When Larryr seeks refuge from a snowstorm inside the Flying Horse Inn, he sees the Storyteller has returned. As he purchases a frothy mug and sits at a wooden table, Larryr wonders what story he will hear tonight. What will the Storyteller’s tale of the Godsword tell him about his world? Let's strap on our armor, leap into RuneScape: Untold Tales of the God Wars #1, and find out!

 

Story

The Storyteller whets his listeners’ appetite by sketching the history of their world. After ancient beings created the cosmos, new peoples and gods arose. The God Of Balance brought men, dwarves, gnomes, and fairies to live harmoniously on Gielnor. Other gods followed Guthix but for less noble reasons.

 

When war overtook the planet, the Armadyleans forged the Godsword in the Temple of the Lost Ancients. But Zamorak, the God Of Chaos, decided to use their assassination plan against them. So Zamorak forged a hilt for the Godsword and charged K’Ril Tsutsaroth with finding the blade. As K’Ril led the Zamorakian army against the Armadyleans, the demon entrusted the necromancer Sherok with transporting the Zamorak’s hilt in his caravan. But in RuneScape: Untold Tales of the God Wars #1, Sherok also has plans for the Godsword.

 

Despite his ambitions, Sherok lacks focus and a thorough grounding in his art. As a Human, Sherok believes he outranks the demon warlord. Sherok assumes that all the soldiers batting the Aramdyleans are there to serve him. The necromancer may not be an expert in any particular field, but Sherok knows enough spells to serve his needs. His familiar Maro bolsters Sherok’s beliefs by sugar-coating how others see the necromancer.

 

Amid Ryan O’Sullivan’s tale of a demon general and a scheming necromancer, Maro emerges as the most relatable character in RuneScape: Untold Tales of the God Wars #1. Mystery surrounds him. Not even the Storyteller knows his origins. Maro may be unique, yet he’s tired of his job. The familiar dislikes being ordered about by odious people less intelligent than himself. Maro has tired of this bespelled existence among people who revel in death. He may be just a skull that floats through the air and has no prospects for a better future. Still, Maro doesn't let his circumstances get him down.

 

Art

The burly bartender polishes a mug as Larryr enters. Tables await customers who likely want more options than the casks of ale behind the bar. A hood obscures the thin Storyteller's features. His metal-covered hands and arms emerge from his dark cloak as he tells of Guthix. The horned God Of Balance stands as a giant among his fellow immortals. His face dominates the horizon as he gazes down on the land. After Guthix watches people as they emerge from a Stargate, other gods greet arriving elves, goblins, and demons. As the gods study maps and lead their forces into battle, a short, winged Aramdylean hammers a scrollwork blade on a mighty anvil.

 

Green foliage shines under bright blue skies as Sherok drives his brown caravan through the woods. Gray and purple fill the skies when the sun sets on the battle in RuneScape: Untold Tales of the God Wars #1. The muscular demon K’Ril, adorned in maroon and gray armor, carries a sword that evokes a meat cleaver. After maroon spills from a captured Aramdylean, a green spirit rises toward the ceiling as Sherok continues an interrogation wearing a black robe and a yellow crown. Pink energy surrounds Maro and trails behind him as he floats from the brown caravan to address the purple demons guarding K’Ril’s gray and brown tent. An eerie green light animates the skeletal warriors who guard Sherok’s caravan.

 

Amid Daniel Bayliss & Sid Kotian’s involving art and Laurel Dundee’s attractive colors, Nathan Kempf conjures large uppercase letters into white dialogue balloons and beige narrative boxes. The Storyteller’s words are bold and darken further for intonation. Spirits speak white letters into black dialogue balloons, and K’Ril utters red ones while question marks surround Maro wherever he goes. Thanks to Titan Comics for providing a copy for review.

 

Final Thoughts

When the Aramdyleans forge the Godsword, the followers of the God of Justice set off a contest for the ultimate weapon. As the Zamorakians slay the winged warriors for the power to kill a god, an animated skull could prove the Aramdyleans’ only hope for survival in RuneScape: Untold Tales of the God Wars #1.

