COMIC REVIEW – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #3 (Marvel)

The first story features the return of Pirantishead, the first Season 2 monster, and a rare underwater fight that brings us our problem; Aisha’s fear of water… which makes no sense because she participated in a triathlon that involved swimming in a prior episode, thus denoting a massive discontinuity between the comics and the books. It’s a nothing story about overcoming your fears, but at least the art is decent and the setting is somewhat unique for Power Rangers.

The second story, Most Valuable Slayer, is about girls being as good as boys in sports and stuff. The girl in question, Kelly, wants to join the baseball team, but her being a girl is a problem until the end of the story when she sticks around to watch the Rangers fight a pink monster thing. Again, a generic nothing story that is hampered by some truly hideous artwork. The Rangers are depicted in an overly muscular fashion that would make Rob Liefeld blush, nobody knows how to draw proper faces… the back-up story of an active burner would’ve been a more appropriate place for this stinker.
