On the other hand, Allor shows how death affects the people you love. This year alone celebrates the 30th anniversary of The Death of Superman, and that event was crafted solely to boost interest in the Man of Steel’s waning comics. Death in comics, particularly the superhero genre, has often been shrugged off as “just something that happens,” particularly as heroes who die come back just as quickly. But Allor takes an unusually introspective look at this origin, particularly how it connects to the theme of death. In the same way that The Psycho Path focused on the origin of the Psycho Rangers, Death Ranger reveals how Spa’ark slowly slid into darkness. And once again, it features the return of a previous Rangers writer, as Allor had previously written the Power Rangers in Space graphic novel The Psycho Path. Death Ranger even builds on the previous one-shot Countdown to Ruin, as the main story is framed by a sequence of a young Andros and Zhane - aka the Red and Silver Space Rangers - being read the story of the Death Ranger by their adoptive mother Maavi. This shocked the Gold Omega Ranger Spa’ark to their core, and they sought to resurrect their friend, albeit with horrific consequences.Īs I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, the Unlimited line of one-shots has been a great way for creators to branch out from the main Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers title and expand on the lore that’s been presented in that title, as well as highlight fan-favorite seasons and characters. Years ago, the Omega Rangers had one of their fiercest battles ever - and it resulted in the death of one of their own.
Power Rangers Unlimited: The Death Ranger #1 is written by Paul Allor, illustrated by Kath Lobo & Anna Kekovsky Chandra, colored by Fabi Marques & Sara Antonelli with assistance from Sharon Marino, and lettered by Ed Dukeshire.
