I can't believe I'm reviewing a Mighty morphin Power motherfucking Rangers comic but here we are. After the movie that came out last year (I think) it seems like Power Rangers is back in the spotlight. Here, Kyle Higgins (Writer for Nightwing) comes in and gives us the heroes we all grew up with (or least I did) and kind of a modern day retelling with the same cheese and everything. The green ranger, Tommy, is having terrible visions. On top of that Rita, the evil bitch, is here to really stir u...

Tommy Oliver has escaped Rita Repulsa's mind control. Now with the rest of the Power Rangers, they fight to protect Angel Grove. But is everything has it seems and can the Rangers trust their newest and unpredictable ally?The Mighty Moprhin Power Rangers are back! The Power Rangers come from a very rich history. Their origins hail from Japan. The Super Sentai is originally what the Power Rangers were called before they were Americanized. The Power Rangers has seen many iterations from tv shows t...

I loved Mighty Morphin Power Rangers when I was a kid in the early ‘90s. I loved dinosaurs, robots, monsters, martial arts, weapons, magic, and somehow the Power Rangers had all of that smooshed together into each 20 minute episode! So while I don’t think much of Kyle Higgins (New 52 Nightwing, COWL) as a writer, I can’t really blame him for failing to come up with a coherent story for the new Power Rangers comic given so many bizarre elements to work with! The only Power Rangers storyline I rem...

GO GO POWER RANGERS! DA DA DA GO GO POWER RANGERS! If you grew up in the 90s you know this kid show jingle. I was not as much of a fan of the show as my little brother. Hey brothers play together, share things and at times this means TV time. Power Rangers was very cheesy by today standards. I mean they were a bunch of motorcycle helmet multicolored spandex wearing super heroes that fight Godzilla size monsters in a giant robot. They knew martial arts which in the 90s with ninja turtles and Batm...

Power Rangers were a really fun part of my childhood, and one of the rare things my brother and I shared as kids. This was like diving right back into those old silly episodes. That might sound patronizing, but it was really more like a warm blanket. The characters aren't quite the same in this version, but they resemble their 90's selves closely enough to be friendly and recognizable. The plot was a great dive into what it realistically (yes, I said it) might have been like to be Tommy, Zach, a...

Oh, the nostalgia!Back in the day, the Power Rangers reigned supreme; so much so that my church even had a VBS with skits based on the show. I still remember one time when someone I knew--I try not to name names online, but I will say that it was not either of my parents--didn't want me to watch those "mighty morphin'" heroes because, "That show makes you do weird things!" Though that person and I have both matured since then, I enjoy the franchise to this day, and part of it is because I'm pret...

I was recommended this by several friends who said I didn't need to know anything about the show to enjoy it. So when I had an unused borrow from Hoopla at the end of the month, I decided to finally take the plunge. This thing is not new reader friendly at all. It takes place during some episodes from the show (that I gleaned from reading other reviews) after the Green Ranger, Tommy, had turned on Rita and became a Power Ranger. It has to do with Rita still influencing Tommy and trying to subver...

Weak and meandering. Maybe too beholden to the source material? A 21st-century Power Rangers reboot requires camp. This attempt to be a character piece on Tommy's struggle with identity and belonging was doomed before it began.

I loved Power Rangers as a kid (the original, not any of the follow-ups, mind you!), so I was eager to jump on this comic for a while. Reading it was a nostalgic experience - there were a lot of things in the book that I remembered from the show, and the creators don’t shy away from all the original weirdness. The story itself also had a lot of great moments regarding the relationships between the characters and the meaning of teamwork - all things that I think the original show prioritized. The...

Solid entry into the story. Reminded me of why I enjoyed it as a kid. Wacky goofy and campy but had the same elements of the 90s. Shades of a similar story. Will give Vol 2 a go.

Good volume Very good read. This volume captures the feel of MMPR, but brings it into modern times. I look forward to seeing more of this series going forward.

Oh the nostalgia...This modern iteration of the classic teamup of Rangers was excellent from start to finish. I haven't watched the tv show, but have viewed the movie many times. This was kind of like an prequel story to all of that. I really enjoyed the art, the humor, and the classic characters.I am definitely going be continuing as I've heard big things about issue #26.

I was probably a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fan when I was six, but I'll be honest, I've not really thought about them in 25 years. Then I saw that this series had picked up some strong reviews on Goodreads and elsewhere and, well, I figured I'd see what all the hubbub was about.Ultimately...I wasn't disappointed. Wasn't super enthused either. "Better than I expected" is the concise version of this review. This volume focuses on the Green Ranger, who has recently returned to the fold after bei...

It was nice to take back a little piece from my childhood. I really enjoy it and I think that it is a great start to this saga. Probably I would continue reading these comics.

This starts in just after Tommy has turned on Rita Repulsa and become the Green Ranger, but it really fleshes out the storyline more, with Tommy showing some insecurities both around becoming a Ranger, making friends with the others and his fighting abilities...and all the while Rita still has slight control over his mind, planting seeds of discord and causing Tommy to have hallucinations that put him and the group in danger whie in combat. All of the characters also have way more depth here, an...

Power Rangers was a big part of childhood for my cousins, brother, and me (I can't remember most of it but that's due to my crappy memory more than anything else). My one cousin's favorite was the Yellow Ranger, my brother's was Red, and Jessica and Me both loved the Pink Ranger (Hers was the gymnastics and Pink being her favorite color then while I mostly loved her for the gymnastics part and that she could kick butt). Tommy was my favorite after awhile though (and my first crush on a fictional...

Very meh, just not my thing. Then again it's been ages since I saw the original TV episodes this ties to and I was never obsessive with MMPR to begin with! I am going to still read the Pink Ranger solo comic though, just cause I'm curious.

I am not a comic/graphic novel person, try as I might, but damn this was amazing. I LOVED this and I can't wait to get home and read volume 2. This has the updates of the current times, but still has the same tone and feel of the original 90s show and it's perfect. I think I need to just own these and also go start the tv series over from the beginning...again.

Oh this was fun! I’m sure that nostalgia plays at least some part in that, but this is a really solid title. It does help to come into it knowing a bit from the original tv series. Kyle Higgins does a great job of recreating the characterizations and dynamics from the show, while also trying to improve them in translation. The show was aimed at little kids, and the comic is going for something a little more grown up. The only character that seems a little off is Zach. He comes across as angry wi...

[Read as single issues]The original Power Rangers are back, and it's Morphin' Time in their new ongoing series! This first volume looks to collect issues #0-4, the first arc that reintroduces us to Jason, Trini, Billy, Kimberly, Zack, and of course, Tommy as they battle against Rita Repulsa and her attempts to take over the planet without getting a headache.Focusing on the area that the TV show didn't really spend much time on, the comic is set just after the Green With Evil arc, so Tommy's stil...
