Yep yep!
Yep yep!
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.I don't read comics and am not a power ranger fan, but the art work here is fucking great!
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.
It's been a perfect blend of dynamic action, great staging, and bold colors that makes everything just pop off the pages.
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.
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.

If you're reading go go, all you need to do is watch the first episode.

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.
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
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?
No problem! I'd double check to see what issues are included in those volumes first. Don't wanna rebuy stuff that you don't have to.
Edit
Go go volume 1 includes issues 1-4, so you need volume one and the issues 5-12.
Buying the first 5 volumes of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will get you issues 1-20, so you need to buy 21-30.
I really like the art. Short on money now though. Would buy them when I have extra money :(
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?Someone mentioned the comixology sub? Or maybe wait for a big sale from a comic outlet and buy the volumes then?
He's pretty much a loyal Knight, man.is anyone else a little disturbed by Drakkon and Finater-5s.... "relationship"

Nobody knows. For now, it looks like he's not coming.Havent been reading since Shattered Grid started.
Are we not getting an actual White Ranger? One that isnt evil and from another dimension lol?
That story was pretty good. My favorite one off has been The Trial of Astronema. I need more of that.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.
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.
MMPR 33 Cover
Eh, not really. Dude needed an alpha, so he got one.
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?
Yep! That's Ranger Slayer.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?
Honestly, I think go go and mmpr should be separate series. Both of them are way too good to shorten either series.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.

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
I can't wait to read this. I wish the volumes came out quicker. I'm going have to switch over to individual issues.
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)
OH shit, nice catch!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.
I didn't even catch that. Nice.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.
