My son and I were really excited about this one, but it was way too confusing, especially for a first issue. The first page starts with Alpha-5 and Zordon, which makes sense, but then we jump to the Power Rangers fighting Alpha-1 with no warning or explanation. Everything about the fight scene was jumbled, and I had a hard time following what was happening. After the battle, we see them interacting with each other at school, but then we flashback to Zack nearly being abducted (I'm assuming it was a flashback since he was in other frames later). Saban's Go Go Power Rangers: Forever Rangers might be okay if you've followed the previous comics, but for someone that just grew up watching the television show, it was too erratic and labyrinthine.

The characters weren't introduced until the very end, which left me making assumptions about who each person was for most of the issue (I know there are certain characteristics about each character that should stand out, but it would have been nice to have a refresher at the beginning). I feel like the first issue shouldn't assume that people will automatically know what is going on. Instead, it should be informative and offer explanations while also setting up the story. My son wants to continue reading this one because it's the Power Rangers, and he's recently started watching the television show (love sharing things from my childhood with him), but I'm not sure if I want to invest time and money into something that's confusing and inconsiderate of new readers.

I feel like I definitely read this, but I guess I never logged it so...
