Comments: The Power Rangers face the threat of Sheeeeeeple. A big sheep/human looking creature that is ridiculous in appearance.  He is one weird Finster creation. Billy shines here and uses his brains to win the battle. 
  The Rangers have been working with Grace and her organization but now questions are popping up about it and her. She does not just have questions being asked about her but she has outright secrets. One of those secrets will blow your mind.
  "The Ongoing Misadventures of Squatt & Baboo" Squatt & Baboo rule the world. Than an interesting twist is thrown in. Well with Squatt & Baboo traveling to other dimensions it was bound to happen.

Comments: Finster has created monsters and hidden them throughout the world Rita is going to use them all to attack the Rangers. Ten monsters on the loose. The Power Rangers even with Grace's help are hard pressed. 
  Grace wants the Rangers and her to work together but she wants it on her terms. 
  This issue for having ten monsters loose has little action. The fights are like one panel. There is lots of talking about what the Rangers should do. Someone is going to have to make some decisions. 
  Rita and Finster are not getting along so well. His expression speaks volumes. Rita it would be nice to see her being more evil. She is suppose to be a villain. Yes she let the monsters loose but her personally she does not seem all that bad. 
  "The Ongoing Misadventures of Squatt & Baboo" Squatt & Baboo meet Squatt & Baboo. These two characters are amusing. They are next to nothing to Rita but they think they matter. They are heroes in their own minds and not all that bad after all.

Comments: Time travel and other dimensions are involved here. Sometimes it is nice to see other versions of the Power Rangers. 
  The story is confusing. It is so hard to follow even if you have been reading the entire series. 
  Drakkon is the main villain here. He is like an evil version of Tommy. 
  Now Kim makes a move. It is a little unexpected but she goes for it. It is great to see her doing so. Tommy and Kim do make a nice couple. 
  There are eight pages that just say Classified. Why? This is a waste. Also a waste of pages for the price you pay. Who wants eight pages of the exact same thing. 
   "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" Blue Senturion finds himself finding some unexpected robbers. Senturion is like a Robo Cop/Power Rangers hi-bred. It is an interesting start but with only two pages of story it does not fully get into it yet. Senturion does seem like a great character we just need to see more of him.

Comments: Something has happened to Tommy. Jen Scott is a Power Ranger from the future come to help fix the timeline. 
  The future evil Tommy aka Drakkon is on the move and he is ready with a small army. Drakkon does not come across as that evil a villain which could be because you think of Tommy the original one and how good he is. 
  This story is a bit confusing. It has the original Power Rangers traveling sideways in time? So what is there plan? How are they going to save the day and Tommy? The alternate Rangers we see are not all that great. They are a bit different which is not always good. They come across as a watered down version of the original team. 
  The art does show us the Rangers but that is about it. Nothing about it stands out and there is very little action.
  "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" Blue Senturion gets a balling out from his Chief. He gets told what to do and of course does the opposite. Yep this guy or robot you are never told which he is. The character is a great one with a common person take to it.

Comments: Skull as a hero yep it is true at least in one future. It is so wonderful to see him in this role. 
  Lord Drakkon may be the Power Rangers greatest foe since he was one of them. He is ready and prepared to fight the Rangers all of them. 
  Dr. K is giving the Power Rangers a chance to fight back. 
  There is a nicely drawn action scene as some Rangers are in battle. There are so many Rangers it is hard to tell who is who. Also what is going on, you need a scorecard. 
   "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" Monsieur Muster is a weird fellow. He is a mystery and one that peaks your interest. Nice colors are used in the art and Monsieur Muster is designed to help show the fact he is a Power Ranger freak. This guy is weird beyond what you may think. The Putties shown here are something else entirely. You just have to see them and Monsieur Muster.

Comments: The two Kim's aka Pink Ranger's are having a chat about time travel. They are with lots of other Power Rangers from other time lines and dimensions. 
  The Rangers are fighting Drakkon and there are just so many of them and all from different teams. It is hard to keep track of them all. 
  Dr. K plays a big part in this war and it is a war. Drakkon's forces vs the Power Rangers forces. 
  The art is ok but poses do not really show off the Rangers much. 
  It is great to see all these different variations of the Power Rangers. They just needed to be used better. 
  "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" Blue Senturion is not shown off all that well in the art. The story does have some Power Rangers stuff being stolen but nothing is really explained.

Comments: There are way to many Rangers to keep track of them all and who is who. 
  There is a lot of standing around and talking going on. The art is done well but does not have much to show off. The characters are there but looking blah. 
  Lord Drakkon is amassing power his only problem is can he control it? The Rangers are amassing to and the battle is coming. This issue is setting things up but there was no action at all. Having all the Power Rangers from different dimensions is wonderful to see. They are an army. As an army they are better than individuals since there is no way you could keep tract of them all. 
  "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" This story explains nothing. The art is so so but the story does not set up any of the characters to be posed in anything exciting.

