Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

[Striderblack01]

Finally picked up the issues!
Still thoroughly enjoying MMPR and GGPR!!

On the Ranger Slayer:

spoilers:

So, because of the responses here, I've been racking my brain trying to think of plausible scenarios in which Kimberly might turn legitimately evil. The only one that stuck was Matthew dying and her blaming...everyone. Zordon, the Rangers, Drakkon, Rita - everyone. Essentially, she would be some kind of rogue ranger out for vengeance. ...and that's actually kinda badass. Regardless, I actually wasn't disappointed that it was spell. Despite the strong precedence for magic brainwashing in the series with Tommy and Rita, I was still surprised/delighted. It made sense to me.

On Shattered Grid:

I think Drakkon is awesome and a great villain.
He's been a lot of fun and I love what they're doing.

But I also feel like we need to start moving on now. Quickly.

Lot's of fun stuff character-wise this issue.

spoilers:

Poor Skull... Yay, Hyper-Force Team is involved! Grace's group being responsible for Terra Venture was a neat little continuity loop. That final shot of all the rangers gave me a little adrenaline boost. Zordon working with Rita...This could be fun.

Drakkon is okay. I feel Jason would have made a better Drakkon. A leader who was broken by his duty who in turn takes the control from a "limiting" Zordon and instill his version of order to protect a world he feels requires that oppression? I might've enjoyed that more.

While Tommy is the obvious choice for the "evil ranger" concept, I feel Jason would've been a more biting turn. Though the whole White Ranger/Green Ranger blend would've been a clash in design if that was the way they went.

Boom Studios now has a tv department

I'm wondering now if Hasbro will lend them PR in the future?

Not really comics related, but I found this pretty fun

[ariwl1]

This is like 90's era mash-up. All of the cheese. I love it. Hope Chun Li gets a ranger outfit too.

Damn, that's brutal just looking at the thumbnail. Megazord is totally trashed!

I binged through the new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series. Generally I've liked it. I had just finished watching the original Zyuranger, and I was left a little disappointed with that show (I really watched that just to see all the footage I missed as a kid).

I have to say Kyle Higgins really seems to have a vision with this franchise. It's a little darker with some aspects of the ongoing arc, but not really a huge jump. He just seems to know his audience I think. The Shattered Grid storyline has been interesting, but I have to say it is a little confusing with all the iterations of the rangers across the years of the franchises. Most characters I don't know, but it is what it is. I've still enjoyed the big picture. I think my favorite issue thus far was #20, which takes on the moon. I thought it was going to be a little boring a couple of pages in, but I was wrong.

The annuals weren't bad, but a lot of the short stories were largely "meh" to me. One regarding Finster was a little haunting. Now moving on to Go Go Power Rangers.

Well looks like I'm finally watching an episode of Ninja Steel.


Also comic related I was thinking are we just not following the present day Mighty Morphin team after Shattered Grid? Go Go is the original team but in the past and the main Mighty Morphin title will follow Ranger Slayer's new Hybrid team in Beyond the Grid.

I think a missed opprotunity was the end of each issue has a who's who of the Power Rangers team up until Ninja Steel-Beast Morphers so people who are unfamiliar get to see the different incarnations of Rangers. That would have been col to see, especially with different artists handling it.
