Though even then Groom quickly forces Rocky deal with an invasion in the panel right after the other Powe Rangers leave. The way it was all done just handled pacing wise felt like Groom ran out of pages to tell the full story he wanted to tell in Mighty Morphin #17 that he didn't give room for Rocky's solo moment to breathe. That all just speaks to the rough debut issue for the new Mighty Morphin creative team. Read Full Review
This debut issue alone proves Groom has the talent Parrot and Higgins had before. What better way to pick up after the Eltarian war than with a new threat to face that may be even deadlier? That was one of the old show's biggest problems. The same enemy every episode till the title changed. A new threat can be a relaxing change of pace. It's also interesting that the Automaton Empire is appearing before the Machine Empire, especially when King Aradon was only mentioned. I always wondered what he was like. Now we can. And we see he was Mondo's greatest enemy with good reason.
This issue also gives us interesting insight into Rocky as a person. It's been a while since the replacement Rangers were introduced, but Parrot never really explo more
I was nervous about Parrot leaving the series but Mat Groom handled the transition perfectly and he is setting up what promises to be an exciting next chapter for the Power Rangers. Loved seeing the more personal side of Rocky, and Groom definitely nailed the voices of the Rangers as teenagers with attitude.
