Synopsis: The new Blue Omega Ranger, along with the rest of the Power Rangers, retreat to Safehaven to plan their next steps. With information gathered from Zordon and the Blue Emissary, our motley crew of heroes and villains set their sights on defeating the minions of their former ally and conducting a rescue mission. But in a galaxy full of enemies, who… or what… awaits their rescue?
Synopsis: Will the Omega Rangers be able to enlist the last Emissary to help to defeat the Empyreals? The Omega Rangers attempt to question the enigmatic Yellow Emissary, who may know the secret of the Empyreals undoing. But even if they can convince the Yellow Emissary to help, it may be too late if Drakkon isn’t on the same page. The fate of the Omega Rangers and the Yellow Emissary hang in the balance as they all fight for their lives!
Picking up from issue 9, Trini has lead the team to, seemingly, the middle of nowhere. The ship’s computers literally pick up nothing, but Trini is able to detect a planet in her morphed form. On a leap of faith, the Omegas teleport down, leaving Drakkon and XI on the ship. Fortunately, there actually is a weird looking planet, although it isn’t what Trini saw when she made her connection. They are quickly attacked by floating cloth, which is actually controlled by the Yellow Emmissary. With his cloth defeated, he appears, only to tell them that he cannot help them destroy the Empyreals.
Back on the ship, after a little friendly banter, XI apologizes for not trusting Drakkon. Soon, Drakkon leaves the bridge and, once alone, makes himself throw up a lock pick he got from Fendrick, which he quick uses to remove his collar.
Back on the planet, the Omegas finally learn how the Red Emissary died. They also learn that Zartus, in his quest for Unlimited Power, used what was called the Celestial Shard in Mighty Morphin 11 to revive the Empyreals. Once Zartus resurrects all 3 Empyreals, they will have the power to reshape the universe. And, now that they are bonded in this reality, the only way to stop the Empyreals is to destroy Zartus.
While they get over the shock of this news, we return to the ship, where the Blue/Orange Empyreal contacts Drakkon via telepathy. Drakkon had been working for them the whole time to help them find the Yellow Emissary. Now that he’s completed his part of the deal, they give him his morpher, and a fully powered Black Dragon coin.
At this point, the Empyreals attack the ship, but the shields hold. On the planet, the Omegas try to help, but they are unable to summon their Zords. As XI attempts to bring the ship down to the teleportation range, Drakkon morphs and fights XI, quickly subduing him.
On the planet, the fight between the Empyreals and the Omega Rangers is not going well for the Rangers. Using Trini as bait, the Yellow Emissary is forced out of hiding, holding them off long enough to free Trini. But then the Blue/Orange Empyreal grabs the Emissary by the head, and literally tears him in half.
Story – 4 or 5: Wow! Okay, big revelations here. So, Zartus is responsible for the Empyreals. That probably shouldn’t come as much of surprise after all he did for the Zeo Crystal, but it kinda did to me. It is also hinted that the Empyreals are the Emissaries resurrected. So, the Yellow Emissary was not hiding due to being scared, but in an effort to prevent Zartus from turning his dead body into an Empyreal? Also, it was hard to explain in the synopsis above, but the Celestial Shard changes the colors of the Emissaries when they are “reborn.” Instead of the primary colors of red, blue, and yellow, the Shard changes them into the secondary colors of Green, Purple, and Orange. If you ever studied color theory in school (it was usually a lesson in your average art class), these are complimentary colors as well. So it appears that the Blue Emissary became the Orange Empyreal, and has both colors in his suit. The Red Emissary appears to have become the Green Empyreal, although his suit looks more like pink and green. So, presummably, the Yellow Emissary will soon become the Purple Empyreal. Adding to this confusion is that they aren’t mentioned by name here, and the Empyreals’ speech bubbles reflect their Emissary colors. I am very curious about this Celstial Shard though. While it doesn’t look exactly like previous depictions of the Zeo Crystal, it is interesting the Zartus would have another magic crystal so soon after showing his connection to the Zeo Crystal. Plus, Lord Drakkon returns! I feel bad for poor XI, and, if he survives all this, I wonder if this will affect him at all. He was finally starting to warm to Drakkon right before his betrayal. Might be interesting to see of Parrott plays with this at all going forward. I’m really looking forward to the confrontation between him and the Omegas. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 out of 5 is that lack of clarity. The connection between the Emissaries and Empyreals is very much implied, but never stated. Too much dancing around the facts here. And, for those who haven’t been reading since issue one, it would have been nice to explain the image that I thought, at first, was the death of the Blue Emissary, but the red coloring makes me think its the Red Emissary. Like I said, not very clear.
