This is the issue that got me back into comics after a long hiatus. Being the standoffish maverick of the group was cool when there was only one in the group (i.e. Raphael in TMNT or Wolverine in the 90s X-Men), but when everyone decides they’re too cool to follow the rules they just become another jerk in a world already too full of them. This was the trend I saw in comic books and when Scott Snyder’s Batman punched his son in the face I had enough and stopped reading everything except Daredevil, dipping my toes back into comics here and there but never finding anything to bring me back until I read this. In a world where everyone is an “antihero”, it was so refreshing to see the moral character of the new green ranger, a good hear ted person that just wanted to do the right thing and was willing to make sacrifices to do so. When Matt’s dad gives him his half hearted support by telling him he can go plant trees or whatever, it was a call back to the original television series which has an episode where the power rangers were actually planting trees. As a kid I thought it was silly that someone with all that power would be doing something so menial but as I’ve matured I’ve come to realize it’s doing the little things that will make a difference in the long run. more

Mighty Morphin Issue: 5 Publisher: @boom_studios Writer: Ryan Parrott Artist: @marcorennaart Colorist: @lariato_corp , @sara.antonellini & Katia Ranalli Cover: @leeinhyuk Variant Cover: @elo8elo Letterer: @edukedw Under the leadership of Grace Sterling, Matt has revealed that he is the new Green Ranger! In this issue, we witness Matt’s first days as the Green Ranger and how this changed his life forever. Like the other Rangers, he quickly has to learn how to balance his normal teenage life as well as his new responsibilities as a superhero. Days into his Power Ranger career, Matt is already up against the wall as he, along with Grace Sterling and the rest of Promethea, are now trapped in the forcefield that surrounds Angel Grove. With the rest of the Power Rangers gone, Matt and Grace are Angel Grove’s only hope. They now let Angel Grove and the Power Rangers know his true identity and are rewriting the rules of the Power Rangers. This was a great issue that finally delivers us the new origin story of Matt, the new Green Ranger. Grace’s difficult past as a Ranger sets the stage for a very different sort of mentor relationship with Matt. I am all in on Grace Sterling at this point. I feel like she still holds some type of animosity towards Zordon after all these years. While she does things for the good of Angel Grove and the rest of the world, she also does things to seemingly piss off Zordon. She has been a great addition to the Ranger universe! Now with her own Ranger, it’ll be interesting to see how she leads Matt and how they plan to stop Zedd’s plan. Additionally, of course I can’t wait to see how pissed off Zordon is now that everything has come to light! The artwork continues to be amazing! I love collecting the Legacy Variant covers and this standard cover is awesome! Power Ranger books has some of the best artwork in all of comics!

As I stated in my review of the last issue, the new Green Ranger's identity was no surprise. This guy's been destined for this since his creation. But this issue gives us the story behind him and his short career so far. Sometimes I don't like Grace much. She's quite resentful and seems to think she knows everything that's best for everyone. Though, like Matt, she is an interesting expansion for the Rangers' growing world in comics. I wonder how long till Billy's role in this comes to light and what will happen then. That's the appeal of this series. Everyone was a 100% team player on the old show. Here there's more realism to the characters. I contibute that to its success.
