The Lone (Red) Ranger

Haters of 24 hour comics take note: there’s a giant warning for you right there on the cover. I love the concept, it’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’s a genuinely different thing, I don’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’s never made clear. The book does everything a 24 hour comic is supposed to do: it’s a fun book and it makes me want to see what else the guy has done. And, of course, it’s only a measly $1.