Art – 5 out of 5: The art is very well done here. Very clear and, for lack of a better word, animated. Everyone stays on model the entire time, and outside of some slight wonkiness on the Yellow Emissary’s helmets, it is all fantastic. Especially the full page splash of morphed Lord Drakkon. This appears to be his earliest form, with no black on the suit. Basically what JDF wore in the promo trailer for Shattered Grid. It looks great here. Consistency is key in comics, and I can overlook the helmet wonkiness. Power Ranger helmets are hard enough to draw when its just 1 at a time, let alone 2 different helmets joined together, and changing every panel. I did like that when the Emissary first appeared, it was as the Yellow Omega Ranger and Yellow MMPR Ranger, reflecting both of Trini’s forms.
Overall – 4 out of 5: Despite the lack of clarity, this was a great issue. Things moved forward, and looked great in the process. A few new problems are set up, and it seems like the Omega Rangers are about to be overwhelmed. It leaves you yearning for the next issue to arrive already, which is pretty much the idea.
Synopsis: As the Power Rangers and their new allies, the Eltarian Guardians, prepare to rescue Candice from Lord Zedd, elements of Zordon’s past begin to collide with the present. Will old loyalties and rivalries lead Zordon, and in turn the Power Rangers, into ruin? Or will they be able to right the wrongs of the past and save Earth in the process?
The issue begins over 10,000 years ago as we follow up on the end of last issue. Zartus is running out of medicine to help Zophram. He’s also taken it upon himself to tell the Eltarian Elders that Zophram died trying to protect the Zeo Crystal. He also directs Zophram into thinking that Zordon was behind his current condition. Now, with his medication affecting his mind, and believing that Zordon and Eltar have betrayed him, Zophram declares that Zophram of Eltar is dead, and that he will spend the rest of his new life working to destroy Eltar.
In the present, Billy joins the 3 newer Rangers for lunch at Angel Grove High. He’s a little hesitant at first, but the others are confidant Billy will not be kicked off them team for helping Prometheus create the new Green Ranger, and that, somehow, things will work out. Meanwhile, at the juice bar, Matt joins Kim to try to talk things out and explain his actions the last few issues. This does not go well though, as their argument ends with Matt questioning Zordon’s loyalties if it comes down to Earth vs Eltar.
Later, at the Command Center, the Rangers, minus Billy, are introduced to Sentry Force Four, an Eltarian team called upon to help the Rangers rescue Zelya. Zenith has what looks like glowing insect wings, which she uses to fly. She apparently hasn’t walked in years. Zeta is your basic cape wearing, sword wielding warrior type guy with glowing eyes and a mask that covers most of his face. He’s also not much of a talker. Zero-Zero, or Zerd-Zerd (it’s hard to tell because of the weird font), is actually a smaller Eltarian piloting a large mech. And Zag, despite looking like The Flash’s Eltarian cousin, actually creates teleporation portals so he can attack from many angles at once.
After meeting the Rangers, and expositing about their powers, the Sentry Force Four return to their ship with Zartus. But Zartus reminds them that they weren’t sent down to make friends, and that he expects them to use the planned rescue mission to study the Rangers. But before he can say why, he is interrupted by the return of Zelya. After explaining that she escaped, Zartus has her taken to her quarters to rest, but quietly wonders why she’s lying.