Comments: The Power Rangers are gathered from tons of different dimensions and they are impressive. The art could show them as more dynamic and the colors are softly done. 
  Lord Drakkon has his forces gathered and the Power Rangers are set to meet him. They face each other and you know this is the battle to end it. The battle is joined and the Power Rangers act as one. 
  Zordon has plans and they are successful just not entirely as he planned. Well when you trust the non trusty things can happen that you do not want to. 
  "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" These two do work well together yet the way they act you would not think it. They act so differently yet they share common goals. The art is done quite well as these two street level crime fighters are shown at work.

Comments: Grace Sterling is on a space ship which is drawn wonderfully. The pink colors stand out so nicely against the darker back drop. 
  All the Rangers from all over are trapped on the space ship and in a place they do not know where. We see that Rangers do still work together as a team even if they no longer have powers. They are people and still have their morals. 
  The Rangers find themselves under attack in this strange place. Their own morals are used against them. We get to see what a Ranger might do if they had no one to show them the right way. 
  These Rangers lost in this strange place must fight for their survival. Their fortitude is pushed to the limits. Yet they continue on, they are after all Power Rangers. 
  "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" As Blue Senturion & Ninjor have a nice peaceful communication, well not really, the Red Battlezord is activated. This is a big clunky thing. Blue Senturion & Ninjor are not a good example of team work. The characters are good enough and their bickering is amusing. The story is short yet could still use some action.

Comments: All the Power Rangers from other times and dimensions are gathered on this space ship. One group of Rangers track down those who stole from them. They are a weird looking twosome, kinda like human foxes. Than they are both tracked down by the Crimson Raiders. Once the fighting starts it gets confusing and hard to follow what is going on. 
  The guy in red,green and black is a menacing figure it will be great to see more of him in future issues. 
  Overall this issue tells us nothing but does introduce a few wonderful looking characters who are not used very good. 
  "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" Our heroes face the Red Battlezoid. This story has fighting yet the story has no plot and makes no sense. The art well good does not have any good poses. 
  This issue needed focus. It needed to decide what it wanted to deliver and than deliver it.

Comments: Who are all these characters at the start of this issue? 
  The Ruined Earth is illustrated as a post apocalyptic world. People struggle just to survive here. What is the Solarix? A Power Ranger morpher? Yes here we see a Power Ranger one who fights and survives because it is her nature and because that is all she has ever known. 
  The Praetor is a conqueror with an army. How will the Rangers take him on? The Solar Ranger with the Solarix does not bow down to this Praetor. Instead she inspires the others to battle on and she does more than that. She is definitely a Power Ranger. 
  "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" These two go to Venus where Monsieur Muster and his Krybots await. They do not appear a serious threat while Blue Senturion and Ninjor appear all serious. 
  The Solar Ranger is a nice addition to the Power Rangers universe.

Comments: The Rangers found a part of the Grid and now they can morph. All the Rangers are ready and willing to fight. It would be nice to know more about them and why they are here and who they are fighters and why they are fighting. The story needs to explain a lot better who everyone is and what is going on. 
  The art does not show off the Rangers in any really good poses. There is some nice use of color in this issue. The outer space tech is coolly illustrated. 
  What is a Solar Ranger? Who is the Praetor? So many questions. 
  "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" The two Blue Senturion & Ninjor are on Venus. On Venus they do find a few interesting things. This backup story though is short yet it does have a great cliffhnager ending that leaves you wanting more.

Comments: Heckyl is a man who wants to protect his planet. He is shown as weak willed and full of fear. Things that do not make for a good Power Ranger. Lord Arcanon wants the Dark Energem and Heckyl will do anything to protect his planet. 
  We see the love a teacher has for a student here. Thinking of them over ones self. Willing to sacrifice to protect them to give them a chance.
  Heckyl gives everything to protect others. 
  The art is beautifully done as we see Heckyl and his teacher. 
  This story is about friendship. Heckyl, Cameron and Kimberly sit sipping tea and they are friends. They are Power Rangers which says it all. This is a very emotionally charged moment. 
  The Power Rangers here as they sit talking are illustrated to show they are friends. Being a Power Ranger is being so much more than just you. 
  Heckyl may have had his moments in the past but now he is good. 
   "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" Monsieur Muster and his Kybots attack Blue Senturion & Ninjor. These two law enforcers work so well together. Monsieur Muster is a crazy looking villain and also a lame one which adds comedy to this story.

Comments: The Praetor and his forces have never had anyone who could stand up to them. With the Power Rangers now joining the resistance things are changing. 
  A lot of the story focuses on the fact most of the Power Rangers here are not connected to the Grid and therefore have no powers. 
  This issue gives us a tour of the space ship the Rangers are on. All the people onboard are intermingling and connecting with each other. 
  There are to many characters to keep track of them all. Plus the story needs more focus. What is going on and why? 
  "The New Adventures of Blue Senturion & Ninjor" These two screw up yet still succeed. Blue Senturion's boss is happy and that is mostly what matters. These two might someday have another adventure but for now its over.
