Discover Zordon’s ties to Bandora’s Palace on the Moon — the modern home of Rita Repulsa. When an assassin is sent to disrupt the Eltarians’ efforts to protect an ancient weapon, Zordon is injured in the process and his mentor, Zophram, must make a decision that will alter the future of the Power Rangers as we know it!
Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:
“Mighty Morphin Issue 10 is unlike the rest of the issues in this series, being a complete flashback to the ongoing story of Zordon’s past. Artist Dan Mora returns to illustrate this milestone issue, so you know it’s a big deal. All of the previous flashbacks have been leading up to this – the origin of one of the greatest villains in Power Rangers.
Writer Ryan Parrott has crafted a bold story, planned from the very beginning of the two new series. In fact, this issue was written over a year ago to accommodate artist Dan Mora’s schedule. With that amount of time, many clues have been built in to preceding issues and once you read this, it will all click into place. While the events of this issue may not be a surprise for some if you have been paying attention, the effect of this story is still impactful and leaves me wanting more.
The return of Dan Mora is welcome, especially for an issue like this. His style is so ingrained into the franchise, not only with Go Go Power Rangers, but recent designs for the ongoing arc. There was no better person to draw this issue. Of course, the colors by Raúl Angulo and Jose Enrique Fernández give the comic life with vibrant color changes between locations that set the mood for each scene.
There’s not much more to say about this issue without giving away all of the surprises, but it is worth reading. After this issue and the focus on Yale for next week’s Power Rangers Issue 10, it will be interesting to dive into the next chapter of this ongoing saga. Highly recommended!”

POWER RANGERS #9 – The Omega Rangers return to a Safehaven, but all is not well with the new arrivals. After a confrontation in the streets, can Zack help bring peace… or will a friend’s need for revenge against the Hartunians be too much for one Ranger?
Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:
“After a narrow escape from one of the Empyreals’ attack on Hartunia last issue the Omega Rangers return to Safe Haven, but how safe is it really?
I really enjoyed reading this issue. After months of galactic searching, the answers are starting to hit closer to the Omega Ranger’s home. It really feels like all of the pieces are falling into place. When dealing with a grand mythology of the Morphin Masters and Empyreals, Ryan Parrott does an incredible job balancing the side stories for all of the Rangers in this issue.
I think the standout is Zack’s story. Zack is put into a very tense situation that forces him to confront his decision from the previous issue head on. Zack’s continuous growth in this series is great to see, coming a long way from self describing himself as the jokester in Necessary Evil. That’s not to say the other Ranger’s don’t get a strong focus, because they do in spades. Jason is left with a decision he will need to address soon and Trini fully taps into her powerful potential.
Aside from artist Francesco Mortarino’s usual stunning art mixing action and character emotion, Moisés Hidalgo from the end run of the MMPR comic returns for a few guest pages. As seen in the preview below, this is a mini side story that sets up the focus for upcoming Issue 10’s Yale focused issue. I have always loved Hidalgo’s storybook look and this is no different. The end of the issue is particularly haunting and drawn beautifully with no dialogue needed.
This issue is highly recommended.”

Will the Power Rangers make the right choice and save Angel Grove? The battle of Angel Grove continues as the team grapples with a seemingly no-win scenario. Will they be able to defeat Lord Zedd and his surprising new ally, or will their home fall into chaos for good?
Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:
“Mighty Morphin Issue 9 packs a lot of story into one issue, answering some questions I’ve had as a reader from early on in the beginning of the Unlimited Power arc. While not a super action-packed issue, this story delves into the consequences Billy has to face for lying to his team, the fallout of life after the dome surrounding Angel Grove and the imprisonment of Zelya/Candice at the hands of Lord Zedd.
All of this story is exactly what I had been wanting since my review of the last issue, and in rereading the past issues the 3-week time skip is no longer a problem for me.
As seen below, the preview tells another part of Zordon’s past as Zartus confers with a Bandorian to surround the Zeo Crystal with an incantation of the Fire of Truth. This explains more of the Zeo Crystal’s origins as seen in the episode ‘Master Vile and the Metallic Armor’. I love that we have an explanation of Bandora’s Palace from the sentai footage and what we already seen of the Zeo Crystal’s story in the Caves of Deception. More context to the lore of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will be explored in next month’s Mighty Morphin Issue 10 featuring the return of Dan Mora for that issue.
Writer Ryan Parrott delivers many excellent character moments and humor in this issue, touching on all of the main players and side characters. Artist Marco Renna keeps the dialogue heavy issue balanced with great set pieces, interesting close ups and angles, and detailed character art. Walter Baimonte’s (and team’s) colors are bright, with some color gradient backgrounds and fills sprinkled in to emphasize emotion of the character speaking.
Mighty Morphin Issue 9 sets the stage for next month’s lore focused issue with answers people have been waiting for. A must read if you have been keeping up to date!”

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!”
