Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Pink
Written by Brenden Fletcher, Kelly Thompson, and Tini Howard, this was BOOM's' first ever foray into bringing
Power Rangers
in comic form.
And it makes for an interesting look back on many concepts that would evolve with time.
For example, many forget that Daniele di Niculo was the original artist for this part of the franchise, and alot of what makes her art great in current stuff is here too, and looking back really showcases how her style has evolved over time.
There's also things such as Typhonis up there, which no doubt served as the basis for the Gravezord in the
MMPR
comics proper, as well as the new design for the Pink Ranger, which I'd be willing to bet money served as the base design for the Ranger Slayer.
But that's not to say that the comic itself is without merit otherwise, as I rather liked the story overall. There's alot to like throughout this run, and it's almost a shame that it doesn't appear to be canon to well, much of anything. Kim's' characterization is great, the pacing of the comic overall is very smooth and movie-like, and it's a scenario that one could fit into canon almost perfectly.
I say almost because if there was one aspect I didn't like in all of this, it was the romantic pairing of Trini and Zack. I just never saw them as a romantic fit for eachother, and it honestly just comes across as random when the comic reveals that they've been together for an extended period of time. Thankfully nowadays we have
Once & Always
to showcase that no, this ship never set sail. But really, that's a minor gripe in terms of everything.
What will probably be the biggest takeaway most will get out of this comic though(and indeed, it was what most people talked about for a long time in my circles), was the expansion the comic makes to Kim's' infamous break up letter to Tommy. The comic explains that her finding someone else was a lie, and she simply realized that Tommy and her had grown too far apart, and thus decided to find what she felt was the best way to break things off and help Tommy to move on with his life.
Me personally? I was overall fine with it, but it definitely served as a point of contention for others, and I can get why. It's very much an element that is carried entirely via the emotional state of Kim more so than any sort of rock solid logic. And looking at it in that lens, while I personally don't agree with how Kim went about things, I understand her internal logic, and thus I come out supporting more than not.
In the end, this really is a fun little one off, and I recommend it for not just fans of the original Pink Ranger, but
Mighty Morphin'
fans in general.
