Andre the Black Nerd got to meet R.J. Cyler, who will be playing Billy the Blue Ranger in next year's film. I'd expect an interview with him will soon follow on his Youtube channel.

The cover art is clearer in this link. It's also really 8 discs.

As someone who is obsessed with logos. I must say I dig it a lot.
I'm not a Power Rangers fan though.

Why are you asking? It's not like I'm bashing it. I just check out threads and I wanted to give my opinion about the logo.

Okay, fair enough. I just couldn't help but wonder why. At least you did a better job than a few other people.

What do you mean by "at least"?
I didn't do anything wrong. So there's no need to say "Well, at least you did better than others."

I meant that you didn't come in sh*tting on the show despite not being a fan.

Pointing out the obvious, but okay.

I just read MMPR#0. It is a challenge to fit everything into a confined 22 pages. The thing here is it did it with two stories of 12 pages of material. I hope with #1 it will give us one story to give ample time to focus on one chapter/episode/story. If it was probably wise to start immediately after Green With Evil to not have to readapt Day of The Dumpster and Green With Evil. How much will it have to be wedded to the progression of the series such as the cycle of the green powers and the eventual power transfer will probably be answered in time. We get to see them as they truly are in the high school classroom. That was interesting. I feel like the sneaking messages on their iPhones was just Higgins way of saying its happening now instead of 1993-1994 school year. As a teacher I see iPhones out all the time with earbuds. Texting people across the room I admit I would be tempted to do if the tech existed when I was a student, but the kids I know distract themselves with it in other ways. It jumps immediately into giant monster vs Megazord. Why? Lack of space. That was fine. I never got into the zord fight as much as I like the choreography of the costumed rangers vs regular sized monster. Still it proved the plot point that Rita is still in Tommy's head and worked itself out well. I liked what I saw. The art was amazing not just the covers, but the interiors as well. My main gripe was aside from Billy referring to Tommy and Jason as the Green and Red Ranger in the first story they all called each other by their names when they are supposed to have secret identities. They need to put in practice if you are in costume your name changes whether anyone else is around or not. Good start and tease with the underused Scorpina. It has me interested to see what the overlooked crystal is. 88 B. In summary don't force technology in to tell us its modern and don't call them by their names. Give me a ranger vs normal sized monster. Kudos on the characterization in just one issue alone. I will have issue 1 ordered before its March release date.

Here are a couple of reviews from other sites.

I would like to see what the sales for this are. It will be interesting to see just how well the series will do when it resumes a s an ongoing in March after skipping February. The series has potential. My guess is it will maintain number around the TMNT IDW series if the plotting and characterization maintain the course its headed in. This is trickier though considering its just one era of one team and its questionable how long it can maintain while IDW is drawing form all sorts of sources and doing its own thing. Wish the book luck.

So stoked

Also I must locate these PR Comics

*ZariusTwo* · 01-26-2016, 08:36 AM

In an interview with Bandai UK on the 24th, they apparently revealed the name "Ninja Steel" has been changed to "Ninja Strike"

*Allio* · 01-28-2016, 08:37 AM

just because it's cool

So today, there was news of the release of the second Dino Charge DVD volume, and the release of the Kakuranger DVD.

The second PRDC DVD volume is subtitled "Resurgence" and has episodes 5-8, and will be released on April 12th. That happens to be the day Shout! Factory scheduled the Wild Force set for release as well.

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Pow...Volume-2/21953

Pre-orders for Kakuranger have gone live at Shout! Factory's site, and is scheduled for release on May 17th. It's also confirmed to have ten discs. If you pre-order at their site, you can get it two weeks early. I figured they'd do that since that's what they did with the Dairanger DVD. People who pre-ordered Zyuranger at their site got it early too.

This comes out before my birthday. If this year weren't a leap year, it would actually be getting released on my birthday.
