Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Crossover

BOOM! has done so many great things for the Power Rangers franchise. In addition to their amazing ongoing and standalone comics, they've had these crossover stories that just have fun. First there was the Justice League crossover and now Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! It's like playing with your 90s action figures, but with professional storytellers and artists telling the story. I enjoyed this book even more than the Justice League crossover because this story really leaned in. The new innovative designs are so cool! The Turtles as Rangers, new megazords, and more! The book opens with a classic feel from both properties and establishes where in the Power Rangers timeline this takes place. Tommy is the Green ranger, but he's not currently fighting with the rest of the team. Tommy is missing and where he's gone directly connects to the Turtles. This book takes place in a world where the Power Rangers and the Ninja Turtles both exist. I like the kind-of throwback to the television crossover. Donatello is even a fan of the Power Rangers. I expected there to be some dimension crossing, but I liked that they exist within the same world. When Tommy morphs, the Turtles recognize a ranger, but the Rangers thinks they're some of Finster's creations. This sets up great conflict that moves the story along. The pairings while fighting are so great. I love the interactions. The personalities of all the characters really shine through. Ryan knows them well. Tommy's character is expanded upon even more. His motivation is explained and some of his life history is delved into. Shredder meets Rita! Casey Jones appears. April gets an awesome costume! (with just a small modification) There is so much great design and artwork in this book. This book is so much fun. It feels very true to both of the franchises. There's even a potential for a sequel left open. I hope that happens. Or, at least, another crossover story. I give this book a 5/5.

One of the best comicbook writers working today.

La historia es muy divertida dos de las franquicias más icónicas para los que fuimos niños en los 90s sin restricción de presupuesto y con el arte de Dan Mora que es un deleite visual

Epico! Crossover riuscito, divertente, concreto ed evocativo. Sarebbe bello vederne una versione animata, le tavole sono molto cinematografiche. Inoltre sono presenti una Pink Ranger e un Megazord speciali. Da avere.

A great book, though I like the original Power Rangers team, I really loved the original Turtles. I am really glad the TMNT had a lot of time here. Their have been good and bad versions of both team, I really think the best version of both were chosen here. Something that was never shown in the original Power Rangers tv show, but highlighted very well in Boom's Power Rangers comics, is Tommy started out mind controlled my Rita, in the tv show he was welcomed into the Rangers with open arms, the comic highlighted the doubts the other Ranger had about him. This is played off a bit in this comic as well. The other think about the differences of the teams is the Rangers are out on the open bright costumes, the midair loves them. TMNT have to stick to the shadows, when people see them the are met with mistrust and fear more then anything else. I also like April got yo play am more active hero role in the comic. This is a great book. If I had one complaint it would have liked to see more of the actual fights with the Rangers in human form. I would have also like to see more of a showdown with Shredder. However there is a lot hinted at fir volume 2. Yes there has to be a volume 2. Thus is a great comic probobly more geared to TMNT fans but definitely elements that Power Ranger fans will recognise and appreciate.
