I love the concept, it&#8217;s the execution that often kills it for me. Really though, the bar is set pretty low: throw together an entertaining story and try to make the art as decent as possible. Phillips succeeds admirably in both counts. This is the story of a rejected Power Ranger, called Oomph Rangers either due to legal concerns or because it&#8217;s a genuinely different thing, I don&#8217;t know enough about them to be sure. This Ranger, after getting essentially banished, runs into a frog man, a brutal player of spoons, and several Pobbles, which are either killing machines or the victims of mistaken identity, it&#8217;s never made clear. The book does everything a 24 hour comic is supposed to do: it&#8217;s a fun book and it makes me want to see what else the guy has done. And, of course, it&#8217;s only a measly $1.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/redranger2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website The Lone (Red) Ranger Haters of 24 hour comics take note: there&#8217;s a giant warning for you right there on the cover.
