STAFF REVIEW
Issue two starts off the trend in this series of opening the issue with a flashback to times before “Arrival Day”. These flashbacks give a greater depth to the lives of the teens before they were Rangers as well as the villains. One of the most appreciated aspects of this series is that writer Ryan Parrott calls out a clear timeline of events. Since the premise of the comic is to flesh out the time before Tommy joins the team after “Green With Evil”, this give the comic milestones the viewers can keep an eye out for.
One of the best moments in this particular issue is Jason and Trini testing the limits of the Power Rangers’ suits. It’s great to have these types of moments sprinkled throughout the series and to see events that we only imagined happened when watching the show.
