This series is a flip book that also features a VR Troopers comic on the other side. However, this review (as well as reviews for the rest of the series) will only focus on the Ninja Ranger stories. Fact is that I don’t know much about VR Troopers and I don’t think I can add anything to those stories… not that there’d be much to add if Marvel’s MMPR output has been any indication, but I digress.
Anyway, Marvel’s secondary series focuses on the “Ninja Rangers” a.k.a. the colorful pajamas. Generally speaking, the stories in this series are generally of a higher caliber than the main book, which isn’t saying much, but it’s something worth noting as we head on into this venture.
Case in point; today’s story, where Tommy notices a kid on his basketball team throwing games for loan sharks. Lord Zedd creates actual loan sharks and we get some brief Ninja Ranger action and a lesson learned. Cliche lesson aside, the story is pretty good with its smaller scope and focus, deviating somewhat from the familiar formula by focusing on a Ranger or two.
