So this is the summary, Drakkon and Rita were defeated in the alternate future, and in the current timeline Rita was also defeated but Finster managed to escape for a while, now creating monsters out of real people.
Grace a former Power Ranger from 1969 has developed a scientific program throughout the decades which now can locate the people before they turn into monsters and Zordon has come back from the space between timelines.
As for the issues themselves. #20 was shit. Apparently, the team was experimenting with some edgier, pozzed style but it just made a rushed mess. #21 is better and tries to turn things back into the usual style and now it feels like Power Rangers again.
Also, first pages and… wow.

Los Angeles, CA (December 4, 2017) – BOOM! Studios, in partnership with Saban Brands, announces POWER RANGERS: SHATTERED GRID, the first comic book event in the twenty-five-year history of the global pop-culture phenomenon. In celebration of Saban’s Power Rangers’ 25th anniversary, the epic event begins on March 21, 2018 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25, by Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo, featuring events so shocking that the issue will be sealed in a black polybag to prevent spoilers!
POWER RANGERS: SHATTERED GRID will unfold in issues from both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers and include two special one-shots. Lord Drakkon—a twisted alternate-reality version of Tommy Oliver (AKA the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger)—and his newly reformed deadly army will cross dimensions in order to execute on a plan that threatens the very existence of every Power Ranger ever. For the first time in comic book history, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will join forces with some of the most popular Power Rangers teams in the franchise to face the threat.
“Call me sentimental, but I love anniversaries. Over the last two years, I’ve been weaving threads in the pages of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, all leading to the 25th anniversary of the franchise,” said Kyle Higgins. “SHATTERED GRID is a massive Power Rangers event that’s both a celebration of the property and also the largest comics story I’ve ever tackled. Lord Drakkon’s plan is so much bigger than our Rangers, our world, and even our universe. The Grid is shattering, every Power Ranger in all of existence is at risk, and it’s going to take more than just the Mighty Morphin team to stand against Drakkon’s armies.”
“The key to incorporating Go Go Power Rangers into SHATTERED GRID was making the story integral to the event while never losing the personal stakes of the series—and we are doing that in a really exciting way,” said Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers writer Ryan Parrott, whose series joins the event in April with issue #9. “A fan-favorite Ranger from the future is going to arrive, searching for Drakkon—and end up dividing our team in a very personal way. Thematically, Go Go has always been about examining the past in order to understand the future—and there’s no clearer way of doing that than smashing them into one another in real time.”
Polybagged editions of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25 will be shipped with six (6) main covers illustrated by Goñi Montes, randomly assorted in equal quantities, featuring Drakkon holding one of the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger helmets. Montes helped launch the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic series from BOOM! Studios with a series of iconic covers on issue #0. A special chase variant by Montes will also be available and mixed in randomly within the polybagged editions. This landmark issue will also feature variants (shipping without polybags) by superstar artist Humberto Ramos (Amazing Spider-Man), Jordan Gibson (Howard the Duck), and a stunning wraparound cover featuring every Power Ranger ever by Scott Koblish (Deadpool).
OWER RANGERS: SHATTERED GRID kicks off BOOM! Studios’ celebration of the Power Rangers 25th Anniversary, with additional exciting comics, graphic novels, and more to be announced soon.
Print copies of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25 will be available for sale on March 21st, 2018 at local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the one nearest you) or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers like comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and the BOOM! Studios app.
“SHATTERED GRID has been something we’ve been planning from issue #0, with the singular goal of delivering the biggest Power Rangers story we could tell at BOOM! Studios,” said Dafna Pleban, Editor, BOOM! Studios. “If you think you know where this story is going, think again—we’re making sure each issue of SHATTERED GRID shows you something that no Ranger fan has seen before!”
“From the very beginning, it’s been a joy working with Kyle, Ryan, and the entire team at BOOM! Studios, which is culminating in this fantastic event,” said Brian Casentini, Executive Producer of the Power Rangers franchise. “All of us at Saban Brands are thrilled to be able to bring this fantastic story to Ranger fans all across the world.”

So after two first comics of pure bore and bad art Go Go Power Rangers didn't leave the best first impressions, it was clear this was the opposite of MMPR, as in is 70% slice of life and 30% action instead of backwards but issue 3 and 4 where full of action, good characterization and energy and Issue 4, in particular, excelled above Issue 20 of MMPR that month while finally showing the series' style a bit more light hearthed in content but at the same time slightly raunchier and bold in themes, so after a 1 month break let us see what GGPR has in store for us:
Is weird. Both MMPR and GGPR are both in the same continuity and is curious to see how Rita is shown in both. Here, Rita is still pretty self confident and cocky, even killing an awesome warrior for daring interrupting her, but here >>954820 she's crying, ashamed of her own failures and looking help from low class rogues.

