Not sure the world needed this cross-over -but we got it anyway.
Art's not the best, and the story is throw-away.

Damaged teleporter device brought the Power Rangers across dimensions to Gotham City to confront Batman who calls for assistance. Unfortunately, they did not come alone, Lord Zedd also crossed the dimensions to team up with Brainiac. The villians plan on capturing Apple Grove from the Power Rangers dimension and then destroy the world. It is up to the Power Rangers and the Justice League to foil their plans and save the day!

Thanks Netgalley for the chance to review this title.

I loved the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as a kid and so this was definitely a fun crossover to read. Seeing them alongside the Justice League was really cool.

And something I really liked in this TPB was the humor. Especially Batman scaring Bulk (awesome).

There was also some fun science stuff, tons of Justice League Bad guy and Zed stuff, and a lot of cool fighting too.

It was a fun TPB and at the end there was a nice nugget that could mean more in the crossover too. Always a good thing.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to DC Entertainment.

Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for allowing me to view this comic. The illustrations are awesome. The story is intriguing...the Justice League working with the Power Rangers...what student wouldn't want to read this?

This is a super fun, super hero team crossover comic! The problem with crossover events like this that take two properties from two different worlds/franchises is that there can't be any actual growth or meaningful story. It's just fun to see these characters interacting with each other.



This comic starts with a destroyed Angel Grove and Superman. This is just the first example of amazing combinations of things from my childhood. Batman is the comic relief in this comic and it works so well. I loved watching the members of the Justice League interacting with each of the Rangers. Zach often gets kicked to the sidelines, but in this story he really shines. I also liked that the Pterodactyl dinozord was the first one shown. Alpha 5 also gets to do some fun things. The Rangers have to wear some different suits at one point in this story and if you are a DC comic fan, you'll love it!



The final panel really made me want a sequel. These crossover comics can be so creative. I loved the Star Trek/Green Lantern Corp one as well. They are just so unexpected and the combinations work so well. Overall, this was a fun comic story. There wasn't anything too deep or too exciting, but there's plenty of fun. I give this comic a 4/5 and recommend it to fans of both franchises, even if you are only familiar with one on a surface level.

Exactly how you'd expect a crossover of these two teams to go. But it's done well and Tom Taylor is a gifted writer so this works. Steve Byrne's art is gorgeous.

Scripted by Tom Taylor, whose work on the Injustice: Gods Among Us video-game tie-in comic-book series has garnered rave reviews, the six-part miniseries scratches every itch that a Power Rangers and Justice League fan could possibly have. Using the most recognisable formations of both teams and stripped from complex continuities, this story is easily accessible for the most casual of comic-book readers, giving us a glimpse at what could have been the most amazing episode of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers ever, even rivalling that one episode of Power Rangers in Space when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles popped up!

Despite his prior relationship with the DC Universe, Taylor manages to write a strong narrative for the Power Rangers, particularly Zack, who is responsible for the catastrophe that leads to the two teams uniting. With such an expansive cast, it is inevitable that some characters, such as Wonder Woman and Green Lantern are relegated to the background, but interestingly Taylor focuses on some of the traditonally under-utilised characters such as Alpha Five, Cyborg, Zack and Billy, instead of the expected focal points of Jason, Tommy, Superman and Batman. Even those who don't get the spotlight get a brief moment to shine, and I loved the alternate identities and weapons that some of the Power Rangers gain access to midway through the series.

Mirroring his decision to focus on some of the under-used Power Rangers and Justice League members, Tom Taylor also picks an unlikely pair of villains to torment our heroes. I quite enjoyed the relationship between the two villians and it was refreshing to see them almost succeed in their plans. While those early adventures of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers were very formulagic in their storylines, Taylor plays about with the format in this story and as a result, the characters from the Power Rangers' world feel more three-dimensional and interesting than before. There's an interesting scene that deals with the real-world ramifications of fighting the leviathan beasts – hammering home the consequences behind those over-the-top battles that would conclude every episode. While the adventure spans both dimensions, it feels predominately like a Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers story, in which the Justice League guest-star – which is surprising given Taylor's experience with the DC Universe.

Art-wise, Justice League / Power Rangers is a feast for the eyes with Stephen Byrne providing a clear-cut and animated style that unites the two franchises together, capturing the essence of both universes. I loved his take on the Power Rangers, and the attention to detail on both the costumes and their various Zords was fantastic. I had never considered reading the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers comic before now, but after seeing the characters realised on the printed page, I am very much interested in seeing how Boom Studios interprets the TV show. Byrne does a brilliant job with the Justice League too, although the shading on Superman's chin often made him look unshaven – a look rarely seen in the comic books, and thanks to CGI, not seen in the movies either.

There is a tremendous sense of fun to this series and while it does tread familiar tropes in the crossover format, such as the initial conflict and misunderstanding between the two sets of heroes, and the team-up between two villains from each universe – it still created some fantastic set-pieces and fulfilled the unspoken dreams of countless children of the nineties. Clearly, both Taylor and Byrne have fondness for both franchises and it shows in the attention to detail seen in both script and art design. However, this miniseries is more than just nostalgic fan-service, it is an enjoyable tale in its own right and it definitely delivers upon the hype and promise of its title. Treat your inner-child to a blast of nineties pop culture awesomeness and pick up this collection – you won't regret it!

The artwork was outstanding. This was a well done crossover. I hope to see more!

Though overall pretty fun it definitely relied a lot more heavily on Power Rangers lore than I'm familiar with (I watched the show as a kid but retained very little of it). That said, it was a nice mixture of nostalgia and excitement, and they definitely chose an interesting villain team up that really challenged the heroes that I thought was a great choice. One final thing, I did feel like things wrapped up very quickly, which felt almost like the run got shortened by one issue unexpectedly or the like.

This graphic novel is bound to fly off the shelves of my Media Center. In this exciting tale, the Justice League squares off against the Power Rangers. It will prove to be unsettling for readers who know of both superheroes as the good forces against evil so no one will be able to put down the book until they have finished it. Ultimately, the issue is resolved in a positive manner so good versus evil remains untainted.
