COMIC REVIEW – Mighty Morphin Issue 1

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.”

The POWER RANGERS: UNLIMITED POWER Era Begins with POWER RANGERS #1 From BOOM! Studios
Two New Series. Two New Teams. A New Beginning For All Power Rangers Is Here!

LOS ANGELES, CA (July 14, 2020) – BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), today announced a brand new series, POWER RANGERS from superstar writer Ryan Parrott (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and acclaimed artist Francesco Mortarino (Firefly: The Sting), launching in conjunction with the brand new Mighty Morphin series. Two New Series. Two New Teams. The Era of UNLIMITED POWER begins HERE — and only Lord Drakkon, their greatest enemy, can save the Power Rangers!

POWER RANGERS #1 reveals a new cosmic threat that only the original Power Rangers, now known as the Omega Rangers – Jason, Trini and Zack – can hope to defeat! But their secret weapon is… the villainous Lord Drakkon?! Zordon forbids the Omega Rangers from contacting Drakkon, so if they want to save the universe then they’ll have to go rogue – and go up against their Mighty Morphin allies.

New York Times bestselling author Ryan Parrott is a comic book and screenwriter based out of Los Angeles. A graduate of Chapman University, Parrott has written for television series NBC’s Revolution and Hulu’s Chance. Parrott is also known for his work on DC Comics’ Batman: Gates of Gotham, IDW’s Star Trek comic book series, including Starfleet Academy, Boldly Go, and Manifest Destiny, Dynamite’s Death to the Army of Darkness, and his creator-owned projects Volition, Oberon, and Dead Day with Aftershock Comics. He is currently the writer for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with BOOM! Studios.

“We’ve spent several years building out the Power Rangers comic book universe and continuing the adventures of the Omega Rangers gives us a chance to fully explore it beyond the confines of the show. Not only can we add more heroes and villains but we can also bring in elements from future seasons viewed through the lens of familiar characters,” said Parrott. “It’s very exciting to explore new corners of the Power Rangers universe that fans have always imagined – and also never expected!”

Francesco Mortarino is an Italian cartoonist who graduated from the Comics School of Milano. He started working at Sergio Bonelli Editore on the comic series Nathan Never and made his US comics debut on Jupiter’s Circle for Image Comics, soon working on other projects like Dungeon & Dragons: Evil at Baldur’s Gate for IDW. Mortarino has worked on high profile BOOM! Studios series including Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Firefly: Bad Company.

“A year and a half ago, I helped illustrate Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers #33, and now I’m drawing the first issue of the new POWER RANGERS series! I’m very proud to be a part of this new era with Ryan and BOOM! Studios,” said Mortarino. “I know that many readers are waiting to see where the new team’s adventures will take them. As a fan myself, I can’t wait to show everyone exactly what I’ve been working on. It’ll blow your minds!”

Currently, Power Rangers is celebrating 27 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.

The hit comic book series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers launched in 2016 at BOOM! Studios, outselling nearly every other comic book in its month of release. The series went on to launch numerous hit spin off series like Go Go Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The series concludes in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #55, on-sale in October, which also features the first appearance of the All New Green Ranger.

“Lord Drakkon is back but will he save the Power Rangers…or does he have a darker plan in mind?” said Dafna Pleban, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. “Introducing the Omega Rangers allowed us to reveal a huge piece of Power Rangers history – and POWER RANGERS #1 answer questions you never thought to ask!”
