Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 25th Anniversary Special

A collection of short stories not just focused on MMPR, but various seasons across the Power Rangers timeline. This special is largely forgotten by the fanbase, and I find that an incredible shame because it's actually rather good. Like I've done before with other collections, I'll give a brief summary of each individual story alongside my personal thoughts. But as an overall, I found this special to be quite enjoyable and I highly recommend it to any Rangers fan.

Pet Project: A cute story showcasing the power of empathy; Not just from the Power Rangers, but from Scorpina as well. Rather on point with the tone of the show.

Golden Ideas: As Goldar attempts his own plan to take out the Rangers, Aisha and Adam resolve to prove themselves to the rest of the team. Provides a fun answer to the question of whatever happened to the original Rad Bug, and the idea of Rocky and Tommy being besties is interesting.

The Sweetest of Dreams: A prequel to the events of Mystic Force, this story is all about Udonna's' struggle to rescue her husband, all while smartly playing with the dramatic irony of Koragg's' situation that readers are likely already aware of. Very nicely pulled off in terms of atmosphere and visuals.

Sealed: A crossover between Ninja Steel and Mighty Morphin', this story details both team's' attempts at combating a cosmic horror. Very brief, but very cool character interactions in this one.

The Trial of Astronema: While the Rangers might be forgiving of Karone's' situation and by extension her past, the rest of the galaxy isn't so kind. A very realistic look at how hard redemption can be, not just in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of oneself too. Also features a surprise cameo by Cruger from SPD.
