Review of 'Mighty Morphin Vol. 1' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Ah, the plight of leadership.
This was an unexpected delight. I'm loving this relaunch(?), because even though it involves the same characters as the source material, we're off in uncharted territory doing new and different things. It's like the Power Rangers I knew have gone and aged up with me, giving me storylines I appreciate with characters I love.
We've got a mysterious Green Ranger (who isn't Tommy) doing mysterious Green Ranger things, a Power Rangers team led by the White Ranger, and some incredible backstory involving Zordon. The art is great, the jokes are funny (the panel with Zordon asking Billy for a bite of his sandwich made me laugh and share it with everyone), and it's just a fun read. My only quibble is that there's very clearly a hole in the story that's meant to be filled through reading a separate issue ([b:Power Rangers, Vol. 1|55711262|Power Rangers, …

I know why, but it just feels gimmicky and annoying in today's age of comics.
Highly recommend for Power Rangers fans.
