![]() For all of that focus, however, the extended setup does result in some fairly flat characterization out of the gate. Aside from Batman and a late appearance by the Flash, issue #1 is almost entirely Ranger-centric, with the book's presumed threat also coming from the Ranger side with foil Lord Zedd. ![]() Much of that initial appeal comes from the Rangers themselves, as they dominate the total page time over their Zord-less counterparts. Having already proven adept at universal crossovers with his work on Injustice, Taylor immediately finds the most enduring aspects of both properties and delights in pitting them against each other. It's when the two teams meet that the fun really starts, both in overall investment and sheer entertainment. The resulting instance leads to Black Lantern Zack meeting the wrong end of a transporter malfunction, setting the stage for a strange shift in scenery from Angel Grove and an even stranger set of protectors. ![]() Even the triggering of their meeting is handled with a degree of gravitas, Taylor utilizing the ever ay-yi-yi-ing Alpha 5 as a Trojan Horse of sorts. Writer Taylor wastes no time in bringing the two titular teams together, delivering a strong and surprisingly gripping opener that evokes the more mature tone currently in place with BOOM!’s signature series. ![]()
