Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Volume 4
It's little moments like that that really bring this whole thing together, you know?
This volume is the final battle both between Drakkon and The Coinless, as well as the Rangers and Rita.
And while I won't claim it's perfect, it's overall a very emotionally satisfying way to cap off the arc, as it contains both rather poignant character moments alongside the pacing of an intense action movie.
Really, I think perhaps the weakest point is the rather weird art direction at times. Like, the panel I ripped there isn't the worst, but it comes from a page that took me a sec to grasp exactly what the sequence was trying to convey; That being Drakkon dropping down from one of his ships onto the Falconzord.
The grand scale of everything going on really is what carries the whole volume though. From our heroes fighting against what seem to be impossible odds, to all the various different powers and spectacles on display. And where I felt it was most highlighted was in the issue that focused almost entirely on Zordon, featuring art by Daniel Bayliss.
That entire strip, while certainly nice in the melodrama of its writing, is really wonderful to go through just for the art and its direction alone. Bayliss perfectly captured the look and feel of a dreamscape and being a witness to the age old question of "what could have been." And I really dug how the story points out that the answer to that question won't always be a positive one. And all via the concept of a version of Zordon whose faith was misguided.
And of course, we can't end this without talking about the rather clever way inwhich the Blue Power Coin is used across both timelines, and in ways not really seen in
Power Rangers
before. Billy uses it to depower his foes, whereas Trini uses it to empower herself with the strength of her enemies. It's a really awesome sequence that got alot of notoriety back when this comic first dropped, to the point that Dragon Armor Trini became a playable character in
Battle for the Grid
.
Just, yeah. Had the comic ended here, I don't think I would've had much to complain about. But oh no, we are far from done...
