VR Troopers #1

One issue down, and this story is amazing. Getting to see these characters I'm used to seeing in Power Rangers Prime getting a solo series is so refreshing. These next 5 issues are going to be fun and interesting to read. Read Full Review

Ryan Steele may work for a corrupt regime, but it's the only one he knows. VR Troopers #1 reveals why the Eltarian Empire made Power Rangers into fugitives and transformed Ryan and his colleagues into pop culture heroes. Read Full Review

Thanks to the creative team on Power Rangers Prime, the VR Troopers recently made a shocking return after decades of inactivity. These fan-favorite characters play in heavily to the alternate universe story in which Earth was colonized by the Eltarian Empire (Zordon's race from Power Rangers). Despite playing the antagonists in that series, we are treated to a new ongoing book that expands the VR Troopers' story and seamlessly modernizes it for a new audience. The creative minds at Boom! Studios have taken everything they learned from their incredible work on their various Power Rangers titles and have applied it to the world of VR Troopers. I loved seeing how elements from the original show have been integrated into this new iteration, and the creative choice to leverage this property in conjunction with the newly established Prime universe makes it even more intriguing. Nostalgia can be a powerful thing, but this new incarnation of VR Troopers easily stands on it's own as a solid rel Read Full Review

VR Troopers #1 is a very good start to this spinoff that builds on the new continuity created by the Power Rangers Prime series. Every member of the cast is well positioned as protagonists while not breaking away from how they have been portrayed thus far.

Studios Power Rangers make sure to pick up this comic book. Read Full Review

This issue surprised me, both in its contents and in their quality, and I'm happy to say that I was wrong about whether a VR Troopers spinoff could work in the new reality of Angel Grove. It's a strong story, with some bold choices in the art, and well worth a look. Read Full Review

This feels more like a quickie spin-off to bank on the brand name than an actual, well-thought-out sister series to Power Rangers Prime. Read Full Review

After rewatching VR Troopers thru both Roku & Tubi. It was nice to get reacquainted with the show before heading into issue one. With that including what we got already with both Power Rangers Prime & the FCBD issue. Felt like this was a nice teaser for future things to come. Especially if this has any sort of twists going forward you expect taking place in an alternate universe to spice things up. Hopefully this issue already getting a 2nd Printing one week later after initial release is a good sign for the future of VR Troopers, PRP & potentially other “heroes” at Boom Studios.
