It’s the comic that’s technically a spinoff of another comic that always seems to fall to the wayside in terms of readers and popularity. We’re going to spend the next few paragraphs explaining to you why you NEED to be reading Go Go Power Rangers from Ryan Parrott and Dan Mora.

Stop the presses because a comic book company has a comic book exclusive at a comic convention! Hidden amongst the throngs of fans that will undoubtedly stand in long lines for a chance at a valuable convention toy exclusive, BOOM! Studios – the makers of the beloved and critically acclaimed Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book series – have revealed their upcoming exclusives for San Diego Comic Con 2017!

This four piece connected set that pays homage to the classic Jim Lee cover of the launch of the original second X-Men comic book series (titled “X-Men” instead of “Uncanny X-Men”) will be available in four different covers – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #17, Go Go Power Rangers #1 (A), Go Go Power Rangers #1 (B), and the 2017 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Annual. You can also purchase the gatefold version (all four connected together, physically) for a solid benjamin ($100).

What a long and at times exhausting journey the last three years has been. From the initial announcement of the movie to the walk in to the worldwide premiere in Los Angeles we have all waited a very long time for this movie to come out. And finally it is here – the Power Rangers have returned to the big screen to entertain everyone for the first time in over 20 years.

But with nearly 25 years of history and a fandom that spans three generations does the movie hold up well? Can Power Rangers beat back the “it’s just for kids” reputation that the show has helped the franchise rightfully earn? Please join us in our NO SPOILERS review of the hotly anticipated Saban’s Power Rangers! Click “Read More” for our full, minor spoilers Power Rangers Movie review!

NOTE: “Minor spoilers”, in our terms, means we look at some of the things about the characters that make them tick (like Billy’s diagnosis and Trini’s personal dilemma). We do NOT reveal what happens to these characters or any major plot points of the movie.

“Alpha! Rita’s escaped! Recruit a team of teenagers with attitude!”

Will this classic line be spoken in the 2017 Power Rangers Movie? We don’t know that, yet. But one thing we do know is just who might say it. Thanks to his own admission on twitter we have just learned that renowned actor Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Godzilla, Malcolm in the Middle) will be mentoring the Power Rangers as Zordon!

What do YOU think of this incredible revelation? Is this the bit of casting that finally puts the movie over the edge for you? Let us know in the comments below!

Here we go! Today the casting sides for the upcoming Power Rangers 2017 Movie were released online. What is a casting side you ask? Well, it’s basically a bunch of lines for actors to read off or to get in to character while auditioning for the role of the character they’re trying out for. Casting sides are not always a guarantee – the casting sides for Power Rangers Megaforce were different than what we ended up with.

Now obviously – there’s potential major spoilers. Below is a screen shot of the casting side with the details blurred out. These casting sides potentially give us the first details on the story (how similar is it to the “leaked” story from a month or so ago?), as well as more details on some of the character bios that were leaked not too long ago (Kimberly being absent from school for six months is explained, as well as part of Billy’s reasoning for being such an introvert). If you’d like to see the casting sides, you may do so courtesy of our friends at MorphinLegacy.com, our friends at RangerBoard.com, as well as the folks of RangerCrew.com.
