Would be depressing if true. It was nice to finally see some Sentai get brought over here out of this franchise, but I guess they're just not that interested anymore...

That is a damn shame if it's true. Shout was great for DVD releases of both PR and Sentai. I hope Hasbro either renews the contract or continues the practice either through themselves or another company.

Stupid question. Are Sentai and Power Rangers not separate licenses? Does Hasbro own the rights to both?

That's not a stupid question. I'm sure there are plenty of people here who don't know either. (including me. then again, I live under a rock, so...)

As I understand it, they are different licenses, it was just that Saban had contracted Shout to sub Sentai specifically.

Does anyone have any strong feelings about the Power Rangers comics? As I've said before, I'm not really that attached to the franchise, but also don't feel poorly about it either. A couple of years ago, I played some game on the PS4, and I was super engaged with the idea of alternate universes, so I thought I might look at the comics, only I was a bit put off by the art style and the digital colours.
Is this a case of me being a curmudgeon, and writing something off for its aesthetic values, when there's actually a deep story to be found? I'd quite like a read with deep lore right now, as I sort of sense that Zenkaiger will not fill that need for me, but I must admit I am intimidated by how many of these comics there seem to be also. I don't know, I'm casting about for opinions before committing to reading in order to try and judge the general lay of the land from people who are fans of the franchise. |

As far as I can tell, the comics were fairly popular until about a certain point (the storyline that got turned into the game). After that, there’s a lot more heated discussion on the quality.

As for where you should start, it depends. If you wanna start at, well, the beginning, as well as having something a bit more light-hearted, I'd say start with Go Go Power Rangers which begins right at the start of the show and focuses almost entirely on the Core 5. With the run ending just a little bit past where Tommy joins the team. Meanwhile, if you're looking for something a bit more on the darker end of things, start with Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers which starts literally right after Tommy joins the Rangers and ends a little ways into MMPR Season 2. While Tommy does end up taking center stage after a little bit, it's nowhere near as bad was what some fans like to exaggerate. tl;dr Yes, please read both of those comics. I love them.

Thank you so much for this and for the thoughts about where to start, and for basically giving me the necessary push—I am opting to start with the lighter stuff, but I notice there was a Justice League crossover by Tom Taylor too?! I don't really read superhero books, but I really liked the way Taylor portrayed Constantine in Injustice, and this kind of crossover absolutely plugs directly into the kind of fic I want to write. Perhaps I can stop sulking about being uninspired now! Thank you once again! |
