Our second Marvel issue of Mighty Morphin contains another two stories of the mighty Marvel fare.
The first story, Playing Dirty, has the Ranger teens helping out at a car wash before Zedd decides to turn a car (occupied by Bulk & Skull… naturally) into a monster. This story reads more like an abridged episode than anything; set up the plot of the day, follow up with the pre-requisite Tenga battle (which feature the Rangers morphing to their usual fare instead of the Ninja suits… I guess we can’t mix and match suits in these two comics), introduce the monster for the Rangers to fight and introduce the Zord battle, which is actually quite unique in the way it disposes of the car monster.
The second story, notable for being illustrated by the legendary Steve Dikto, has Aisha and Kimberly looking after kids while Bulk & Skull attempt to be upstanding citizens or something… aren’t they supposed to be cops at this point? Anyway, Rito Revolto shows up and threatens the kids, but our two teens can’t morph in front of kids. It’s a fairly basic story with some surprisingly mediocre artwork. The humans look bad and the monsters are drawn in a somewhat cartoonish fashion. Not one of Dikto’s better works, but the story itself isn’t too bad, as it’s more of a Bulk & Skull sidestory than anything involving the Rangers.
