Another fine creation from an immensely talented creative force, after this issue I am excited for the future of this series. Read Full Review

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #104 is the best yet from writer Melissa Flores, who brilliantly continues Rita Repulsa's evolution from the campy villain-with-a-headache to full-fledged empress of evil. Read Full Review

She is the villain of the story, so it's only right that Mistress Vile/Rita Repulsa take a bigger spotlight as ‘Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'#104 flashes back to fill in all the gaps of how the space witch got a whole new bag of tricks. There is so much love and respect for the franchise clearly on these pages, as the world is deepened and so many elements of the past get a new coat of paint and life. Read Full Review

The regular story takes a break so that we can get some excellent, world-building backstory. This issue should be a treat for Power Rangers fans with all the cameos. Read Full Review

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has done wonders for its villains within the pages of the comics, and few have benefited from that more than Rita Repulsa. That's why it might be easy to assume that there's not as much left to explore with the character, but Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #104 wastes no time in putting that theory to bed. Read Full Review

With the debut of Rita Repulsa in her new Mistress Vile form there were a lot of questions as to how she became that. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #104 fully answers that question while digging more into the Power Rangers mythology. In the process we see how Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comics continue down a path of unknown using a lot of elements that are familiar to fans. This is definitely a must have for Power Rangers' fans. Read Full Review

I really like this story arc, however I am not really vibing with the art. Comparted to what we were used to I think it is not improvement from the last arc.

This issue answers a few questions for me, like whether this was indeed Rita and if so how she became what she now is and how her father fits into it all. It's a pretty informative issue for this arc. I was also impressed to see an appearance by the inept villains of the Turbo series (The absolute worst of all Power Rangers series) and they were actually interesting, not pointless and stupid. I don't know much about the villains of the Space series that followed either, but do know the Dark Specter that leads them is the source for much of the evil in the Universe at that point. It explains how Rita's power increased as it did (But there's no explanation to how she got her staff back though as I remember Zedd destroyed it before banishing her; I didn't think she got it back till they married). The next answer I'd like is to who the mysterious Vessel is. That will have to wait for another issue though. As for this one, it's another fine example of why this is currently one of the best comics out there. more
