers Issue 8 will be released from Boom Studios. Our exclusive first look of this issue was shown last week.

POWER RANGERS #8 – This is it. There is nowhere left to run and no more time to prepare as the Omega Rangers must stand off against one of the Empyreal… with the fate of an entire planet at stake. And when the Omega Rangers discover the true nature of the threat to Earth, will they be able to warn their former teammates in time?

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

“This is the issue I’ve been waiting for, the Omega Rangers finally confront one of the Empyreals.

As seen in past issues, the Hartunian Empire controls and enslaves planets for thousands of years all the way back as during young Zordon’s first adventures. It’s ironic that their fate lies in the hands of the Omega Rangers, who want to protect all life. Drakkon seems to be content to watch from the sidelines as entertainment, calling them scavengers.  But will the cost to save them be too high?  

Power Rangers Issue 8 is very bittersweet and makes you wonder how futile the Omega Ranger’s quest might be. All of that is felt through Zack’s perspective in this installment. There’s only so much humor Zack can use to diffuse a situation or make himself feel better. After this issue, it will be hard to find humor in this instance.

Writer Ryan Parrott has done a good job building the mystery up until this point, but now more than ever readers definitely need more answers! The next couple months are going to be crucial for both series to start to deliver on building storylines.

As always, artist Francesco Mortarino exceeds himself with beautiful alien landscapes, dynamic perspectives and epic zord fights. For an emotional ride such as this issue, the characters convey every sense of loss and urgency in the situation. Colorist Raúl Angulo uses color contrast to great affect, the oranges and blues of the Empyreal stand out against the battles on Hartunia.

You will want to stay to the end of this issue, because it not only sets the next stage of the story in motion, but leads directly into June 30th’s ‘Edge of Darkness’ written by Frank Gogol. Highly recommended.”

Reebok Debuts 90s-Inspired Power Rangers Collection

(BOSTON) June 22, 2021 – Today Reebok unveils its first Reebok x Power Rangers collection in partnership with Hasbro. Inspired by the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television series of the 90s, this full-family footwear collection pairs iconic Reebok silhouettes with five of the original Power Rangers in both performance and lifestyle silhouettes.

The characters featured in this collection include the Red Ranger, Black Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger and Megazord. Each of the key footwear models that represent the Power Rangers incorporate elements connecting the shoe to its corresponding Power Ranger and their Zord.

Highlights of the Reebok x Power Rangers line include:

  • Zig Kinetica II Red Ranger ($140) – The Red Ranger’s impressive athleticism and powerful personality pairs perfectly with Reebok’s all-new Zig Kinetica II. The Zig Kinetica II Red Ranger also features a jagged toe box to represent the Tyrannosaurus Zord’s teeth with silver Zord accents along the midsole. Also available in Zig Dynamica for grade school and preschool.

 

  • Nano X1 Black Ranger ($150) – This version of Reebok’s most versatile training shoe yet, the Nano X1, was inspired by the Black Ranger’s sleek look, agility and speed. The Nano X1 Black Ranger allows you to perform a wide range of physical activities in style. The shoe even features a heel tab design that references the Black Ranger’s signature 90s fashion sense. Available in adult sizing.

 

  • Club C Legacy Blue Ranger ($120) – Rather than being at the forefront of every fight, the Blue Ranger’s power comes from within. This Club C Legacy pays homage to the Blue Power Ranger’s work through the translucent sole, which shows an important aspect of the shoe that is often shrouded by the outsole. The sneaker also includes a white collar and heel blocking to resemble the design of the Triceratops Zord’s crown. Available in adult, grade school and preschool sizing.

 

  • Freestyle Hi Pink Ranger ($120) – Reebok’s Freestyle Hi, the first workout shoe made exclusively for women, is the perfect silhouette to represent the Pink Ranger, known for promoting individual empowerment and investing in others by teaching aerobics at her community center. The shoe also incorporates pink stripes down the front of the upper that make reference to the Pterodactyl Zord, as well as a green broken heart on the inside strap that alludes to the Pink Ranger’s relationship with the Green Ranger. Available in women’s, grade school and preschool sizing.

 

  • Club C Yellow Ranger ($100) – The Club C, a silhouette known for its’ adaptability from the skate park to the tennis court, matches the Yellow Power Ranger’s signature versatility. In addition to Zord markings, the Club C Yellow Ranger features a wing logo on the back of the tongue as a tribute to Yellow Ranger actress Thuy Trang. Available in adult sizing.

 

  • Question Mid Megazord ($180) – The Question Mid Megazord features a range of markings to represent the Zord, from the black and yellow logo on the tongue that resembles Zord eyes to the V-printed eyelets that emulate Zord teeth. The shoe also includes a question mark on the right toe with an M for Megazord.

 

Beyond unique details that relate to each character, each style incorporates a Power Coin, the Power Rangers bolt and materials inspired by the metallic Zords.

All six adult models will be packaged in shoeboxes designed to resemble different elements of the Megazord. Once assembled, these six boxes combined will create a limited edition Megazord figure akin to the television show model.

The Question Mid Megazord will be available exclusively at Reebok.com/power_rangers beginning June 29, 2021 at 10am EST. All remaining models in the Reebok x Power Rangers collection will be available at both Reebok.com/power_rangers and various additional retailers on June 29, 2021 at 10am EST. Hi-res imagery of the collection is available for download HERE.

COMIC REVIEW – Mighty Morphin Issue 8

By | |
Leave a comment

On Wednesday, June 9th, Mighty Morphin Issue 8 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown last week.

Will the Power Rangers be able to save Angel Grove from Lord Zedd and his Putty Primes? With Tommy’s life on the line, the rest of the team will have to rely on new allies with their own agenda. Meanwhile, past and present collide as another player finally reveals themselves and makes their move…

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

“As we inch closer to Mighty Morphin Issue 10 and the return of Dan Mora with a Zordon focused story, more lore regarding the Zeo Crystal is shown in the first few pages of Mighty Morphin issue 8. At least… some Eltarian myths surrounding the crystal. Is Zeon in the story one of the original Morphin Masters? If so, it’s a great way to tie in the comics and what we’ve seen so far from Power Rangers Dino Fury. 

Aside from that, the preview continues in the present with Tommy squaring off against the Megazord sized Putty Primes. With some help from Aisha, the issue has an explosive start. The situation flips pretty drastically back and forth for the rest of the issue. And while we won’t spoil anything, I really hope that we get some non-Ranger character beats from the fallout of this issue. In the past few issues, there have been a couple time skips that I think take away from the characters truly processing some of the events going on. I hope we get that in the next issue, before the Zordon standalone in Issue 10.

Writer Ryan Parrott really delivered by making Aisha a big part of this issue early on and has been doing a great job in fleshing out the Yellow Rangers for both series. Artist Marco Renna excels with the Zord battles and panel layouts. There’s also some unique panels with the fight scenes in this issue, particularly with Rocky fighting, that I found visually appealing. 

Overall, Issue 8 ups the stakes in another power move from Zedd and continues to build for the event issue coming up. Definitely looking forward to see what happens next!”
