Review: I really love these comics. These characters have really come into their own. They now have unique identities to their tv show counterparts. There are some great cameos in this book, as you can see on the cover of the book.

There is some beautiful imagery in this volume. Jason as the Omega Red ranger and Tommy as the white ranger fighting in the snow! Their relationship is really interesting in this volume and leads to a pretty awesome manifestation. The changing of the guards in term of the leader of the team is such a great idea for finally explore in depth. By the end of this volume, we get to see the Stone Canyon trio really come into their own and they look to Tommy as their leader.

All of the interactions between the rangers are excellent. Zack and Adam have a great conversation, which never could've happened on the show. 

Tommy makes a funny reference to maybe becoming a ninja someday. It's a perfect example of the kind of humor that works so well in this comic. Referencing the shows in fun ways, while making this story so well crafted. There's a tease related to the Solar rangers that really excites me. I hope we get to see that team again. 

This is such a great setup for this series and continuing story. The clencher at the end was expected, but a little disappointing. I'm hoping both of the ongoing series move forward and don't rely too much on the past and Drakkon-focused stories. I give this book a 5/5.
