You mean like the giant self-destruct button they wear on their chests? Smart design there, Zeddy.
She was literally Black Kimberly. Even by MMPR standards, there was nothing worth caring about her for.
Kayden Scott
And dumping Forever Rangers since it got ripped too.
Elijah Perez
She was a blank slate. The three replacement were. Rocky didn't get shit till Zeo, Adam was lucky to get something in the movie even though it was promptly ignored for season 3. I don't know what happened in the writers room for Zeo, but they actually bothered doing their job for once.

Rocky is the dumb one, Adam's thing is being shy, Aisha inherited Trini's team-mom and social-activist stuff.
Angel Murphy
I wonder why go go power rangers is so much better written than MMPR? Although the reason given for trini´s and jason´s breakup kinda falls flat in the future, among other things.
Parker Green
So the Peace Conference was actually just a secret mission?
Easton Morris
Once a ranger...
Joseph Watson
So hey, remember that thing where Finster was making monsters that were super hard to find?
Me neither.

does boom just not reprint shit?
Jackson Foster
is op the guy who was storytiming the comics before forever rangers came out or no?
I thought Rita told him to activate them all at once
Lincoln Adams
Shut up, Boco.
Rita forced him to activate all of them at once and then basically went "Don't do anything that isn't in my plan."
Lincoln Scott
Boom are unironically the worst publisher when it comes to TPBs
Easton Jenkins
Kay, that works.
Jacob Cox
Bennett had a good idea but she poorly executed it and her OCs were fuckin' shit, let's see how Parrot handles the Tommywank fest 2019
Nathaniel Butler
Adam and Aisha are great, but god does rocky suck hard.
Colton Ortiz
Guess who's back
Connor Ramirez
He's been on solicited covers for Go Go.
Lincoln Lopez
As a staunch Jason fan, this gives me hope.
Do the suits kinda look like samurai/ninja suits to anyone else?
Luke Perry
Tommy's back, Jason's gone. This book sounds promising
Austin Lewis
Dayne, Dane, get it? Doh ho ho ho!
Camden Russell
Doggie's criminal brother?
Kevin Scott
Doesn't have to be related. Remember, they are an entire alien species... Hope to see some females.
Nathaniel Cooper
Aaaand, Zedd's characterization will be lost the moment Rita comes with the marriage spell.
Liam Fisher
Look more modeled off of the dragon shield to me.
The arm bands, the ribbing on the shoulderpads, the single diamond.
idk, they serioused Rita right up.
Austin Perry
It's 100% going to be his criminal brother and the reason Doggie got into law enforcement since Moore's shit will be ignored.
Ryder Cruz
can they actually use Dex Stewart in this comic?
Jason Powell
They've referenced Edenoi and all that, but, IIRC, Saban was specifically forbidden from using Kamen Rider footage again after Masked Rider.
Sebastian Jackson
Well, Tommy, fast forward and you'll be actually doing that with Kyra and co.
Nicholas Hughes
They can use him but not let him transform probably. They'll just have to make an OC suit for him that doesn't resemble a Rider
Sebastian Russell
Wanting to get into this.
Is there a Mega, a pastebin or whatever where download links for MMPR / GGPR are collected, by any chance?
Matthew King
Check the /prg/
Oliver Edwards
Unironically I was expecting a "sic-hyah".
Grayson Morris
How many "Secret Rangers" stories do we need? first Pink, now this? Can writers just stop fuckin' things up?
Eli Nelson
At least makes more sense with Jason, Trini and Zack.
Josiah Bennett
Okay, so, they didn't go with it because it's a "weakness". I saw Trini being very bitchy and Jason kinda autist with their relationship because...it's new and dangerous to them? Kinda glad they didn't go far with it.
Isaiah Moore
>actual help
Much obliged, my good /m/ercenary.
Cameron Rodriguez
wonder if they can pull off a trinary form look (regular, super gold and super blue in one suit).
Josiah Roberts
I stopped reading when she took over, what happened in her run?
Jonathan Powell
Nothing. Some lesbian OC donut steels and Tanya and Mike might have hooked up I can't remember.
Justin Gonzalez
No problem, Yea Forumsmrade.
Bear in mind that it's really easy to get into ASJ vs JDF bitchfits there. Unless you want to be sucked into that, just grab the comics and go.
Ryder Perry
