With this new series now two issues deep, it's easier to see the symbiotic relationship Boom's two ongoing Power Rangers comics are developing. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is all about the new, pushing these characters beyond where we saw them in the TV series and creating new challenges and threats for them to overcome. Go Go Power Rangers is more about celebrating the past and the relatively humble origins of these characters. Sure, there's plenty of superhero/giant robot spectacle to be had, but it's offset by a heavier focus on high school and family drama. It's great to see both books carving their own niche and doing it well.
Nowhere is the contrast between the two books more obvious than in the opening pages of this issue. Ryan Parrott and Dan Mora focus not on epic Ranger battles, but on a quiet, charming date between Kimberly and Matthew. Parrott has been surprisingly successful in establishing Matthew as a worthwhile addition to the cast this early on. You have to imagine a dark fate is awaiting this character, given that he's a brand new addition to a familiar cast, but at least readers will care about that fate, one way or another. The Jason/Trini dynamic also shines in this issue. As well as Parrott and Mora handle the grounded character drama, I could see myself reading this comic even if it had no actual Power Rangers trappings.
