I love this series so much. Higgins did the heavy lifting for lore building of the new Ranger universe, Parott got to focus on the character relationship and works so well. Matt's arc from the beginning here to where he goes to Mighty Morphin', beautiful. Just wish volume 2 wasn't so completely double dipping the the two Necessary Evils
The whole Power Rangers comic line under Boom! Studios has been nothing but a fantastic ride. I've loved every bit of the story, characters, art, colors, etc. I'm a trade back gal, so I've been collecting them in trade back. Looking forward to the future of the series.
I’ve been meaning to watch this review for weeks and shame on me for being here after the passing of JDF. But I’ve been interested in these Ranger comics for some time now and I went all in. I even just overpaid for Shattered Grid. Smh. Can’t wait to read these. And Dan Mora is my new favorite artist. I don’t blame you for not being a fan of power rangers in high school. It was def geared to all us 6 year old's in 1993. But I’m glad these comics are a mature version. Can’t wait to dig in. RIP Tommy/JDF.
Been looking forward to this forever. I think this is the first Power Rangers book I've seen you do an overview. I ordered mine on release day from In Stock Trades as soon as they put it up for sale Wednesday. Still hasn't shipped in over a week. So anxious. Power Rangers titles are my favorite coming out. I'm very excited to upgrade my single floppies to this hardcover edition. Glad I held off on the TPBs
I've only ever seen the newest Power Rangers movie, and some clips here and there of the classic show. Wouldn't call myself a fan but this does look like it could reel me in to give it a try!
Idk if you’ve been following Batman Superman World’s Finest, but same artist, or the first arc per say for Infinite Frontier Detective Comics, all Dan Mora 🐐
This series is on my top 5 comics series, no kidding. It's well worth a read. But it just throws you in the middle expecting some previous knowledge about the series, and the reading order can be a pain in the ass to get correctly.
Would you ever do an overview of the TMNT IDW Collection series? TMNT is kinda in the same sub category as Power Rangers to me as non marvel/dc superheros.
I bought this at a FCBD sale and am LOVING it so far. I just ordered MMPR Year 2 (I couldn't find 1) and Shattered Grid. Good to know about the double dipping, I think I'd rather get GGPR vol 2 and look for the missing Necessary Evil trades if I want than the other way around
Only downside about this deluxe hardcover is it not collecting all the variants. It is missing the first three issues intermix variants including the one that is used as the cover of the book and is missing the first four locker variants.
The Pink minisseries takes place way into the future of the series, after Kim leaves the team. The main title has yet to arrive at this point. And it may not be canon to the rest of the series, too.
The comics counteract the goofy acting of certain characters. The characters always had the potential to be good. Always preferred the villains because they seem to have the best acting and costumes. Lord Zedd is like Reverse-Flash with the red lightning.
Can you read this without reading the MMPR stuff that’s out of print? Either never heard you say or you skipped around it lol. Watched the series when I was younger even now for fun
@@ConorB1 I'm sure they'll reprint them, it wouldn't make sense not to. I'd get the ones that are still in print now or they'll be out of print when the others become available again.
How old are you Omar? I’m 36 and was into Power Rangers up to the 2nd movie, and lost interest. As an adult the nostalgia is nice, but show was super cringe and kinda embarrassing. Lol what are your thoughts?
Correct me if I'm wrong but the earlier deluxe HC's didn't collect everything did they? I think that's why I never jumped on these books. *EDIT* Wait, this is the second series that was released in conjunction with the original MMPR series? So the original deluxe HC's collect MMPR and this collects Go Go? And both of these series are prior to the Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers series?
