Review: These two ongoing comic series have been a joy to read and now Go Go has come to an end. I've really enjoyed the asynchronous storytelling. The reveals have happened in such interesting ways. This volume serves as the final in the origin of the Omega Rangers. Kiya is introduced. We know how that'll go. 

I love when the comic takes a moment from the original tv series and expands on it emotionally. Tommy has taken over as the leader and there's a discussion between Zordon and Jason about leadership that really hit me in the right way. Kim and Trini have a wonderful heart-to-heart and discuss their feelings. Another aspect of this series that I've loved is getting to learn more about the family life of the rangers. Jason continues to deal with his father's MS. 

The scuba trip with the trio. The Peace Conference. It's all happening! This was a great ending to the series. This series focused on the more personal life of the rangers and I really hope we still get that aspect in Ryan's continuing series. I give this volume a 5/5.
