Feb 07, 2024Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return is a great entry point for readers who are interested in exploring the comics from BOOM! Studios. For years, this publisher has provided fans with some trulyimpressive stories featuring our favorite teenagers with attitude, and this special event series is no exception. There is a lot of world-building that happens in this first issue, but it feels organic and necessary in order to set the stage for what comes next. The artistic choices from Leon, Segala, and Martinelli blended together to paint a vivid picture of this brave new world, expertly complemented by lettering from Dukeshire. All of these elements are further enhanced by pitch-perfect character designs from the one and only Dan Mora (Once & Future). Theres so much to love in the morphinomenal first issue, and I cant wait to see where this creative team takes us. Read Full Review

Feb 07, 2024Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Return #1 lives up to its title in more ways than one, as one of the franchise's original stars helps craft a unique tale featuring the teenagers with attitude. In some ways, it feels like the Power Rangers movie some fans have been clamoring for. Either way, the old saying is true: once a Ranger, always a Ranger. Read Full Review

Feb 07, 2024Call me a cynic! It's not a perfect issue, but it's a very solid showing. There is potential in the long run; we need to get there. Also, don't forget this is a #1 from Boom! So that means there will be at least 83 variant covers. GOOD LUCK! Read Full Review

Kudos to The original pink ranger on the first chapter to an intriguing adventure. What seems so interesting here is how the original Rangers never left their roles (Come on, Who can honestly say they never once wished that they hadn't?). It leads to a unique but not so happy fate for the team. I'm looking forward to seeing this develop and learn how things turned out resulting in their world today. I heard some negative talk about this which left me skeptical at first, but I'm glad I didn't listen and got it. It proves to be an exciting ride ahead.