This one collects Gogo Power Rangers. It's a companion series to the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers one. The 6 original HCs collect MMPR from issues 00-55 as well as some extras. They also collect GOGO 09-12, 21-32 (issues 13-16 are collect in the volume Omar just showed, and 17-20 are going to be collected in volume 2 along with the rest of the series. Yes, there's double dip). So as far as the original run, they collcet everything from the main series. The Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin' series are a direct continuation of the MMPR series, they just rebooted the numbering, with the original number on the inside cover. MM 01 is MMPR 56 and PR is MMPR 57, and they go alternating the series in the numbering. And as soon as that reached 22 issues each, making PR 22 the 99th in the internal numbering, they've gone back to the previous title with issue 100. Confusing just as comics can be ;)
@@kamikaze5528 I wonder why Boom didn't release the Go Go deluxes at the same time as the MMPR deluxes. Releasing them so late made it very confusing for people who didn't keep up.
Could anyone recommend a reading order for the new 52 in omnibus format? I was going to get the flashpoint omnibus, but I don't know if it's best to start with the justice league omnibus after or is it better to read each individual characters first. Like superman, wonder woman, batman, Aquaman. Im looking to read it all in chronological order if possible. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
They all start around the same place after flashpoint [except green lantern, and Morrison's Batman run], that being a new run starting from the idea that the person reading may be a new reader, or just know the character by name, so, it really depends on which is your favorite character. I would recommend starting with Snyder Batman, as that tends to be the standout run from the era, especially vol1 of the omni's. Those stories are the ones people most remember positively from the N52-era in particular. After that, it's up to you where to stop reading that run and bounce between other ones. If you want multiple heroes in one omni, justice league is where to go. If you like your superhero groups spooky, Justice League Dark. Single story spooky times? Jeff Lemire Animal Man or Swamp Thing N52. Want some Morrison doing a new take on Superman [after already knocking it out of the park with Allstar Superman]? Read his N52 Superman run. Want a short run of a legendary writer on the man of steel? Read the very short N52 run george perez had on Superman as well. [not in omni form, but tpb] Want Wonder Woman with an odd modernity to the pantheon [kind of darker Percy Jackson-esque]? Read N52 wonder woman. Want Aquaman? They got Aquaman, by geoff johns too. Want a Flash comic with SUPER colorful expressive art? The flash omni by manapul is that. You also have two Nightwing omni's, with the latter run getting a 2022 edition out next week. [Nightwing as a secret agent, Grayson] You also get a great character driven Batgirl omni by Gail Simone as well, still in stock at a lot of places. All in all, Flashpoint would be a good place to start, per se, to know what caused the whole universe-reset [this time]. BUT, if you just want to dive in, I'd just jump into the Snyder omni vol 1. [Unless you have a different fav hero from the ones listed above] Top Quality ones, generally from fan response, were mainly Batman, Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Justice League Dark. The others, you might be best off giving them a 'trial' read on some online-reading website before putting the money down on a giant hardcover. But that's all the tips I've got for ya. Good luck! 😁 [edit: somehow forgot flash]
@@NichoMania2 thanks for taking the time to right all that. I think I'll just jump in with batman, read the others like wonder woman, Aquaman, superman and then read both justice league omnibuses. I'm interested in Geoff Johns Green lantern but ive heard there's alot of lore around that character. Do you think I could just read his three omnis plus maybe blackest night and brightest day or would it need other material to fully understand/ appreciate the story?
