Power Banga! Power Rangers/Ninja Turtles Crossover Round 3 is here. Ever since MMPR/TMNT II planted those appetizing seeds for the sequel, fans have been waiting for a chance to see where the madness could go next. This time, Ryan Parrott is teaming up with artist Vincenzo Federisi and colorist Raul Anglo to arrange both darker, heavier, and teenager sets with an attitude of teenager sets.

Parrot makes a sudden turn from his previous team-up in Pace and Tone, and then flashes for three weeks at the end. It’s a smart construction that front-loads tension. The characters are overwhelmed by guilt from the start, and become clocks that tick backwards in time for moments we already know. This choice pays off when you realize that this first problem not only sets up a fight, but also sets up fractures between teams. The moment of closure promises both external threats and internal conflicts.
As for art, Vincenzo Federici and Raul Angulo bring about a more grittier, more chaotic energy than the refined lines of Simone Di Meo in the first series and Dan Mora’s refined works in the sequel. The opening page was a hit with pure visual noise. It bursts with fast energy in the wild and quickly conveys interests. The coarse edges of Federici and the colours of the Angulo dimmer keep the action charging, bringing quieter beats to the ground. The fight feels dirty and hopeless, and is perfect for the Zed Alliance Lord with the expected shredder and their supercharged henchmen.

And there’s the loss. The presentation of the scene was a way that prompted me to think quickly about John Osterman’s Watchman’s transformation into Dr. Manhattan. There is enough visual finality to wonder if that character is coming back. Parrot shows that the hero isn’t easily down, especially leaving enough crumbs in the narration box. Also, be sure to look at the symbols on these boxes. It could be a hint that an amazing power set is coming. Maybe it’s a red herring or a mistake? In any case, MMPR/TMNT III #1 is not a regular Saturday morning romp. It’s big, dark and even thrilling.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III #1 quickly sets a darker, emotionally charged tone than its predecessor. Ryan Parrott’s script uses a flash-forward structure that injects tension and inevitability into every scene to exchange playful crossover energy with high stakes drama. The heavy colours of Vincenzo Federici’s Grittier Line Work and Raul Angulo perfectly complement the mood changes, making every Browland more difficult, and every quiet beat feels heavy. By the end of the matter, this is more than just another Ranger and Tortle team-up. That’s the beginning of the calculation.
