First major positive with this comic; they finally got rid of those annoying sidebars that could’ve gone to more of the cover image. It’s just too bad they started this new format with one of the more awkward group shots ever drawn. What in blazes is ol’ Tommy looking at that’s making his helmet look so sad?
Anyway, we continue with two more stories in the mighty Marvel mold… for whatever that’s worth now. The first story features the Rangers fighting elemental monsters in a story that seems a lot grander in scope, but because of the length of these stories, it’s anything but. Too bad; something like this could’ve been at least a full comic book or two.
The second story features rock monsters kidnapping little kids and the Rangers have to save them. There is nothing I can say about this story beyond it’s average fare in a few pages, but at least Ron Lim is around to supply some consistent art throughout both stories. I might not be a fan of the way he draws the teens (they look like generic Marvel characters instead of people), but for what it’s worth, it’s the best art this run has scene and that has to count for something.
