Jordan Jones Comic Reviews

All in all, Go Go Power Rangers #2 is an excellent continuation of the series inaugural issue. This is a fun, humorous take on the Power Rangers story that is more complex than the (awesome) art suggests. It fills in the blanks. This is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Overall, another great issue to a really solid series. We get some fun character moments in this one, and also are able to see the effects that these large-scale fights have on the community of Angel Grove. If it felt a bit anti-climactic in the end, the issue still left me with a big smile on my face. Something this series has tended to do.

Unfortunately, two Issues in, I'm still somewhat underwhelmed. The comic feels written by, and only for, diehardRobotech fans. If you go into this series as a longtime fan, I think there may be a lot to like here. If you are like me, hoping to get into the series by picking up the comics, you may be disappointed. Standing on its own, Issue #2 does little to slow the pace down for the sake of character development, and the characters themselves fall a bit flat, often speaking with cringey dialogue. The plot is going in an interesting direction, but that matters very little without compelling characters and dialogue.Again, it's tough to say if these character choices are purposeful, or just a result of lazy writing. Robotech started way back in the early '80s, and these characters and archetypes could simply be throwbacks to the era. If that doesn't bother you? If you are a fan of the early series? Dive in. There is possibly something here that newcomers won't readily see.
