When you put two uniquely entertaining properties like the Justice League and the Power Rangers together, the sheer fun of the idea allows for a certain level of leeway when it comes to execution. Unfortunately, that forgiving nature all but evaporates in Tom Taylor and Stephen Byrne’s follow-up installment, the book’s limited gains hampered by its disappointingly flat characters.
Given the nature of the read, the book’s familiar case of mistaken-identity-turned-inevitable-team-up is none too surprising. And to writer Taylor’s credit, he makes good use of the initial confusion, the various instances reading mostly true to character. It’s surprising then just how dull these initial interactions are, as despite the many physical clashes we’re treated to there’s never any real sense of drama or escalation. Much of that blasé feel comes from the characters themselves. While true in tone, there are no real sparks to this clash of cultures, or at least nothing that makes their union memorable. Superman and the Justice League treat the Rangers as more intriguing interlopers than true threats, whereas the dialogue for the Rangers, aside from Kimberly and maybe Billy, is more or less interchangeable from character to character. There are a few choice Batman bits involving how scary he is, but even that is offset somewhat by artist Byrne’s bright color palette.