In the last MMPR we learned that Finster gives different properties to different tiers of monsters, depending on their function he applies different quantities and probably different types of magic, so a putty that's supposed to pretend to be a human and indistinguishable at that while learning from his enemies may be able to actually develop feelings.

Is obvious the third group are posers, they do have current Marvel comics in their backgrounds. But I can't barely blame the first 2, this is by far the highest quality official Power Rangers content ever, beyond anything (((SABAN))) has done for TV.

Last update from the normie side.
>The good news
The combined views of all the YouTube channels that have posted the trailer, like Jason David Frank's, Saban's and IGN had reached 1.8M views, which even if we subtract repeated people has to be the biggest reception a comic book has received in years, especially if not from the big two for one of the only ongoing series of comics that's can be considered good right now.
>The bad news
A lot of people seems to still not realize the purpose of the video, for example it was just reuploaded by a channel that goes by "Movie Trailers Source".
So while it's good news to Saban and the Power Rangers brand, it's not necessarily good for the comic or comic industry, much less when people realize that they'll have to read 32 issues from two series and 4 annuals.

For us it was kinda lame because while it wasn't awful, it was clear it tries to distance itself from Power Rangers and what it means, but for the japanese it was just awesome looking flavor of the month.
Which makes sense since every year they have a new flavor, various of them really, at the same time, but for us we all have one every year and despite its differences or levels of edginess we have cohesion on the whole thing.

That might've been not the best decision, five episodes in and I can already see major differences, I mean, everyone told me that Deka was darker and edgier but I guess that was just because people die, but honestly, I feel like the show thinks I'm retarded or something.
>Commander Cruger has no balls neither takes his job position seriously.

>Dekayellow, pink and green are the only decent characters and they don't receive half the attention, combined.
>These dumbasses are horrid detectives, for contrast, in SPD they never referred to themselves as such, they were just emergency responded Spec Ops at most. They brought what the guy wanted into the interrogation room, interrogation by the way that wasn't needed because they have a chick who can read minds through surface contact, ability btw was mentioned there and then which means a lady got her leg crushed and a whole city block full of people was destroyed because of these incompetent buffoons.
>And then for the icing on the cake, Cruger was completely okay with this. Which caused me to have mild flashbacks to SPD when the Power Rangers displayed mild incompetence at failing to contain a robbery after the enemy used diversion tactics and the commander wouldn't let them have the end of it.

In the past GGPR the introductory filler arc ended and we now enter Shattered Grid as the second arc, soon some would say, especially with GGPR supposedly being an MMPR prequel. Is just that by logic once Shattered Grid is over GGPR will have its days numbered since they'll catch up with MMPR but truly it can't be helped since 25th anniversary and stuff.
The last issue ended with future Finster giving an evil Pink Ranger the technology to go back in time, kinda as it was explained in MMPR the timeline shattered across the uses of the grid, which means the past, present, and future are each now their own miniverse.
So we can see here, we have Kimberly and since Bulk is not part of the rebellion yet then it means this future is a prequel to the future shown in previous MMPR issues.
No.992030
>>992027
Man, the art is so much better now.
Is kind of odd since MMPR lowered their art in previous issues to better match an universal style more similar to GGPR which is not ugly looking and very streamlined but this looks pretty.

But that Kimberly talks about Drakkon already being defeated so the Black Dragon used by Drakkon in MMPR was from a further future where he already lost.
That's fun.
Also is interesting to see that Future!Evil!Kim seems to have no respect for Rita when Drakkon was nothing short of loyal as every other minion. But then again, this Kim comes from the further!future were Drakkon already lost so it probably has something to do with it.

Talking about Power Ranger Scientists. What about Dino Thunder Tommy? Him vs Drakkon would be an interesting fight, they should be the same age IIRC.
And last, Drakkon just got the Zeo morpher, those things are potentially the most dangerous as they get more powerful the more they're used so if the writers remeber that it will be great.

So a quick reminder that during shattered grid all the past, present and future are their own pocked dimensions and don't affect each other.
The nexus seems to be Lord Drakkon's dimension but even that's shattered between before Kimberly started obeying Drakkon and after he was defeated in issue 16 of MMPR with their own time travel in between involved.

Anyways if we are lucky she'll do a good job it'll be just one shitty arc, more likely if we start complaining after the first issue appears or something
Anyways, continuing with the plot Jen and Kim are still searching for surviving members.
So as I've said many times now GGPR's art has been improving for the past 3 issues while MMPR has been mainly downgraded to luxury tumblr style which now shows us some of its biggest problems, sameface, if it wasn't for the sentais I would be having a really hard time telling who is who.
