Rangers, Monsters, and Putties galore in this gripping new installment of Godzilla vs. the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! Fun and action packed, with plenty of monsters and villains to keep anyone occupied and guessing, it was an incredible addition to the lore of the Morphin Grid, and to the lore of everyone’s favorite nuclear monster.

Preface: I'm a HUGE Godzilla fan. I have nostalgia for the first season or 2 of Power Rangers, having grown up watching it, but I don't go back to it. I did once, it was terrible. Best left in the past.

Preface 2: I read part one expecting a mess, but needing to see it cause of my nostalgia for the properties. It came as a surprise, and I highloy enjoyed it.

Part 2 is the mess I expected out of the original, only worse. Cullen Bunn is a decent writer, however the dialogue in this is terrible, and I won't even get started on how half hearted the whole "it's a multi-verse!" thing comes off. It's a meme for a reason, and he didn't even TRY to make it palatable. I get this is a goofy premise to begin with, but come on!

Further, the art is terrible. At the best of times the scale of things is all over the place, often within the same frame, and it's far too often hard to even tell what's happening, or who is even supposed to be rendered in a given frame outside of their colors. This is made all the worse come off the back of the first series, where you had Freddie Williams' amazing (if over buff) art. You shouldn't compare artists, but when it's in a series, it's hard not to compare the follow up.

Once we hit the 55% point, and we had both good and evil rangers morphed using kiaju powers, and Godzilla had cosplayed the Dragonzord I was done. This is a sequel that shouldn't have existed, and only did as a cash grab, and it's grossly obvious.

I was not a big fan of the follow up entry in this strange mashup. The artists decided to change styles, much to the detriment of the title. The story was half baked and very much rushed at the end of the volume. The characters felt kind of life less and the new art style was so jolting as to remove your from immersing yourself into the story. A lackluster follow up to a mediocre series. Very disappointed.

I might be a bit partial, but I grew up with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, so seeing a mashup with Godzilla, the King of Monsters, feels like a total win. The storyline really pulls you in, and I found it hard to put down.

The artwork is fantastic, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s the kind of read that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

If you're a fan of either the Power Rangers or Godzilla, this is definitely a must-read. It perfectly blends the two worlds in a way that’s super fun.

Thank you NetGalley and IDW Publishing for allowing me to review this comic book.

My thanks to NetGalley and IDW Publishing for an advance copy of this universes colliding crossover bringing together two of the most powerful Japanese exports in entertainment in one graphic novel.

I first discovered the power of Godzilla when I came home early and was flipping the channels on television, waiting for my cartoons to start. Channel 9 in New York was in the midst of its Monster Week and I came across my first taste of Kaiju, a flavor that I have never gotten tired of. I have no memory which one. Godzilla was fighting, and crushing tanks and cities. That was more than enough. My brother was the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fan. I had the idea from Battle of the Planets and Voltron cartoons, and Shogun Warriors toys when I was young, but he was the one that discovered them, and was soon hooked. I knew they were edited shows from Japan, but still there was something about the show that was kind of addicting. That one would keep coming back to, even after flipping away. Never would I have thought that these two tastes would come together, legally that must have been a nightmare. Nor that they would be having a second team-up and yet they have and the consequences of their actions might end everything in Godzilla Vs. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers II written by Cullen Bunn with art by Baldemar Rivas.

The book starts with a bang from the very first panel. The White Ranger has found himself on an Earth that looks much like his own, except it is not. The city around him has been destroyed, but not by the Ranger's usual foes, but by the King of all Monsters Godzilla. The White Ranger has found himself in a universe not his own. Before things get hot between them, they are attacked from all sides by familiar creatures determined to bring the Ranger down. Rita Repulsa and Astronema have created a very wicked plan, a plan to capture the Rangers of all the multiverse, and use their power to control everything or destroy it. Rescuing the trapped Rangers from different worlds is only one of the tasks set before our heroes, with a larger task being how to deal with an angry Godzilla. Joined by allies, and sometime enemies Godzilla and Power Rangers fight to free the entire multiverse from falling into darkness.

The story hits hard and keeps going. Full disclosure, this is the section adventure and I must admit I did miss the first one, so much might be explained in the first collection. That said I had no problem following along and picking up the story. The idea of a multiverse is a little played, but works here as one can get different forms of Kaiju and different rangers. The stakes slowly grow with the addition of a Godzilla ally, a character that makes perfect sense for the story. There are a lot of throwbacks and familiar characters, some that might take a few seconds to remember, but that is part of the fun. The art is big, brassy, bold and boomy, with lots of fights, lots of destruction, and a lot of fun backgrounds. This must have been a lot of fun to illustrate. Though drawing all those Rangers must have been tiring. The art really works well here, and complements the story well.

For fans of both this will be a lot of fun. Readers of the first book will have a better grasp of what is going on, but like I said I caught up pretty quickly. Good story + great art = lots of fun. Go Go Godzilla.

In my review of the original crossover, I'd written that it starts on page one and you're already out of breath and that in a sequel, I might of liked to see a little bit of a slower pace. That didn't happen. It was once again a huge amount of story tightly jammed into a smaller package. Oh, it was super fun and the ideas and depth of the worlds we played in were excellent but it felt a little too much like a race sometimes. I really enjoyed the sprint to the end though.

Special Thanks to IDW Publishing and Netgalley for the digital ARC. This was given to me for an honest review.

Oh look! More! The first volume was Godzilla coming into the world of the Power Rangers, and this volume has the white ranger transported to Godzilla's universe there are lots of fun cameos on both sides, like before. The momentum keeps rolling. The first one was fun, and so is this one in a "more of the same" kind of way. It's a good crossover and it works well for fans of both franchises. It was nice to see it continue!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Go go power rangers! This was a fun mash up and I was so excited to share the power rangers with my child. This will be a great read for kids.
