Kind of a slow, catch you breath arc coming off of Shattered Grid.
Who knew there were other Alpha? Also who knew who Rita's parents actually were? Maybe I just don't remember from back in the day but this all came as a shock to me. We balance the storyline of Trin and Jason trying to "date" while all the others are also finding purpose in their life as teenagers dealing with life and school and being a power ranger. On top of that RIta makes some pretty big moves here and a lot of big reveals. Alpha 1 comes back from the past and he's basically Alpha 5 but a l...
Pausing the development of our main heroes, in order to give the villain backstory was genius giving more gravity to the plot.
This vol packed a punch! Rita's explosive origin combined with the unexpected appearance of Zordon's old ally, Alpha-1, was more than enough for this vol to stand out. Then the targeted attack on specific characters hit close enough to home for this to really seal the deal. This was clearly the greatest plot culmination in the series yet!The fight scenes were large and impactful and the ramifications were bigger than we'd ever known. Managing to not skimp on the character progression throughout
4.5/5 I enjoyed this volume because of the character development and world building depth the story managed to convey to its readers. We get to see Zordon in his pre-tube glory, a young Rita with her mother, an older Rita with a specter of her mother, the OG Alpha, and the grand-opening of the Angel Grove Juice Bar and Gym. I enjoyed how Zordon is portrayed as a complex man with doubts in spite of his great powers. Further, I loved that Rita is gaining some dimension as a villain. It would be ea...
Some very interesting backstory was explored for Rita and Zordon in this volume! The level of character development in this series is just so damn good!
I dug the added lore for Rita and Ernie's
This is awesome! Exploring story-lines and backstories that were not explored in the show.
This is a review for Go Go Power Rangers Volumes 4 and 5, since they're basically one long story split into two, the same way as volumes 1 and 2 of the series were. I'm also assuming Volume 5 includes the Forever Rangers one-shot that ties up the story.The focus on the early days of the Power Rangers continues here, as the team continue to feel out exactly what roles they play, as well as their relationships with each other, which blossom in some surprising ways.Meanwhile, writer Ryan Parrott gi...
In a phrase...A lot of plotlines laid out over year one begin to merge, we get some payoff between Kimberly and Matt, we get more of this crazed Alpha, we find out more about Rita's origins, and we prepare for the arrival of the Green Ranger.This series has been so morph-enomenal I can't wait to read these last few volumes.
I continue to adore both of the ongoing Power Rangers series from BOOM! Studios. The Go Go series focuses more on the non-actiony things like teenage drama and backstories to iconic characters. Rita's past is a big part of this volume. We meet Rita's mother and learn that she knew Zordon. Rita reminisces about her past as she tries to get the Dragon coin to work. The rangers are being affected by living a double life Zach's not doing well with his classes. The Jason and Trini relationship gets a...
This series is just consistently good! Once more expanding the Power Rangers universe we see further into Rita Repulsa's past, most notably with her mother, but we also get to see some of the skeletons in Zordon's cupboard - namely the return of the first Alpha robot: Alpha-1. Jason and Trini's blossoming relationship is also deservedly given some space.While we know the end is coming for this series (it was only ever meant as a bridge to the mainstream MMPR comic) it has been a solid example of...
Something that's been at the heart of the Boom comics titles? The deep-cuts to the lore. Zack's cousin Curtis gets mentioned here. Even die-hard fans would be pressed to name the exact episodes, or contexts where Curtis appeared on the show. But he's mentioned here. He exists. Remember Masked Rider? And how the Power Rangers served as that series' backdoor pilot? Yeah, Masked Rider exists in the comics, too. There's a respect to the source material here that's mind-boggling. Add in the way these...
Here is what I'm loving about these Power Rangers comics so far: They're taking the stories and concepts we're all familiar with as fans, and adding extensive layers of depth to them. Here, as in previous volumes, we see Rita Repulsa working towards activating the Dragon Power Coin. Obviously, this will eventually lead to the creation of the Green Candle, introduction of Tommy Oliver, Tommy's redemption, and will take us right to where we start off in the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers comics. Su...
This is the fifth volume collection of the outstanding Go Go Power Rangers comic and it is another amazing read. I am so glad I waited to really dive into this series as its been an amazing ride! This volume continues Rita's attempt to power up the green coin as she attempts to defeat the Power Rangers once and for all!
Great backstop for Rita and Zordon and AlphaI really like that we got to see Rita's mother and Alpha-1 in this volume. I like the betrayal in this one and I like that it puts everything in a grey area instead of plain black and white/good and evil.
We finally learn more about Zordon, Rita, and even Alpha's origins in this universe. We finally start learning about the comic version of Master Vile and his connections to Rita and Zordon. We meet Rita's mother which we never even knew her mother even in the original show.
this prequel series doesn't take itself as serious as the main series and is seriously lacking in interest as a result. I really worry about Parrott taking over and ruining the main comic.
I... love the Power Rangers.
