Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink (1)

The original Pink Ranger, Kimberly Hart, takes center stage in this comic taking place after Kim has left the team to pursue her gymnastic career. Goldar has a plan of his own while Lord Zedd and Rita are off planet dealing with the Power Rangers. Goldar takes Kim's family hostage and she must reconnect with her powers to save the day.There were so many things I loved in this book! This was made for readers my age who grew up with the original Mighty Morphin squad. Nostalgia meter set to 11!Kim isn't the only former ranger who comes back to ruin Goldar's plan. Zack and Trini are back and they also utilize the latent Pink energy remaining in Kim. The suits are epic! Zack's new Black Ranger outfit not only has pink accents, but also a hoodie vest!There are so many references to the Zordon era of shows. Past zords come into play. The Sword of Light returns. The Shark Cycles are back with an upgrade. Serpentera as well as the helpful zords Tor and Titanus even show up.There are so many little details that really add to the characters. Trini is in Kim's phone with the yellow tiger emoji! Zack and Trini's post-Ranger life is very on-character. I really liked seeing Kim competing in gymnastics and getting to know her feelings on no longer being a ranger.I love how BOOM! is modernizing and enriching the cardboard characters from my youth. There's also great diversity in this book. There's a team of 5 rangers using the Pink Power and Kim leads. Plus its pretty diverse in gender, race, and nationality. I hope they continue this trend of focusing on other characters. Jason is only mentioned briefly. I'd love to see his post-MMPR, pre-Zeo adventures. Or a focus on some of Rita's minions. A Finster backstory, please!I give this comic a 5/5. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! A must-read for fans of Power Rangers, especially if your'e in your late 20's and were there in the beginning.

Brenden Fletcher, Kelly Thompson, and Tini Howard's "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink" takes place following the Kimberly Hart's departure from the team to compete in the pan global games during season three of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers". While in France, Kimberly discovers a plan by Goldar to attack the town and try to conquer the Earth as Rita and Zedd are away fighting the Power Rangers on an alien planet. Zordon shares his energy with Kim through the sword of light and allows her to morph again. When she needs backup, she recruits Trini and Zack, who departed in season two for the World Peace Conference. Eventually, things become dire enough that Kimberly extends her temporary allowance of Morphin power to make a team of five Rangers, even recruiting Goldar to fight his minion, Verto. The action in this book is great and it does an excellent job reconnecting with the characters and exploring the changes they would likely go through following their tenure as Rangers. It also engages with the disconnect they'd be likely to feel with their friends who were still Rangers, ending with a flash forward to Kimberly writing the "Dear John" letter she sent to Tommy during "Power Rangers: Zeo". Fans of the original series who grew up with these characters will find a lot to love here and Daniele Di Nicuolo's art is a stunning reminder of how epic watching the show felt when you were a kid. Amy Jo Johnson wrote an introduction for the volume where she reflects on how she grew during her work on "Power Rangers" and that theme of growth is reflected in the story. Boom! Comics continues to tell brilliant, original stories in the Power Rangers line and this is one of the best.

I wanted to find out more about the Power Rangers and I did with this book. I liked the added dimension of what motivates the Pink Ranger and how that impacts her and her family. It wasn't a deep dive but it was a pleasant and interesting read. I really didn't dislike anything in the book. Someone with more connection to the Power Rangers will probably like it more than I did.

Wow, childhood relived right here. First off the artwork is SPOT. ON. It's clean, crisp, vibrant, I loved it. Secondly, the story is pure Power Rangers nostalgia. You can hear each character still in your head as you read ad it brings back so many memories. The zords, Zordon, Alpha 5, Rita..the list goes on. I do miss not having every single one of the Original Power Rangers back, but that's okay. Maybe as time goes on they'll do a series on each Ranger (PLEASE!!!!!). This though dives right into the mind set of Kimberly after being a Ranger, how it takes its toll on you, and how some of the others are handling it. Plus, the story begs to question, are you ever really done being a Power Ranger, and you'll be asking yourself the same thing as you read along, wondering if we've ever really quit being Power Rangers in our own hearts.

i love it really brings back the old team together again and i got it fir a great price too plus goldar creating his own Megazord from the rangers old zords wicked!After leaving the Power Rangers, Kimberly Hart, the former Pink Ranger, is thrust back into the Ranger life and must call upon the help of old friends.The original Pink Ranger returns!After leaving the life of a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger behind, Kimberly Hart finds herself pulled back into the fray. With her parents missing and their village overrun by monsters, she must reclaim her destiny and discover the power that lies within. She’ll have to call on some old friends if she’s to unravel this mystery and save this once sleepy village

Wow. What a great story, Mark. I was unfamilar with the writer beforehand but will definitely be looking out for her work now. I love that this comic adds to the classic tv show continuity showing us how the lives of Kimberly (and Trini and Zack!) continued after giving up their powers. I love that they form a backup team for a bit and think it would be cool to see this continued in some way. Lots of fan-service, but not in a bad way. And the Zeo Dear John letter gets reframed a bit...

I really wanted to like thus book more than I actually did. I grew up on the original Power Rangers. As more and more of the team original team dropped of I started to lose interest. Now my kids have been watching the series in reverse I snd reached originals I was feeling nostalgic and got this.As much as I liked the originals I hated the transitions. I know actors leave the show but there was a sudden cast shift. The second one was when Kimberly (Amy Jo Johnson) left. I thought there was a lot left unsaid. I hoped this book would fill in those blanks. Unfortunately it did not really.This takes place possibly a year since Kim left, she has lost contact with the other Rangers past and current. Now she needs help and her powers back. The book pushes Kim into a leadership role, but it ends up her reacting to one thing after another. The art work is ok not great. The fights I did not like all. I think they tried to highlight her gymnastics prowess more than anything her fighting. Though by this time Kim would be well out of her teens in thus book she acts more like a teenager then in the original series. As much as the others have moves on she seems to be more stuck.Though I was a little disappointed with this book it is ok. Not bad maybe I just expected more. I did find it strange to find out she thought of Tommy as a brother, that is not their relationship I remember. The cover gallery at the back is great I wish all the artwork was to that standard.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Boom Studios' Power Ranger comics, and was excited to see they'd done a solo story for Kimberly. Here, we see her once more taking up the role of a Power Ranger after her family is kidnapped and forming her own team to save the day. The book also includes an introduction by Kimberly's actress, Amy Jo Johnson.An awesome solo title featuring the original Pink Ranger!

Power Rangers Pink gives a bit more backstory for the first Pink Ranger after she left the team.It's a cool story befitting the Power Rangers universe that handles both fan service and telling its own tale very well.

Bought it, love it and wish the others were printed versions. I'm really sad that this seems to be the only one.

Product was sold as used, but was in fact in great condition. Really appreciated!
