Major Power Rangers Post-Shattered Grid comic shakeups revealed
- Thread starter jwk94
- Start date
The whole series, even with rotating artists, has kept a very high quality bar. I've been super impressed and there are many pages and covers I'd love to just frame on my wall.
It's been a perfect blend of dynamic action, great staging, and bold colors that makes everything just pop off the pages.
Yup, crazy how consistently good it stays throughout.The whole series, even with rotating artists, has kept a very high quality bar. I've been super impressed and there are many pages and covers I'd love to just frame on my wall.

You don't need to at all, it adds a tad to some of the enjoyment of certain points but isn't necessary.

Not really. As long as you know who the rangers are and the general premise, you'll be fine. If you've seen season 1 up to the green ranger introduction that's all you need for mmpr.
If you're reading go go, all you need to do is watch the first episode.
They're fairly standalone and anything you need to know they do a good job of catching people up on. I'd even say the show itself serves more as a basis for this more modern take. It's both adaptation of the show as well as evolution of it.
It delves FAR deeper into the Rangers and their personalities, histories, families, social circles, responsibilities, youth, insecurities, and strengths than the original show (which I admittedly adored as a kid) ever did. It all feels so very organic, their development natural, and the monster encounters both inventive, threatening, and satisfying.
They're pretty much their own continuity, but much of what you read could fit between or alongside episodes of the show.
But this is definitely a modern interpretation. It takes place in the modern day with cell phones and twitter. Rita the villain is far more threatening and intimidating. Other factors like governments and police forces are involved. It's bigger and better than the show ever was.

Thanks for the answers! The art is really good and the characters seem interesting, so I think I'll see if I can find these somewhere.
You had my curiosity, now you has my attention
Love how they keep the live action show consistent in that only kim has the skirt
Man I still can't get over how dope Trini looks lol.
If your not reading it you need to be! It's excellent.

Well, I picked up my first MMPR comics this evening. Didn't even know there was a Go Go Power Rangers comic as well. D:
That one seems more appealing for several reasons, one being it has less issues to keep up with. ha
Where did you get the cover with gold zero, yellow mighty morphin, red rpm, blue space and pink spd?
I found it at a local comic shop around me. I just got everything they had since any issue under $5 was only $1 and issues at $10 or over (like this, which is apparently an annual) were 50% off.
This thread got me curious to check this stuff out. If anyone has a Comixology Unlimited sub, that has MMPR Vol. 1-4 and the first four issues of GGPR to read.
Definitely gonna check this out myself, just wanted to help out others who are curious!
Someone mentioned the comixology sub? Or maybe wait for a big sale from a comic outlet and buy the volumes then?
I'm not in the US so a sub is not ideal for me. I can VPN to access and have tried to but don't accounts have the potential to get banned?

Better look at Solar Ranger attacking the rangers in the MMPR 32 cover. Didn't notice this before, but I like how Mike's using his sword to keep himself from being blown away.

It's all great, folks. It may well be one of the best comics going at the moment, superhero or not. Having followed this wild ride since the start, I'm excited and terrified about the end of Shattered Grid next week.
Fully agree with the person who said it's the show as we imagined it as kids. The main stuff is all great, but my personal favorite story so far is "The Sweetest of Dreams" from the 25th Anniversary book which focused on Mystic Force of all things. It's written by Mags Visaggio and it's real good.

That story was pretty good. My favorite one off has been The Trial of Astronema. I need more of that.

Who is the person with the cape in the MMPR 32 cover, in the top right corner? Have they shown up in the book yet?
The Ranger Slayer (anymore would be a spoiler), and their story is being told in the Go Go Power Rangers part of Shattered Grid.

Yep! That's Ranger Slayer.
She's Kim from Drakkon's universe. She ties Go Go Power Rangers into the Shattered Grid events.
Netflix needs to honestly order a animated show of Power Rangers.
Season 1 -> Go Go Power Rangers, season finale Tommy shows up
Season 2 -> Green Ranger arc
Season 3/4 - > Lord Drakon/Shattered Grid/Ranger Slayer
Season 5 -> Beyond the Grid
Hasbro would probably end up selling more toys as well.

Honestly, I think go go and mmpr should be separate series. Both of them are way too good to shorten either series.
I agree but considering the fact we don't even have one animated show yet I can't see us getting two lol. Hopefully. It would be dope. Adults and kids would tune in.
If you're referring to the White Tiger Ranger, I dont think it would help. Drakkon has those powers bluntly forced together with his Dragonzord power.
on top of samurai, zero and a slew of others just recently... dont forget this story takes place shortly after Tommy joined the team and waaaaay before Zedd, and with Tonmy dead and Drakkon not giving them time, theres no white ranger candidate
White Ranger was designed to give them an edge over Rita's greatest tool, the Green Ranger and now hes surpassed both Green and White
(hell, he's surpassed Red Ranger with dragon armor and battelizers now)
The White Ranger powers are from Drakkon's universe. Zordon has yet to create them in this universe.
It would be neat if they copied the Coinless universe and gave them to Jason.
Hey I'm a big Jason fan, okay?
But seriously though, Tommy comes back if Pink is still canon

Well time travel complicates things
Also Future Punished Kimmy giving Tommy a "second chance"

I can't wait to read this. I wish the volumes came out quicker. I'm going have to switch over to individual issues.
Edit: Hasbro would be leaving to much money on the floor if they weren't considering adapting these comics into animated shows via Netflix. I said it before the comics themselves could act as storyboards for a show. Add or subtract as needed but let them be the base and foundation for a show.
The art is so good, and I just noticed that, despite switching colors, all the Rangers have an outline of their ORIGINAL colors around them. Very cool.Go Go Power Rangers will also have a shakeup after it returns in October 2018 (September's issue will be a "summer break" one shot)

Solar Ranger indeed looks like it's from Kyurangers, at least the helmet.
Comics would be a nice way to introduce Goranger to Jetman teams to the grid :p

Boom released a preview of the Go Go Power Rangers: Back to School #1 one-shot. Preview includes all three covers (which we've already seen) as well as textless for some of the pages.
This issue is out September 19th.
Note: Since Dan Mora's artwork is now for the covers only, we don't know what the new issues will look like. Regardless, the art by the various people who contributed to the stories in this issue is really nice. I wouldn't mind if some of these people came back and stayed after the next artist shift.
Note 2:
Marguerite Bennett wrote these stories, so this will be our first look at her style before Beyond the Grid comes out.

Synopsis:
It's Spring Break for the Rangers, and the first time since they received their Power Coins that the Rangers will be apart. As they each embark on their own week-long vacation, these teenagers with attitude discover that being a hero doesn't always mean having to morph!

I recall reading that Toei is staunchly against having Power Rangers animated and is a condition upon using the stock footage. Because I remember reading Disney was going to do something animated but Toei said otherwise.
