COMIC PREVIEW – Mighty Morphin Issue 2

By | |
1 Comment

On Wednesday, December 9th, Mighty Morphin Issue 2 will be released from Boom Studios.

Two New Series. Two New Teams. The UNLIMITED POWER ERA continues as shocking secrets of The New Green Ranger are revealed! Zordon enlists Billy’s help as the Mighty Morphin team deals with a shocking betrayal by the Power Rangers team. As the Mighty Morphin team remains fractured, Zedd launches his latest attack – and only The New Green Ranger stands in his way. But none of them realize they’ve walked into a trap, courtesy of Zedd’s new powers!

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

“After the events of Power Rangers Issue 1, the Mighty Morphin’ team are left without Drakkon and a mystery on their on hands. Can their old friends be trusted? As seen in the preview, Mighty Morphin Issue 2 echoes the first issue in the series with a past look at 10,000 years ago and a discussion in the Command Center. Readers are treated into a peak into Eltar society with the Elders conferring with the new Supreme Guardian of Eltar, Zophram.

There is an interesting discussion about protecting the universe versus protecting one’s own homeworld. This calls back to the argument Tommy and Trini had last month in Power Rangers 1. The mention of Dark Specter alludes he was as much as a threat in Zordon’s past as he was as seen in Power Ranger in Space.

In the command center, Zordon commands that essentially a galactic all points bulletin be put out for the Omega Rangers. This has the potential to set up a ‘The Fugitive’ style story in the other series.

The rest of the issue, which we won’t spoil here, sets up another obstacle for the Mighty Morphin’ team and definitely more potential internal team conflict next month. The conversations earlier in the issue after the preview, definitely set up the sides. Were the Omega Rangers right to break Drakkon stop a larger threat? Could the Mighty Morphin team got the information from Drakkon a different way?

There’s a battle later on this issue which will signal a character’s true intentions on where they stand to the rest of the team, but only if they were paying attention. Aisha certainly has been paying attention lately…

Writer Ryan Parrott continues to weave an interconnected tale across both books. Even though the Omega Team is now off of Earth, the affects of their actions continue to reverberate in this issue. Honestly, this issue wouldn’t make sense without reading Power Rangers Issue 1, and vice versa. It’s definitely a reason to pick up both series, which for long time readers is not that big of an ask. For newer readers, it will take more work than they may realize if they missed the previous two series.

My one wish, especially for last month’s first issues would have been a recap or ‘Previously on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ for new readers who may be picking these up for the first time or have missed the past year or two since Shattered Grid.

Artist Marco Renna continues to impress with great character art and action. He carries the mantle from Shattered Grid and Necessary Evil artist Daniele Di Nicuolo with ease. New enemies (teased in the credits) are designed by Dan Mora, and I am glad that Dan is still involved with the franchise and is able to keep a consistent design style with Rangers and what he did on Go Go Power Rangers.

Overall, this issue continues to build the story and intrigue. The slower pace might be a little slow for those anxious to find out the identity of the New Green Ranger, but I think if you remain unspoiled it could pay off. Adam might be on to something…”

COMIC REVIEW – Mighty Morphin Issue 1

By | |
4 Comments

On Wednesday, November 4th, Mighty Morphin Issue 1 will be released from Boom Studios. A couple of weeks ago we got the first look of this new era for Power Rangers comics.

A new Mighty Morphin team has assembled to take on the deadliest threats to Earth – but who is the All New Green Ranger by their side? The new Mighty Morphin team is on a collision course with an even deadlier Lord Zedd, who has a new mission and a new motivation – one that will change everything you thought you knew about our heroes! But even if the Mighty Morphin team can find a way to survive Zedd and their mysterious new enemies, they may discover the greatest threat to their future is the shocking secret of Zordon’s past! A new Mighty Morphin epic begins here, perfect for longtime fans and new readers alike.

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

“A ‘new era’ of Power Rangers comics is finally here with the launch of two new titles this month, Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers. With the exciting grand entrance of a new Green Ranger, the finale of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Issue 55) left us with more questions than answers.

This month the mystery continues with a final page reveal that will leave fans stunned, albeit not the answer they may have wanted, but didn’t know they needed. You’ll definitely want to go back and reread some past moments featuring the characters involved. The clues found will let you know that this plot point has been in the works for awhile.

Before all of that, this issue starts off with a familiar story structure by writer Ryan Parrott, a flashback. Flashbacks at the beginning of every issue during his run of Go Go Power Rangers helped to inform the current story while giving readers insight into their favorite characters. In past solicits for future issues, we know that this new arc will focus more on Zordon and his past. There are some great personal moments for Zordon in this issue, showing emotions that we rarely saw from the character in the series. I welcome the return of this structure, echoing Parrott’s comments about slowing the book down in our last interview.

For the Rangers side, all of them have great moments discussing the mystery surrounding the new Green Ranger. As a reader, it’s fun to see them speculate and make comments about their friends, when we know otherwise. You can see where Ryan Parrott is setting up potential future conflict.

On the art side, Marco Renna’s clean style reminds me of Daniele di Nicuolo’s art from Shattered Grid and Necessary Evil. BOOM! Studios continues to get very talented artists that keep the visual continuity strong for Power Rangers. Art-wise this issue is a perfect mix of conversation and action to show off Renna’s skills going forward.

Overall, Mighty Morphin Issue 1 continues the mystery of the last arc and opens up the Power Rangers universe a little bit more. I am looking forward to upcoming conflicts and seeing more of the new Green Ranger.”

COMIC REVIEW – Drakkon New Dawn Issue 3

By | |
Leave a comment

On Wednesday, October 28th, POWER RANGERS: Drakkon New Dawn Issue 3 will be released from Boom Studios.

FINAL ISSUE! After a devastating loss to the enemy, Kimberly and the remaining Power Rangers must rally their remaining forces in a final stand against Lord Drakkon’s cruel world-ending contingency plan. The Rangers will take on an enemy never before seen in Power Ranger history!

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

“What happens to a world split between warring factions? In the face of a much greater evil, can people put aside their differences and work together for a common purpose? Do our past traumas define who we are now?

The final issue of Drakkon New Dawn answers these questions, while leaving a couple more questions on the table. The final panels of this miniseries definitely open up the possibility for more adventures in the world of The Coinless…. sorry, The Shattered. They may have been shattered as a people in the course of the mini-series, but they are not completely broken.

Throughout the issue there is a sense of hope to what the core of Power Rangers should be. How we can be at our best working together as a team. Being a Power Ranger is more than just having powers or a fancy suit. Many characters in this issue learn that lesson, and it almost feels like the episode of Power Rangers In Space, ‘Countdown to Destruction’. Fitting since there is a similar structure in this issue, but with a multiverse twist. The issue also gives off that feeling of triumph and hope, much like Bulk and Skull declaring themselves as Power Rangers in ‘Countdown…’.

This story was never just about Kimberly coming back home to find her place, but how a world on the brink of destruction can still have a chance to heal and rebuild. Very reflective of the state of the world now, and as a commentary – it’s fitting. If there is ever another chance to revisit this part of the Power Rangers universe, I hope that we get more messages like this.”