This is the first thing this comic has done to the continuity that I like.
Jonathan Perez
>t. Jasonfag
Ian Evans
Forever Rangers has also been ripped, I'm the "Power Rangers storytime" from last week that had to stop because of the lack of Forever Rangers. I'll resume next monday.
Ethan Peterson
I mean, we already knew Jason was carrying out missions for Zordon thanks to Pink.
Cameron Ramirez
why? this is actually good. Power rangers is nostalgic, but it's a bad broken franchise taking the disparate elements of it and playing around it what gives the comic it;s potential.
Joshua Brown
I can see the frustration, given that we've had the 1960s Rangers, Kim's team, and now the black ops team. It's a little ridiculous.
That said, it doesn't necessarily change canon. And we knew that Jason, at least, was doing shit behind the black.
Colton Brown
You have to be fucking kidding me
Carter Sanders
So has Goldar done anything cool in the comics yet?
Cause he's the only one who hasn't gotten a Boom handjob treatment
Jeremiah Jenkins
What do you know, more Boom cosplaybait
Easton Murphy
Oh no? the horror?
Austin Clark
He's had a few good scenes here and there, but no dedicated storylines. He's starred in two short stories in the annuals, one portraying his origin and the other with him and Scorpina fucking around in Angel Grove.
Juan Gray
No not really
Just find it funny how many Original Ranger designs the comics pumps out
Evan Wright
Anybody really cares about how the comics jumps around (Go Go being first half, MMPR being second half)? seems like a convoluted way just speed through the story.
Oliver Rivera
I like it, the solar ranger was boring but the design was cool, and desu the comic is considerably better than like 95% of the show, so I trust them enough to come up with oc material.
Nolan Foster
Well Go Go is now the second half of season 1 that will also take place alongside the first half of the MMPR book and second half of season 1.
Jacob Morris
I think this is the first time they've used this in the comic canon
Jayden Nguyen
I think its because they don't want to repeat the same stories as the show despite them not being shared canons
Aaron Cox
its entirely possible that Kimberly influenced the cosmic retcon into making that a cover story
I just use getcomics
Brody Jones
Yeah - I never liked the season 3/Season 4 Ninja Rangers, Glitter suits/Master Vile Saga...
After 30 issues with Green Ranger, and the White Ranger lasting for twice as long in the show...I'm really hoping they're just gonna skip the Ninjor stuff and after a few White Ranger arcs, and a KAT arc, they just go for broke with ZEO
Ian Lopez
Honestly, if any story would've benefited from both a retelling and Boom's cosplaybait obsession
Its the Dark Rangers
Carson Turner
>"I'm just gonna be honest, you're the first person to say the word Dayne to me who didn't know he was in the comic book and it's so cool," Parrott said. "That was like amazing moment. I will say this. Dayne's a brand new character. We wanted that, sort of talking what we were just talking about, when we looked at how Zedd would operate we wanted to have him bring in a new, it would be great to bring in sort of a heavy hitter for himself."
>"So let him bring in sort of his own minion," Parrott said. "And so being that he's a brand new character and obviously he falls into the same alien race as Doggie Cruger. And we just loved the idea of using the mythology that's already there but also establishing new characters and he seemed like a really fun, visually dynamic character."
>"But Dayne's probably like my favorite character to write right now," Parrott said. "He's just so much fun and he's just got a lot...his personality, I don't want to give too much away, but I really enjoyed writing him. He's going to be a big part of the book and he's very, very...I'll just say this. Your heroes are only as good as your villains and you gotta bring in villains who actually pose a threat and can push them to new places and hopefully, Dayne will do that."
>"I love the stars on the nose," Parrott said. "I cannot wait. Daniele did such an amazing job with it. I love the color and the slashing on the face and sort of the old uniform such a fun character. That splash page I got goosebumps when I saw it the first time. I love it so much."

