Justice League/Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
Surprise, it's crossover time!
This crossover between
Justice League
and
Power Rangers
started getting published around this time, so I figured, why not cover it?
Written by Tom Taylor and drawn by Stephen Byrne, this book is basically an action movie crossover between DC and Saban's' most iconic characters that I'd absolutely love to see animated one day.
And I gotta say, it's just a really fun ride all the way through. Byrne's' art, while not perfect, makes every character feel as though they belong together, and perfectly portrays everything that a given scene/scenario is trying to properly portray. Made even more impressive given he does the coloring too.
Meanwhile, Tom Taylor's' writing feels very natural and keeps everyone in character, ontop of having some very fun and engrossing dialogue. He also creates a scenario that makes alot of sense for a crisis crossover; That being a team-up between Zedd and Brainiac, which in themselves are two villains I certainly wouldn't immediately think of just by the title alone.
Plus, as a Zack fan, it was really nice to see that Zack was basically the main character of nearly the entire run. Not in the sense that's the super mega hero who solves everyone's' problems -- no, he's got his own arc and drama going on, with him feeling the weight of everything going on; blaming himself due to his error in judgment essentially causing the entire crossover to happen to begin with. Not to mention the recent argument he had with his parents.
The crossover isn't just a mere team-up either, with elements of both works intersecting and interacting with eachother. I really dig these suits that the Rangers don temporarily, and I wish we had gotten action figures of them. Just a shame that we never got to see, say, Batman Morph into a Power Ranger or somesuch. But hey, the commentary that the League has on certain aspects of the
PR
universe is fun, like the bit about the two worlds having different currency towards the end of the story.
What was biggest shock to me in the entire thing though was actually the interaction between Alpha 5 and Brainiac. Both sentient machines, both with very different philosophies on life. The writers of the BOOM
PR
comics must've taken note of it as well, as these aspects of Alpha would later on be imported directly into the BOOM stories(we'll highlight that eventually). It's a very rare and poignant moment coming from a character many wouldn't expect, but it really works in context, and I dug it alot. A shame that Alpha's' lesson doesn't seem to stick with the twelfth-level intelligence though.
But uh, something sure does stick with Alpha.
And before you ask, no, this crossover never did get a sequel unfortunately. But I really would love to see it return one day with the same creatives behind it.