At Prometheus on a later day, Grace is surprised to see that Billy has no idea of what is happening in the real world because he’s currently working on a secret project. They talk about the Eltarian arrival, and somehow Grace knows that Zartus is the Supreme Guardian of Eltar, and she’s worried. However, she does let Billy know that regardless of what happens with the Rangers, he’ll alway have a place at Prometheus.
On his ship, Zartus requests more troops, then dismisses his assistant. Then he opens the vault containing the Celestial Shard and calls out Zelya, who he has detected has snuck into his quarters, accusing her of attempting to kill him and steal the Shard. She reveals that she knows that Lord Zedd is Zophram, and that she knows that Zartus has known all along. He reveals that he kept it a secret to protect Eltar, just like everything else he’s done, including resurrecting the Empyreals. When he threatens to destroy Earth, Zelya is about to attack him, but is stopped by Zag, who not only stops her attack, but also teleports Zeta in, who ends the attack by threatening her with his sword at her neck.
Later, Zartus uses a hologram to tell Zordon that Zelya escaped from Zedd, but says she’s in the infirmary, and will soon be returning to Eltar. He then reveals that he’s bringing in the Eltarian Guard to help against Zedd, and that after they deal with Zedd, he’s going to need the Power Coins. See, Eltar is also at war with the Empyreals and they need soldiers using the Ranger powers, not teenagers with attitude. Zordon relents, and swears loyalty to Eltar.
But when Zartus’ hologram disappears, Zordon tells the Rangers that it appears Zelya has failed, and we learn that she had warned them ahead of time of Zartus’ plans, and that they now only have a short time to prepare for The Eltarian invasion.
Story – 4 out of 5: Well, that was a bit of surprise. I was afraid the Rangers were going to be betrayed in battle, so it is nice to see that they’ve been given a warning and sort of have time to prepare. I must admit that I’m a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to see Zelya’s reaction to Zedd’s story, or if she actually escaped or if Zedd released her, but then again, if we had, her part in this issue wouldn’t have been as suspenseful. Still, seeing her reaction to finding out that one of Eltar’s greatest heroes is now one of the universe’s greatest villains would have been interesting. I’m also wondering how much she told Zordon and the Rangers when she gave her warning. Did we just lose seeing Zordon’s reaction to finding out that his mentor is now his worst enemy? I guess time will tell. Speaking of Zophram, I am looking forward to seeing just how he makes the full transformation to Lord Zedd, especially the mystical powers he has. Also, while Zartus’ deception is now even more obvious, and you hate to see Zophram fall for it, it also sucks to know that he presumably won’t get his come-uppance until the end of this new storyline. Ugh!
Sentry Force Four looks cool! Granted they were designed by Dan Mora, so it shouldn’t be a surprise, but I really like their uniforms. And Zenith saying that she hasn’t walked in years is paid off by her never touching the ground in this issue. Not even to stand. It’s a fun little character quirk, and it will be fun to see if it is remembered as the story progresses.
And just what is Billy working on? Will it be the macguffin that ends up saving the day and therefore the reason Zordon does not kick him off the team? Only time, and Ryan Parrott, will tell.
Art – 4 out of 5: Marco Renna’s art has really grown on me. Honestly, I was a little disappointed he wasn’t around last issue, despite the great Dan Mora art, and I’m glad to see him back. His art style gives the book an animated feel, without being anime influenced like Power Rangers. Despite the lack of detail, emotions are clearly conveyed, action scenes look great, and you can clearly tell who is who in the story. The colors by Walter Baiamonte, Sara Antonellini, and Katia Ranalli are well done as well. They reflect the mood of each scene, without using the jarring neon colors of previous issues. They also help add to that animated feel.
Overall – 4 out of 5: I’d have to say I enjoyed the issue all the way around. Great story, fantastic art, and vibrant colors. Definetly looking forward to the next issue!
