I don’t typically read many comics/graphic novels but occasionally I come across something and can’t help myself. Might Morphin Power Rangers vs Godzilla? Sounds crazy must read… so I did. As someone who has loved Power Rangers since I was 6 so I figured why not? Action packed and rather enjoyable, I would recommend.

Requested this book because of Cullen Bunn and Godzilla. Power Rangers use to watch with the kids some. Wasn't sure how it would mesh up, but was an enjoyable fun read. #GodzillaVsTheMightyMorphinPowerRangers #NetGalley

A tremendously fun ride. This was a crossover ib used thought about as a kid and it was good to see it come to fruition. It was quick and dirty and I would have preferred if it was a bit longer but it's still a great pick for any Power Rangers fans. I'd like to thanks Net Gally and the Publisher for allowing me to read this for an honest review.

This was such a fun read I absolutely adored it. A wild ride from the first page to the last.

As someone who was raised on the original Might Morphin’ Power Rangers and didn’t ever have access to the comics this filled a special hole in my heart.

Even better, it was actually a good read.

Tommy, of course, is going after Rita, Goldar and the rest when he tries to stop her from gaining way more power than she needs. They end up thrown into a different world. Similar to their own only it’s been destroyed by monsters.

And who do we see on the page?

Godzilla.

Now Tommy initially thinks Godzilla is one of Rita’s monsters and Rita is absolutely enamored with him and wants to know where he came from, who controls him. Enter the Xliens from Planet X.

Y’all this is such a fun comic. I was smiling the entire time just from the nostalgia but better than that, it’s objectively good.

The writing, characterization, that’s all great. They really did feel like the Power Rangers I remember from being a kid.

The art? Also amazing. Granted it took me a few pages to get used to seeing just how buff the Rangers were. I mean, the red and black Ranger are absolutely massive! One thing that I didn’t like when it came to the art was the style of Kimberly’s helmet. It was too much like a bug and the eyes just sort of freaked me out.

That was the only thing I had any real problem with though. It was such a fun read.

I give it a five (5) out of five (5) and can’t wait for the next installment.

I received this eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to them and the publisher.

RIta Repulsa searches for an Earth without the Power Rangers. Instead she finds Godzilla! Joining forces with an alien race in hopes to release Kaiju to defeat Godzilla. I remember being so excited and confused by the concept of Godzilla vs the Power Ranger, but if anyone could pull it off it is Cullen Bunn. It was a lot of fun, actions scenes from the start. A perfect blend of styles between Power Rangers and Godzilla.

4 stars

Godzilla Vs. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was the perfect combination of the two franchises. The writer did a great job with the story and characters. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Godzilla and/or the MMPR!

This one is a no brainer, (literally).

If you like BIG G and/or the Power Rangers, grab this, turn your mind off, and enjoy the non-stop monster on Megazord action. Filled with classic Power Rangers villains such as Eyeguy, Goldar, and Scorpina, as well as some of Godzilla's mightiest foes like Gigan, Megalon, and the three-headed Monster Zero himself, there's something here for everyone (unless you're a huge Green Ranger fan, who's once again so overpowered that the writers immediately had him get captured to prevent the Dragonzord from being present too soon). Also, Godzilla isn't messing around here: he demolishes all comers, steps on some alien guys, and then when the Rangers try to make nice with him in the Megazord he tail whips their metal ass. Classic Godzilla baby.

I rate this 11 Godzilla dorsal spikes/10.

This book exactly what it sounds like, and my inner-child who grew up with both of these things was VERY excited about this crossover! Shoutout to the letterer who did an awesome job with the sound effects! Live action it is not, but they helped carry the action on the pages. Human characters can look a little wonky sometimes, but who cares about them when there are giant monsters and zords stomping around? This is not the deepest piece of literature, but if you're a fan of one or both sets of the characters featured, it's a really fun time!

Thank you netgalley for this ARC. I am leaving an 100% honest review.

I was really excited to see this title on Netgalley. Although I have not watched the Power Rangers in the last 20 years I am a Gozilla fan. I found the story very plausible in the Power ranger realm and quite entertaining. I also enjoyed the different colors circling each speech bubble to correspond with the characters.

A fun graphic novel that one can get into quite easily.

Okay, so I will fully admit the Power Rangers loving child in me saw this title and got super excited! The Power Rangers were probably my first introduction to superheroes and I still maintain a lot nostalgia for them (the art done at the back of the two kids playing with Ranger and Godzilla action figures would have been me as a kid).

This was a great story for Power Rangers or Godzilla fans and especially if you're a fan of both! And it was fun comic and geared to a bit of an older audience in a way I appreciated and would have loved to read when I was starting to grow out of the TV show.

Thank you to NetGalley and IDW Publishing for making this available in exchange for an honest review!

Before we begin this review, I would like to thank IDW Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this title.

The Power Rangers have fought their fair share of Aliens and Monsters over the years, but what happens when they come across the King of the Monsters? Godzilla Vs The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers brings readers a tale filled with thrills, suspense, and plenty of chaotic mayhem as Godzilla takes on the Megazord and anyone who stands in his way!

The Evil Sorceress, Rita Repulsa, has gotten her hands on an ancient artifact to transfer her to a universe without the Power Rangers. Suddenly, she found herself in the presence of a race of Alien Conquerors called Xiliens, Kaiju, and Godzilla! Rita prepares to unleash her creatures into battle, hoping to annihilate her new foe. But she never expected that the Power Rangers would follow her to this alternate reality, pitting the Dinozords themselves head-to-head with the King of the Monsters.

Writer Cullen Bunn teams up with the artistic team of Freddie E. Williams II and Andrew Dalhouse for an out-of-this-world experience. Bunn delivers a story that is fit to be a perfect Saturday Morning Crossover event, but I would like to point out that this is a Non-Canon story. Meaning it isn’t following the current continuity from Boom! Studios MMPR line, which isn’t a big deal.

As for artwork, Freddie E. Williams II is one of the best artists in the industry, his eye for detail is incredible. He can capture the best of both franchises with his pencil work. His take on the Power Rangers is incredibly dynamic, plus Williams can create a great sense of scale when it comes to Kaiju Battles. One of the biggest examples would have to be when Tommy summons the Dragonzord for a one-on-one brawl with Godzilla.

Andrew Dalhouse was incredible in this story as well, bringing a dynamic sense of vibrant colors when it comes to showcasing The Power Rangers, similar to Superhero Comics, which was full of great effects. Then we shift it to Godzilla’s Universe. The colors are muted, and much more subtle, which invokes a style similarly seen in earlier films until when the rangers showed up, assuming Godzilla was another creation of Rita Repulsa (which got a good chuckle from me).

I feel like there was too much going on for the short format of this book. There was so much action and fighting right out of the gate that it just charged forward at a breakneck speed and something was lost along the way. I think that this would have been better as an episode or two of a show.

Godzilla Vs. Might Morphing Power Rangers, did it work? I’m on the fence. I feel it was a bit rushed and far fetched, however if anyone was going to cause this, it would be Rita. I did feel the plot was very thin though and kinda left myself asking why? It was fun for what it was and I enjoyed seeing all the monsters. I would say give it a shot!