Power Rangers Unlimited: The Morphin Masters #1 Review

 

Writer: Ryan Parrot & Rachel Wagner

Artist: Daniel Bayliss

Colorist: Arthur Hesli

Letterer: Ed Dukeshire

Cover Artists: Toni Infante, Goñi Montes, Miguel Mercado & Justine Florentino

Publisher: Boom! Studios

Price: $7.99

Release Date: January 31, 2024

 

After her battle with Lord Drakkon, Ranger Slayer hurtles through an interdimensional vortex. Kimberly Hart arrives in a forest, but where will she find the Morphin Masters? Dark Specter's infection is spreading, corrupting the Morphin Grid. Can a pink and black ranger who has made all the wrong choices save the universe? Let's leap into Power Rangers Unlimited: Morphin Masters #1 and find out!

 

Story

While exploring the forest, Kimberly finds an XI Unit made by the Morphin Masters. When attacked, a disembodied voice guides her escape. The Pink Emissary offers to aid her quest but will not protect Kimberly from danger. Also, despite the urgent situation, the Pink Emissary speaks ambiguously.

 

Kimberly feels alone and unloved. A conversation with a fallen friend offers solace. But in this realm of wonders, is this merely the appearance of her former teammate? He speaks of The Illumination, six elders who took refuge here. Should she trust this spirit with her life? The Morphin Grid is held together by Faith and Trust, after all.

 

In Power Rangers Unlimited: Morphin Masters #1, Kimberly must pass tests. As the Black and Pink Ranger Slayer, others don't view her as a hero. The Power Coin protects her from Dark Specter's infection but not from the violent, corrupted rangers.

 

Aleia, the Pink Emissary, views the universe—and the Morphin Grid—in a way Kimberly can only imagine. Aleia wants to help but must allow Kimberly to endure ordeals and make her own choices. But is it right to stand aside and do nothing? So many heroes have discarded their ideals and now wield their power untampered by morality. Others have retreated from the battle. They view life, evil, and even the death of the universe from a detached, philosophical perspective.

 

Kimberly Hart has lost friends. She's done things she can never forgive. At times, Kimberly's failures have weighed her down. In Power Rangers Unlimited: Morphin Masters #1, the Ranger Slayer must decide where she stands. Ryan Parrot and Rachel Wagner ask: does Kimberly’s history of failures mean she can never succeed? Or can Kimberly accept her past and battle on regardless? The fate of the universe awaits her decision.

 

 

 

 

Art

Memories of her battle with Lord Drakkon haunt Kimberly as she hurtles through the vortex. A forest of twisted and tilting trees shows signs of decay. A robot, entangled by a tree like an unsuspecting hobbit, speaks to her. Kimberly battles animals that glow like suns. Energy radiates from the Pink Emissary as she hovers above Kimberly. Aleia guides her through a realm of clouds toward flying pyramids.

 

Kimberly's expressions and posture relate to her struggles in Power Rangers Unlimited: Morphin Masters #1. The Ranger Slayer wishes she were a better person. Kimberly gazes in wonder at the realm she travels through. Her burden lightens when Kimberly spies the face of a fallen friend in a pillar of water. But she crosses her arms, and her gaze falls when he asks her to trust him.

 

Arthur Hesli’s vibrant colors lure the reader into Daniel Bayliss’ magical world. Intriguingly, Kimberly’s adventure with Aleia begins surrounded by her favorite color. The Pink Emissary’s costume shines brighter than Kimberly’s black and pink and crackles with energy. By contrast, jagged red lines adorn the blackened arms of Aleia’s corrupted counterparts. Black cracks rip across each fallen Emissary, radiating a brighter hue of their costume’s power.

 

White dialogue balloons host black uppercase letters with good spacing between lines of text. Like their costumes, fallen Emissaries conjure jagged gray balloons surrounded by hints of their Ranger color. Ed Dukeshire’s giant yellow letters relate sounds and shouts, while dialogue shrinks occasionally for lowered and weakened voices. Yet even during fights or when no one is speaking, Kimberly keeps us engaged by sharing her thoughts with us in appealing pink narrative boxes filled with uppercase red letters.

 

Whether you’re a franchise veteran or newbie, Power Rangers Unlimited: Morphin Masters #1 is easy to understand and follow. Kimberly Hart may be down on herself, but it's easy to relate to her struggles. The immersive art in this double-length special transports readers to a realm of beauty and wonder. Thanks to Boom! Studios and Hasbro for providing a copy for review.

 

Final Thoughts

With the universe at stake, Kimberly Hart, the pink and black Ranger Slayer, struggles to redeem her past in Power Rangers Unlimited: Morphin Masters #1. It's a fight she was never meant to win. But could she?
