Updating a property in a way that both honors the past while still being representative of the present is no easy feat, but thus far it’s a trick Kyle Higgins and Hendry Presetya have managed to pull off. With issue #6, however, the creators take the first true risk of this fledgling series, pushing the Rangers into new, and decidedly darker, territory.
For the original television series, the monster-of-the-week format didn’t allow for much in the way of adversity. Sure at times the Rangers lost their powers, or got eaten by a pig-person, but by and large there was rarely a threat that couldn’t be handled by a few color-coordinated punches or Megazord beat downs. And that’s what makes issue #6 so compelling at the onset. Rather than imbue his script with the usual it’ll-be-okay-if-we-work-together shtick, Higgins instead leans hard into dangerous uncertainty. The Ranger home base is destroyed. Alpha-5 is down. The fate of Zordon is unknown. These are big problems, and that’s before you even get to the shark-faced monster looking to steal their powers.
