Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #113 by Melissa Flores, Simona Di Gianfelice, Raul Angulo, and Ed Dukeshire for BOOM! Studios
Curve ball opening we aren’t jumping in RIGHT where we left off! We go right to Amber Beach Dinosaur Zoo! Dr. Morgan is trying to figure out waht the heck is wong with the grid. Luckily Keeper had brought Ivan and Koda back to their time.
Mistress Vile shows up with Dark Spector following behind. and they can feel the power of the grid is strong in this dimension. Some of the guys morph BUT Shelby warns them not to and boom next thing you know we got a new “spectorized” evil Dino Charge rangers. Even Keeper has been influenced by the infection of the grid sneak attacking Kendall.
Back in our Dimension
Billy is at the Pormenthea and they are under attack when he goes outside to solo an elongating deranged doll villain he might be a bit over his head till he gets an assist from the Blue and Yellow Drakkon Rangers. Being who they are from their dimension, they make short work of the demonic dolly just by cutting off its head, regardless of Billy’s asking them not to.
Coinless Bulk is trying to fix Alpha 5 but luckily Billy has installed some extra firewalls to prevent him from being tampered with a. Scorpina and Kiya start quipping back and forth while Coinless Trini is overcome with emotion seeing Billy running to him with a Zord-sized hug. As Billy gets caught up he questions HOW this motley crew became Rangers, Drakkon makes his magnanimous appearance. Billy morphs and stabs Drakkon with his Power Lance! It takes all the other Drakkon rangers to stop him and Zordon finally speaks up.
Somewhere in Hyperspace
The Hyperforce team and speeding through space and time. After getting a message from Zordon and Drakkon. They explain they are “picking up strays” as in Kendal and Taylor. They try to formulate a plan to save as many rangers as they can but Mistress Vile and Dark Spector have the Master Arch on their side and can be anywhere in seconds. As always Billy has…. A PLAN!
Billy and Coinless Trini head to the now busted Master Arch here on Earth and using the Power Eggs he received from the now deceased Grace. he uses their residual energy to try and “reboot” the Arch and get the upper hand on the villains.
Well, that didn’t go the way they wanted…….
Thoughts from THE GRID
Okay, I’ll say it, Missy is just playing right in her wheelhouse, and I can’t complain! Knowing her history with the Hyperforce team it’s an obvious choice to incorporate them into the larger narrative! I personally hope that Jack, Marv, and Joe meet up with Farkus, Preston, and Koda because DOPPLEGANGERS!
I’m glad to see the Power Eggs got scrambled so quickly, glad they didn’t become a dues ex machina down the road. Using the residual Morphin energy to make them go boom gave me HARDCORE RPM BLUE vibes! You know what I’m talking about.
How about starting off over in the Dino Charge universe?! What a great keep you on your toes opening. Seeing that Kendall now has her doctorate is so freaking cool! I chatted with Claire Blackwelder last PMC and she hoped that one day her character would become a Doctor, and the grid provides!!
I didn’t mention there was a little subplot about the balance of Evil power but let’s be honest there’s going to be a betrayal moment cause….. Power Rangers. I just want to see how it pans out.
