Hey, glad you went ahead and checked the comics out! I remember you asking about them awhile back!
The comics have certainly been an experience so far if nothing else.
While I personally think that where they shined the most were back when the two individual runs were known as
MMPR
and
Go Go
, there certainly has still been some solid stuff along the way, even if I have some personal gripes.
I think the thing that irks me the most about the current
Mighty Morphin'
and
Power Rangers
runs are that, well, with how often they play off eachother, there's really no need for them to be separate stories? Neither really differentiates itself enough to be their own tale like how
MMPR
and
Go Go
did.
Keep in mind I'm speaking as a big fan of the source material here. The constant references to the TV show are certainly a bit of distraction, but from my perspective it's more so in the since that, ever since the rebranding, TV Show Continuity is so out the window at this point that I wouldn't be surprised if the upcoming Issue #100 ended with a gigantic Cosmic Retcon.
But, my tangent aside, yeah, the characterization for the most part has been rather good. Zack is my all time favorite character from the franchise. Heck, he's one of my favorite characters period, and I felt that, for the most part, the comics have done a good job at displaying just what made him so lovable for me. Not that any other character is a slouch, mind you, but because of my personal history with the character, he's the one I focus in on most.
For me, where the current run of the comics have really shined has been the side-story one-offs that they've been doing such as
Heir to Darkness
which, while yeah, they outright require you to have seen the seasons they take place beforehand to have any idea of what's going on, work really well as supplementary material to said shows.
Soul of the Dragon
is still my favorite of these, I think.
My only real gripe with the Omega Rangers is how they opted to create original suits for them rather than use the suits from
Dairanger
, but those ended up finally getting their proper due in
Power Rangers Universe
, so I guess that checks out fine. And hey, doing that resulted in the kitty cat that you love so much!
Glad you found some enjoyment in these stories for sure!
