Collects Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #107-110.
Enjoying this more than I expected that I would. Still not near touching Parrott’s run, but keeping me interested in the plot enough to keep reading. Still feels like Flores is trying to find her footing with this run though. Really enjoyed the Zordon issue though!
Okay, here’s the thing. This book actually wasn’t THAT bad! It’s a little unfair of me to be rating or reading this book in the first place.
I know nothing or next to nothing about the power rangers. I only have ONE other power rangers book and that’s the crossover they had with the Justice league. I used to play with some of their toys at my grandmothers house when I was really young. But I’ve never had a lot of exposure to them.
So this book was very confusing to me. At least at first. I think I was getting the hang of it more by the end. But even so… still a lot of questions! But, power rangers seem a lot cooler than I think I’ve ever given them credit for because of this book. I’m not mad I read it I wish I could read the context so I could fully enjoy this experience.
I found this at one of those trading library box things (ifykyk) so that’s why it’s volume 3 and why I randomly own it. It was the first graphic novel I ever found in one of those things so I felt like I needed to take it.
Mistress Vile's crusade continues as we learn the true identity of her latest companion, and the Rangers scramble to deal with an evil Green Ranger (who doesn't love that trope?). Plus, developments beyond the stars as the Omega Rangers face problems of their own.
And everything ends with a nifty little rhyme, and we all know how much I love that.
I do wish these volumes weren't 4 issues long, but I should be used to that by now, I guess.
A lot of pieces are moving. Although the book isn't as solid as when Parrott was writing it, I am still enjoying it a lot. All the twists and turns are really well done.