So when's the smut?
Alexander Brooks
>"But with Lord Zedd he's a different type of villain and we've, Dafna and I have had a lot of conversations about this," Parrott said. "About trying to find a way to make him... to separate him from Rita. I don't want to make him a male version of Rita. I want to find out why he does the things that he does. The way that he treats the people underneath him and the way that he approaches his attacks on the Rangers. So for me, it's been a lot more of a tactical understanding of him. How is he more terrifying, how is he more dangerous, and sort of digging into that and really trying to apply that to everything that he does. He is such an iconic and such a visually compelling villain that, I'm not saying we won't get into who he was down the line, but the current version is more of explaining how he works and how he operates."
>"I will tell you this," Parrott said. "From the very, very beginning one of the things that always bothered me, well not bothered me, but one of the things that has always intrigued me was why the original trio left the team in the story and went to do a Peace Conference. I never understood that decision. I never understood that move and so when we started to dig into the ramifications of Shattered Grid and how we could change the status quo but also open up things and explore what happened coming out of it, this was one of those options."

Austin Garcia
>Your heroes are only as good as your villains
Lex?
Isaac Perez
Its basic capeshit writing
The best heroes get the best villains
Villains help make stories interesting
Cooper Wilson
Parrott and Higgins were great writers for different matters
>Parrott does character drama and gives the rangers each their own voice in the middle of that drama
>Higgins does good action and some deep lore references, and makes sure to throw in some character lines for where each ranger is at in the show
>Bennett is bad at faking being a fan, and especially bad at writing a TEAM, bc all of her characters talk with THE SAME VOICE & attitude. Also her action scenes were poorly paced
Joseph Walker
>but one of the things that has always intrigued me was why the original trio left the team in the story and went to do a Peace Conference. I never understood that decision.

Seriously? ou choose to just steal a plot from fuckin' Kelly Thompson? I thought he was going to do something better than this or at least something we haven't seen already.
Jason Lee
>basically GoGo has had TEN MONTHS to outshine Bennett's bullshit and Higgins Tommywank
Jace Williams
Dude, everyone was bothered about the Peace Conference since it was a bullshit reason to write two of the best Rangers and Jason off the show because Saban didn't want to pay them more
Its better to have them do SOMETHING since comics don't rely on actors
Oliver Parker
literally praying that go go becomes power rangers: dark while mighty morphin is tommy circle jerk.
Leo Gray
If anything those ten months showed it was carried by Mora.
Nicholas Campbell
Go Go will be co-written by Sina Grace. Set yourself up for Bennett 2.0. In fact, that might be better than what we get.
Jeremiah Mitchell
So when are they gonna give the lorefag that is Trey Moore his own ongoing or at least a mini?
Brayden Smith
The thing that pleasantly surprised me about Parrott is that if you look into his credentials, you can see he didn't really do much writing before GGPR and his Aftershock comic for the 2017 Movie was mediocre and yet Go Go's the best consistently under his writing

its cost - sina will work for mcdonalds and a box to shout from
Alexander Bell
Just checked his twitter
He's waiting for the opportunity to pitch something to Boom