@@bensheridan7967 No problem! Happy to help. 😁 As for GL though, I'm not entirely sure, as though I love the character [due to loving The New Frontier storyline by Darwyn Cooke] I don't have any of the omnibi, and haven't read too many of the comics, besides O'neil's GA/GL, Emerald Knights, and Waid's Brave & the Bold. I do know Geoff John's run is lauded as the best starting point for someone who wants to jump into it, though, so I assume it gives setup for any new fans, so I think you should be safe jumping into that.👍 It STARTS with green lantern rebirth [not to be confused with the green lantern runs during DC Rebirth......honestly DC runs out of titles way too easily] which was Johns retconning/putting the pieces together to get back Hal from what he'd been through previously, which was a LOT to say the least. [spoiler alert for the rest of the comment, it describes what came before johns' GL rebirth in very short, so, if ya don't wanna know it, I'd recommend just diving in. Or if you want to give it a trial read, online sites for them exist] ===================================================================================== [spoiler alert] Hal went crazy after his home, Coast City, got nuked during Death of Superman by cyborg superman [the 90's were interesting], and he ended up killing the entire GL corps, taking their power, while one of the Guardians went to earth, making Kyle Reyner the ONLY green lantern for a while. During this, Hal was now Paralax, a villain who wanted the power to bring back everyone he'd lost. This took the form of Zero Hour, a whole other event with time travel fun, and him just generally being a bad guy. BUT, this all keeps going until Final Night happens, where the sun goes out, superheroes try and help people, but in the end Parallax, in a moment of heroism, reignites the sun and sacrifices himself in the process. He then goes on to become the new Spectre [the judeo-christian god's embodiment of vengeance in the dc universe. fun guy, cool comics, if you like off the wall punishments for criminals], so now Hal has to make penance for his past crimes as parallax. [also Emerald Knights is a good short story during this era to read for old Hal, Kyle, and Parallax bouncing off eachother, it's a quick read too, comes after Final Night]. And that's around the time Geoff John's GL Rebirth happens. [Spoiler alert ends] ===================================================================================== And that's the whole setup basically. GL Rebirth does base itself on the story that came before, but once the proper series begins, it's all an easy jump-into point, so i've heard. But yeah, hope that helped. 👌
@@NichoMania2 thanks again. Very helpful. I did read a bit of it on a trial and I was able to understand it well enough. And funny enough I just finished the death and return of Superman omnibus so I think I'll add green lantern to my list to read.
@@bensheridan7967 No problem! And good luck with that reading. 😁 I personally need to start reading more of my omni's, instead of leaving bookmarks in so many.😅 Glad you were able to get through the D&RoS one tho,😌Here's hoping more superman omni's will hopefully come into existence.😏 [Also, sidenote: If you just want Johns' GL run, the og 3 omni's would cover it all. Blackest Night and Brightest Day are kind of just one of those comprehensive, with the tie-in omni's. granted BN's one is GIANT, and idk if BD is in the third GL Omni. but def recommend going through the og GL omnis first, unless you want that full tie-in experience with them. 😄]
So it's a bit complicated. Go Go Power Rangers launched a bit after the start of MMPR, but issue #1-7 are all prequel content that come before issue #0 of MMPR, because as Omar explained in the video, Go Go starts when they first get their coins. However, #8-12 are part of the MMPR Shattered Grid event which starts in MMPR #24. So if you've got the deluxe editions, it would probably be best to either read MMPR vol.1 and vol.2 first, then Go Go vol.1. The issues of Go Go #13+ return to the prequel style storytelling, but if I remember right they're somewhat aware of what happened in the crossover still. And as a heads up, vol.2 of Go Go will likely have issues #17-20, Forever Rangers (one-shot), and then #21-32. I split them like that because 17-20 and Forever Rangers continue the prequel content, and then 21-32 are the front half of the Necessary Evil era that show what happened during the time jump in MMPR. Go Go and MMPR both end as series at that point and are replace with 'Mighty Morphin' and 'Power Rangers', each following what would be spoilers to detail. So yeah, Go Go is a little messy and probably would have worked out better if they had just done a big #1-20, Back to School, and Forever Rangers volume, and then let people pick up the MMPR volumes for Necessary Evil.
@@ConorB1 Okay, so this is a bit hard to talk around without spoiling things. If you were to read only Go Go Power Rangers, there are a few problems. First, you won't have any context for why the event is happening - all of the setup is over in MMPR. Second, a character is going to appear out of nowhere and you'll have no context for where they're from, but you might be able to figure it out by bits of back story provided in the GG issues. Third, something happens near the end that is only resolved in the rest of the event, so you won't ever get closure on it. Now, as far as the story lines in GG are concerned, it doesn't have too much in the way of aftermaths from the crossover, but if you want to know what happened in Shattered Grid and beyond, there's no choice but to read MMPR. And as I mentioned before, the issue #21-32 chunk of GG will be from the Necessary Evil era, which is set after the Shattered Grid storyline in MMPR's time period. Ultimately, both series were meant to be read together, which is why I'm so happy we finally got this release.
