= So I'll just say off the bat Psycho White isn't "anyone" - he's literally a living virus that built himself a body by using the Psycho Rangers as a template. Which ironically is probably closer to what the Psycho Rangers were intended to be in the show before Psycho Path gave them a different backstory. So no complaints from me!

= The big complaint is that this is the issue that sort of shows the weakness in this "new full team made of different Rangers in every issue" formula - depending on how the story is structured some Rangers aren't going to get as much time and space as others. Obviously here Andros and Karone are the "main" Rangers, and Sky gets a little arc that mirrors his show arc.....but Chip and Kendall don't do anything. They didn't even really have to be here at all. In Kendall’s case this isn't so bad since she had a big part in Darkest Hour but I feel bad for Chip fans hoping to see him get a little spotlight, especially when it makes perfect sense to have him on a mission tackling a "ghost". Hopefully the issues after this do a better job balancing focus between all the characters

= But hey, WE ACTUALLY SAW ANDROS/ASHLEY FOR ONCE! Sorry Zhane we had to let heterosexuality win this time

= Speaking of Sky, if I had to nitpick I feel he wouldn't push against Andros like that - I feel he would be too by-the-book to disrespect Andro's authority as a Red leader. I get how they interpreted his character the way they do here, but it's kind of simplifying Sky's attitude down to "he thinks he should be leader!" when it was "he thinks he should be SPD Red because of his seniority, background, and legacy over the street thief Crueger picked up that day." idk, just me though

= In general there are no big lore bits revealed in this issue but Trini's line about living like a ghost and a phantom is a little more support for her being Once and Always Trini. I do kind of wonder what the endgame for this will be though - idk, nothing I can think of right now feels satisfying

= But this will 100% end in a Big Giant Everyone Is Here! fight right
