RATING: 8 💆‍♀️ Child Brainwashings out of 10

Once again, the creative teams at Boom really do some amazing stuff with the Power Rangers mythos and I know I'll probably continue to say that until I find one I don't like. I wish I had re-watched In Space before hand to refresh on Ecliptor's mannerisms, but I do remember him being like the honorable villain that was super faithful to Astronema. Seeing her dealing with years of her ass getting kicked and being the outcast of her child soldiers group was kind of meat because it felt like it reflected on her transition to Rangerhood years down the line.

Getting her full backstory was really fulfilling and it makes me wonder if her adoption by Dark Spector's empire is based solely on anti-Zordon propaganda or if there is another evil team of Rangers running around the universe.

FAVORITE: Seeing more Sentai-only teams getting wrapped into Ranger lore. I know the "Prism Rangers" made appearances throughout Super Mega Force, but it's cool to see that Boom decided to keep them around. Admittedly, we just see them getting dunked on but it's still a nice include.

LEAST FAVORITE: So many pages are just SO CROWDED with speech bubbles that it's really confusing on the eyes
