Power Rangers: Drakkon-New Dawn Issue: 2 Publisher: @boom_studios Writer: Anthony Burch Artist: @simoneragazzoni Colorist: @raul_angulo_art Cover: @junggeun_yoon Foil Cover: @montesgoni Letterer: @edukedw This issue immediately picks up following the events of the debut issue. Following her shocking discovery in Lord Drakkon’s prison tower, Deadlock, Kimberly accidentally triggers Lord Drakkon’s failsafe plan. A message has been sent deep into space that could bring an enemy that is even more powerful than Lord Drakkon himself. After Kimberly discovers the surprising identity of the mysterious armored Ranger, she hopes that he helps her as she must rally her new army and well as make questionable alliances in order to save her world from this new threat. This second issue really picks up as we are treated to shocking twists including the return of a fan favorite character. I do have to correct myself from my previous review of the first installment of this series. As the first issue ended, I was extremely excited to see a fan favorite villain known as Ecliptor. However, I was wrong, it’s actually Eclipta, which seems to be of the same species as Ecliptor and yet another original creation from Boom! Studios! While, I am a little disappointed that it wasn’t Ecliptor, Elcipta is pretty awesome as she seems to be the herald of Dark Spector! It reminds me so much of the Silver Surfer and Galactus. This issue pushed Kimberly into the forefront as far as putting on display her leadership which I can appreciate. It’ll be interesting to see how she leads as her decisions are going to be scrutinized and challenged. Of course I have to mention, Jason! What?!? The artwork throughout the issue is kind of weird and off in my opinion. It’s unfortunately a step back from the consistent amazing artwork these Ranger books have had up to this point. Goñi Montes’ gives us yet another amazing foil cover and is a true delight for fans. Will Dark Spector make an appearance?!? I can’t want to finish this mini-series!

This issue is better than #1, but I'm still not too impressed. It makes too many references to the "In Space" series, which I'm not really a fan of. If they continue following the Drakkon dimension after this, I doubt I'll stick along for the ride.
