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.

Currently, Power Rangers is celebrating 28 continuous years on the air, making it one of the longest-running kids’ live-action series in television history, with nearly 900 episodes aired to date. Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the franchise celebrates its 28th season, “Power Rangers Dino Fury,” currently airing on Saturdays at 8 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon in the U.S.

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!”

COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 7

Leave a comment

On Wednesday, May 19th, Power Rangers Issue 7 will be released from Boom Studios. Our exclusive first look of this issue was shown last week.

POWER RANGERS #7 – The Omega Rangers and Drakkon are on the run in space, but they must find new allies if they want to defeat the Empyreals. But that means trusting someone they’re not sure is friend or foe if they are to save the universe. And then… there’s Drakkon.

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

“How much is the cost of life? How far will the Omega Rangers go to protect beings from the Empyreals? While this issue of Power Rangers starts off with a seemingly fun game, the rest of the issue has serious implications for the rest of the current arc which ties in nicely with the Mighty Morphin series. 

The Omega Rangers are in a tough position in this story after the discovery of the Empyreals next targeted planet. When the Omega Rangers have two mentor-type characters telling them that saving this planet might be a waste of time, they carry on because doing nothing means the death of many people. What follows is the start of another mini-arc in the journey of the Omega Rangers. We get some much needed updates in the issue, including the answer to a question many fans have been asking for since the end of Necessary Evil.

Writer Ryan Parrott continues to bring in elements and storylines from as far back as the first issues of Go Go Power Rangers. After 5 years of stories, this is rewarding for long time readers without being cumbersome for newer readers. But I would highly recommend newer readers to go back and catch up for a deeper understanding. Artist Francesco Mortarino delivers with crowded cityscapes, varied alien species and detailed line work that is highlighted by the vibrant colors of Raúl Angulo.

With elements of the Mighty Morphin storyline crossing over into this issue, I feel it’s only a matter of time before we get either another crossover with the two teams, or a large scale event that will impact both series.”
