I missed reading your...Glad to have you back, Doug! I missed reading your takes on a lot of the indie comics.<br /><br />As for this book, I have nothing, but good things to say about it. I love the way that Kyle Higgins actually addressed the fact that Tommy had been possessed by giving him PTSD (if I remember correctly, in the series he basically just joined the team and that was that), and the added layer of nuance that he's given the entire series. Essentially, what Higgins has done is take something that was incredibly fun and enjoyable and added a great deal of depth to it. That said, to truly appreciate this book, you need to already have been a fan of Power Rangers (or at least watched MMPR up to "Green With Evil"). As you say, I'm not sure how far this will go with new readers, but this is a great book for anyone with fond memories of the franchise.<br /><br />On a more personal (and slightly unrelated) note, I enjoyed this comic so much that, on a whim, I started watching Power Rangers again. At this point, I've watched three of series (Dino Charge, Jungle Fury, and Dino Thunder, all of which I enjoyed) and am watching Ninja Steel as it airs. I have no interest in watching every single episode of Power Rangers, but the comic certainly revived a certain level of interest in me. Considering that I started watching at 6, fell off at 8, and had never even considered revisiting in the 20 years that followed, the fact that I was inspired this much by Boom's work speaks to its quality.Scott Beattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00528480452314914200noreply@blogger.com
