COMIC PREVIEW – Go Go Power Rangers Issue 23

This Wednesday, September 11th,  Go Go Power Rangers Issue 23 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

As the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers struggle to save Angel Grove from the fearsome War Bunny without Jason, the Blue Emissary forces the Red Ranger to confront surprising villains from his Shattered Grid past and shocking Necessary Evil future—kicking off the events that will result in the creation of a brand new team with a secret mission to save the galaxy—the Omega Rangers!

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

“When the cover for this issue was first previewed a couple months back, it created quite the stir in Ranger Nation. Was Drakkon really returning? Would he suddenly become the main focus of the comic again? Thankfully, this issue puts that concern to rest.

There is no doubt that last year’s Shattered Grid event continues to impact the Power Ranger’s multiverse. What makes this issue great is the way revelations are handled for Jason, as well as the readers.

Go Go Power Rangers walks the fine line of explaining future events we see in Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers and creating a story that works as a standalone. One can easily read both series in a chronological progression, as well as reading each issue as they come out.

In this particular issue, even though we see characters introduced from the main MMPR series, there are still a few surprises that hint at the future of that comic. Teases like that can only happen if the writers have story lines planned out well in advance. Writers Ryan Parrott & Sina Grace do this in fine fashion with the last few pages of this issue.

Necessary Evil continues to deliver with intrigue, and every month I am left wanting more. Don’t miss this issue!”

COMIC PREVIEW – Go Go Power Rangers Issue 22

This Wednesday, August 14th,  Go Go Power Rangers Issue 22 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

Faced with the terrible consequences of a war they cannot remember, the Power Rangers are left to pick up the pieces of Shattered Grid, but the effect on the Morphing Grid may be more than they can handle. When put to the test, what will they choose—the world, or their team?

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

With the cliffhanger of the last issue, readers were left wondering how Go Go Power Rangers would tie into the overall arc of Necessary Evil. After last month’s release of MMPR Issue 41, we got an answer when the Blue Emissary was revealed as the Omega Rangers’ mentor.

Much like the Shattered Grid event from last year, Go Go Power Rangers serves to give context and background for the events happening in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It’s this duality that makes reading these comics a lot of fun.

Once again writers Ryan Parrott & Sina Grace deliver snappy dialogue and emotional weight after the events of Tommy losing his Green Ranger powers. A line about an enemy mentioned in MMPR 41 becomes the main villain for this issue of Go Go. The return of another character makes things even more interesting for one of our heroes.

Go Go Power Rangers isn’t simply a companion comic, it’s essential reading.

COMIC PREVIEW – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 41

This Wednesday, July 24th, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 41 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

The all new covert team of Power Rangers has been revealed – and it’s Jason, Zack, Trini, and a BRAND NEW RANGER joining them to form the OMEGA RANGERS! But who is this all-new Power Ranger? Where did they come from? And why are the Omega Rangers hiding their existence from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?

As the secrets behind their mission – as well as their deception of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers – are revealed, a deadly new threat, summoned from the depths of space by Lord Zedd, arrives on Earth with only one mission…take out the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, once and for all!

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

After last month’s “to be continued” page reveal, I was wondering if we would get answers to this new team of Omega Rangers. Well, I am wondering no more since Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 41 completely focuses on Jason, Trini and Zack as the Omega Rangers!

At San Diego Comic Con, Boom! Studios displayed three Omega Ranger helmets ahead of this issue’s release. To see them in this issue of the comic together with the suit is really impressive. That also describes this whole issue.

We’re quickly thrown into the new universe that Jason, Trini and Zack find themselves in. New alien locations are shown, new side characters are introduced. It feels natural and a bit chaotic, but in a good way, as writer Ryan Parrott leaves us with even more questions. After reading the issue, I want to find out even more.

There are definitely a couple surprises that readers will not want to miss. I was wondering how Necessary Evil would tie into both series of the Power Ranger’s comics. Go Go Power Ranger’s Issue 21’s ending definitely informed what was going on in this issue. I like that both series play off of each other much like last year’s Shattered Grid event.

With Ryan Parrott writing for both series, the level of cohesion in the story really works for me. In addition to the Dan Mora story covers, it feels like all of pieces of the puzzle will come together by the end of this arc. I think this will keep readers guessing and wanting more.

The art from Daniele Di Nicuolo continues to impress. During Shattered Grid, he quickly became my favorite artist in the entire comic series. I was elated that he came back for Necessary Evil. For this issue in particular, the fights and morphs are filled with kinetic energy and the detail is very well done.

Colorists Walter Baiamonte and Katia Ranalli make this new alien universe vibrant and colorful, bringing to life Daniele’s fantastic artwork.

With Danye from the previous issue and the new worlds and aliens in this story, the universe of the Power Rangers continues to expand. One of the things I liked about the “Zordon Era” of the tv series was the universe building they managed to achieve. This issue expands that concept to another level and makes it a must read.