Here's my reading order. It is not chronological, as HawkEyeTS mentioned, the chronology is messy, and if you're going through the paperbacks or the OHCs, you'll be jumping around some. Either way, I thing you get most out of the story if you read like this: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 00-24 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 01-08 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 25-26 (Shattered Grid "crossover" starts here) Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - Annual, 03 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 09 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - FCBD, 01 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 27 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 10 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 28 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 11 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 29 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 12 Power Rangers - Ranger Slayer - FCBD, 01 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 30 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - Shattered Grid Finale, 01 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 13-20 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers - Forever Rangers, 01 (There is a timeskip after this, where GOGO jumps ahead to after Shattered Grid. MMPR jumps further in time) Saban's Go Go Power Rangers - Back to School, 01 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - Annual, 01 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - Annual, 02 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - 25th Anniversary Special, 01 (This and the previous 3 issues are iffy on canon, and are more like side-stories and very skippable) Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 31-39 (Beyond the Grid storiline) Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - What's it Worth to You? (Beyond the Grid OHC exclusive story, skippable if you don't have it) Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - Old Dogs (Necessary Evil vol.1 OHC exclusive story, skippable if you don't have it) Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 40 (Necessary Evil starts here) Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 21 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 41 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 22 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 42 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 23 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 43 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 24 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 44 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 25 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 45 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 26 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 46 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 27 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 47 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 28 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - Cover Pages (The story printed on the issues 40-50) Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 29 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 48 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 30 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 49 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 31 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 50 Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, 32 (Necessary Evil ends here) Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 51-55 Power Rangers - Ranger Slayer, 01 Power Rangers - Drakkon New Dawn, 01-03 Mighty Morphin', 01 (Unlimited Power starts here) Power Rangers, 01 Mighty Morphin', 02 Power Rangers, 02 Mighty Morphin', 03 Power Rangers, 03 Mighty Morphin', 04 Power Rangers, 04 Mighty Morphin', 05 Power Rangers Unlimited: Heir To Darkness, 01 Power Rangers, 05 Mighty Morphin', 06 Power Rangers, 06 Mighty Morphin', 07 Power Rangers, 07 Mighty Morphin', 08 Power Rangers, 08 Power Rangers Unlimited: Edge Darkness, 01 Mighty Morphin', 09 Power Rangers, 09 Mighty Morphin', 10 Power Rangers, 10 Mighty Morphin', 11 Power Rangers, 11 Mighty Morphin', 12 Power Rangers, 12 (Unlimited Power ends here) Mighty Morphin', 13 (Eltarian War starts here) Power Rangers, 13 Mighty Morphin', 14 Power Rangers, 14 Mighty Morphin', 15 Power Rangers, 15 Mighty Morphin', 16 Power Rangers, 16 (Eltarian War ends here) Power Rangers Universe, 01-06 (It's a prequel set millennia before the main series and is yet to connect to anything) Power Rangers, 17 (Charge to 100 pretty much starts here) Power Rangers Unlimited: Countdown To Ruin, 01 Power Rangers Unlimited: The Death Ranger, 01 Mighty Morphin', 17-20 Power Rangers, 18-20 Mighty Morphin', 21 Power Rangers, 21 Mighty Morphin', 22 Power Rangers, 22 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 100 (Charge to 100 ends here) Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, 101 (Recharge starts here. It was just released this month, so ikd where it is going) The MMPR Pink Miniseries may or may not be canon, but it takes sometime into the future. So do the OGNs Saban's Power Rangers - The Psycho Path Saban's Power Rangers - The Soul of the Dragon Power Rangers - Sins of the Future

And that's around the time Geoff John's GL Rebirth happens.
[Spoiler alert ends]
=====================================================================================
And that's the whole setup basically.
GL Rebirth does base itself on the story that came before, but once the proper series begins, it's all an easy jump-into point, so i've heard.
But yeah, hope that helped. 👌
@@NichoMania2 thanks again. Very helpful. I did read a bit of it on a trial and I was able to understand it well enough. And funny enough I just finished the death and return of Superman omnibus so I think I'll add green lantern to my list to read.
