From the time the Power Rangers first morphed onto the scene, fans have wondered just who the characters are beyond their multi-colored masks. Since a Power Rangers reality show is out of the question (though really, who wouldn’t watch that) BOOM! Studios offers the next best thing in their Ranger-centric solo series. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink is the first of such titles, and if the entertainment found here is an indicator of things to come, here’s hoping the rest of sextet isn’t far behind.
Considering the success of MMPR’s flagship title, it really comes as no surprise to see the team split into solo ventures. What is surprising is where writers Brenden Fletcher and Kelly Thompson choose to start theirs. Rather than introduce us to a Kimberly Hart still brandishing the pink tights, or even first breaking them in, we instead get a Kimberly who’s already given up the mantle entirely. Seeing as how the main MMPR title is only a few issues deep, it’s a somewhat curious decision to have the book set in a place that’s either far ahead or not even in the same continuity. That same disconnect is present in the book’s presentation. Ranger die-hards will likely enjoy the mention to characters and items familiar to Ranger lore, but the casual fan may be left grasping air at certain instances, particularly when the power of the Pink Ranger comes into play. It’s not new reader adverse, but the learning curve is decidedly more difficult than one would likely suspect.