Hudson Perry
inb4 the cover's lying or Drakkon's just a memory/dream/illusion
Luis Myers
Well, that's a variant, so it's pretty much a given
Jaxson Ramirez
That's not a variant, it's the main cover
The solicit text mentions Jason remembering the events of Shattered Grid
And the final battle against Drakkon involved those animal ghost things
Benjamin Roberts
>twitter.com
>when Ryans done with his run
oh FUCK YEAH - he's pitching ZEO, he's gotta be
Thomas Carter
He's too autistic to write an ongoing. He'd try to tie in a bunch of future concepts and the general audience just wants MMPR.
John Nguyen
if he's waiting for Parrott to finish his run, which will most likely end MMPR era, ZEO is actually the perfect place to start seeding SPD TimeForce lore:
>Aquitar adventures
>mini series about Alien Rangers and them patrolling their sector (masked rider crossover)
>cat people for Kat Manx wank and fanservice
>Machine empire had conquered worlds before - more lore on the Gladiators/alien refugees
>intro lore about Zordon, Demetria and Divatox
>Auric the fucking Conquerer backup story
Cameron Rogers
>Adam has excessive number of piercings
C'mon, son.
Hudson Murphy
Well, hopefully Parrott will oversee things.
Kayden Nelson
>....I thought that was a coloring error...didn't even notice
christ what the fuck - why not the closeted macho gambling addict who could never follow Jason? Like the bait is there , just take it
Jeremiah Fisher
season 3 ninja arc.
Jack Jones
Oh user, Parrott's just gonna be the ideas guy with plotting and Grace is gonna be the script writer. It's gonna be OoC for everyone
Xavier Morales
You know Boom just put Parrot's name in the book so people don't hate too much on Sina like they did with Bennett's run, right?
Chase Gonzalez
but that arc...it isn't good.
Ryder Lewis
The ONLY good thing that could come of doing Ninja would be either he SOMEHOW makes them cool (they were wasted in the show) or they seed some NinjaStorm/Jungle Fury/Ninja Steel lore
Christ dude I hope that ain't so; honestly though, Sina never clearly NEVER had editors at Marvel; if they reel him in, I MIGHT not have to give up on my current favorite pull.
>But the MOMENT he gives us a closeted ranger, or a "oh beans and rice!" page...I'm out
Gabriel Phillips
It's not the editors, he's a shitty writer. Look up any of his work outside of Marvel. Fuck man, his Jughead book came out last week and it managed to be a comedy book without a single joke that landed.
Jason Butler
>just had to dash that little bit o hope I had left... fuck man WHY is anyone hiring this piece of shit?! His twitter persona = shit; his books = all shit; his sales numbers = kaiyoken times shit
FFUUUUCCCKKK looks like I better get ready to break my LCS heart.

storytime?
Connor King
Prepare for more of this
Josiah Reed
Daniel Flores
Jaxon Diaz
Joshua Adams
Exactly. It's why despite the Shera reboot not being very good due to unlikable heroes, the villains seem to be the only redeeming factor.
Liam Miller
They should just give Jughead back to North and Charm. They knocked it out of the park during their run a few years back.
Leo Rivera
Storytime of Pain season should be soon right?
Cooper Russell
Well Charm is doing the art, but I don't think it's enough
Here we go

>Zedd's tone is more in line with the show - but not with the world or tone of the BOOK

>Adam's dialogue
>a one-off random ass formula makes the zords obsolete
>they chose to draw suited yellow ranger (OG played by a guy, but increasingly played by a woman bc of more original US footage), as a flatass fridge
this...is the foreseeable future
youtube.com
Connor Anderson
mind..blown!
Michael Cook
Trini is cute!
Camden Cruz
>they chose to draw
Grace drew this himself.
Kayden Smith
They can redeem themselves by actually giving the rangers the Kakuranger suits instead of just relegating them to the Alien Rangers.
Thomas Allen
Oh SHIT. That'd be a neat twist.
Aaron Walker
SPD containment cards are the precursor of the Rider cards.
Easton Price
In the show, she had more character than Rocky. Which isn't that better. I hope they at least give Rocky something, he was the most underused red ranger ever.
Jayden Wilson
So is the Jason-Zack-Trini trio called the "Omega Power Ranger team"?
And is Jason setting this up with Zordon's permission or some other way?
Caleb Cox
Oh man we need Alpha wearing this suit in the games now.
Liam Sanders
I'm glad we are getting new villains who are connected to Zedd, will be interesting to see what else is in store down the road.
Jayden Perez
Have they announced new DLC for it?
Ayden Myers
>a one-off random ass formula makes the zords obsolete
Growing Rangers are nothing new, just super rare.
Jack Barnes
>may even be a little bit taller