@@bensheridan7967 No problem! And good luck with that reading. 😁 I personally need to start reading more of my omni's, instead of leaving bookmarks in so many.😅 Glad you were able to get through the D&RoS one tho,😌Here's hoping more superman omni's will hopefully come into existence.😏
[Also, sidenote: If you just want Johns' GL run, the og 3 omni's would cover it all. Blackest Night and Brightest Day are kind of just one of those comprehensive, with the tie-in omni's. granted BN's one is GIANT, and idk if BD is in the third GL Omni. but def recommend going through the og GL omnis first, unless you want that full tie-in experience with them. 😄]
So do you read this before or after the main series?
So it's a bit complicated. Go Go Power Rangers launched a bit after the start of MMPR, but issue #1-7 are all prequel content that come before issue #0 of MMPR, because as Omar explained in the video, Go Go starts when they first get their coins. However, #8-12 are part of the MMPR Shattered Grid event which starts in MMPR #24. So if you've got the deluxe editions, it would probably be best to either read MMPR vol.1 and vol.2 first, then Go Go vol.1. The issues of Go Go #13+ return to the prequel style storytelling, but if I remember right they're somewhat aware of what happened in the crossover still.
And as a heads up, vol.2 of Go Go will likely have issues #17-20, Forever Rangers (one-shot), and then #21-32. I split them like that because 17-20 and Forever Rangers continue the prequel content, and then 21-32 are the front half of the Necessary Evil era that show what happened during the time jump in MMPR. Go Go and MMPR both end as series at that point and are replace with 'Mighty Morphin' and 'Power Rangers', each following what would be spoilers to detail. So yeah, Go Go is a little messy and probably would have worked out better if they had just done a big #1-20, Back to School, and Forever Rangers volume, and then let people pick up the MMPR volumes for Necessary Evil.
@@HawkEyeTS would the SG event be confusing if you are just reading Go Go?
@@ConorB1 Okay, so this is a bit hard to talk around without spoiling things. If you were to read only Go Go Power Rangers, there are a few problems. First, you won't have any context for why the event is happening - all of the setup is over in MMPR. Second, a character is going to appear out of nowhere and you'll have no context for where they're from, but you might be able to figure it out by bits of back story provided in the GG issues. Third, something happens near the end that is only resolved in the rest of the event, so you won't ever get closure on it.
Now, as far as the story lines in GG are concerned, it doesn't have too much in the way of aftermaths from the crossover, but if you want to know what happened in Shattered Grid and beyond, there's no choice but to read MMPR. And as I mentioned before, the issue #21-32 chunk of GG will be from the Necessary Evil era, which is set after the Shattered Grid storyline in MMPR's time period. Ultimately, both series were meant to be read together, which is why I'm so happy we finally got this release.
Here's my reading order. It is not chronological, as HawkEyeTS mentioned, the chronology is messy, and if you're going through the paperbacks or the OHCs, you'll be jumping around some. Either way, I thing you get most out of the story if you read like this:

The MMPR Pink Miniseries may or may not be canon, but it takes sometime into the future. So do the OGNs
Saban's Power Rangers - The Psycho Path
Saban's Power Rangers - The Soul of the Dragon
Power Rangers - Sins of the Future
Ok, so just starting with might morphin power rangers the least confusing way to start
Omar, How will they get a quote from you for a collected edition if you only read collected editions?
Ohhhh good point. Time to go back to floppies.
When is this released? Is it out yet?
Yes it’s out now
These are impossible to get in Europe?
They are easy to get (except the out of print ones obviously), they have ISBNs, every book store can order them for you, amazon has them too.
No no power rangers
No no rippaverse.
@@mattthompson3371 whatever you say, racist.
HAHA I'll go tell my mixed kids. Buy a comic supporting a moron that spits hate, makes you bulletproof to being racist? Sure, buddy.
Yes yes Poiwer Rangers.
@@mattthompson3371not supporting black creators is a little bigoted. Shame.
first hardcovers need reprint asap
