Staff Review
The essence of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is captured wonderfully here by Kyle Higgins and the artwork by Hendry Praseta is stunning while also being modern. The Power Rangers are drawn in modern clothing as opposed to throwing it back to the early 1990’s. While not much happens overall you get the feeling that this issue is setting up what comes next. This is a great starting point for new readers and for the new series. On top of that you can get some beautiful covers that look great on a display shelf or on your wall.
