Studios is currently available at your local comic shop and digitally through ComiXology and Amazon Kindle.Season 1: Jason Lee Scott - Zack Taylor - Billy Cranston - Trini Kwan - Kimberly Ann Hart - Tommy Oliver I wish all franchises got this kind of treatment. The creative team has built up such a tremendous body of work here that digs deep into these characters and gives us a larger appreciation for every single one of them. That doesn’t change the excitement Go Go Power Rangers has going for it. Sooner or later, Tommy Oliver is going to show up and we’ll start the unforgettable Green Ranger Saga. Overall, we know where this story is going. This planet is all but dead and it shows. This is now a desolate landscape, a pale imitation of the wonder and splendor we see at the beginning of the issue. While the Power Rangers are busy dealing with Finster’s latest creation, Stabasaurus Rex, in a flurry of action and color, Rita returns to her birthplace, looking for ways to unlock the powers of the Green Ranger coin. The book practically sizzles with electricity when you get to this point. Colorist Raul Angulo makes this page pop with each Ranger’s color filling a section of the page with such intense energy. Zack’s words are shown in a neutral, grey colored box, which certainly goes with his role as the Black Ranger, but also mirrors his current feelings.Ĭarlini delivers another amazing morphing shot that should be turned into a poster. Letterer Ed Dukeshire places caption boxes of this conversation over action-packed sequences. Knowing that he’s eventually the first one Rita seeks out to become the Green Ranger, as revealed in early issues of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, this serves as some nice foreboding. It’s continually impressive how Parrott is able to further develop characters that we thought we knew so well, showing additional facets to them and exploring what really makes them tick.Ī great example of this is a conversation between Zack and his guidance counselor about the stress he’s under. What follows is another solid book, packed to the brim with multiple plot threads, flying forward at a mile a minute. The comic sets a high bar right out of the gate, which has come to be expected of the series. I realized I’ve only been talking about the first three pages of Go Go Power Rangers #17. It implies a tone of possibility, which is fitting as we’re witnessing the birth of a child. The design for Rita’s mother, Fienna and Zordon have a similar flair, one part magical, one part medieval, and one part alien. This is unlike anything we’ve seen on Earth, mixing nature and technology in this cool futuristic style. This is a fascinating idea and, unsurprisingly, I’m eager to see where it goes next.Īrtist Eleonora Carlini, joined by inker Simona Di Gianfelice creates a vast, alien world in these first few pages. Imagine seeing the daughter of a close friend moments after she’s born, eventually grow up to become one of the most ruthless tyrants the universe has ever seen. Think of this from Zordon’s perspective for a moment. What is also interesting is that Zordon is one of the first people to visit, showing how deep the connection between these two runs. It’s implied that her father is up to no good, so perhaps that’s where Rita gets her mean streak from. This is pitch perfect as we see her as an innocent infant with her whole life ahead of her. Go Go Power Rangers #17 starts off in the beginning, over ten thousand years ago with Rita’s birth. Writer Ryan Parrott has already given us a new perspective on Rita’s henchmen, not to mention some incredible character development with the core team, so I cannot wait to see what he brings out in Rita. Where did Rita Repulsa come from? She’s always been depicted as a villainous witch, but was she always like that? Go Go Power Rangers is starting to dig into the background of one of the Rangers’ greatest foes and I am so very intrigued.
