All Power Rangers stories take time to shine a spotlight on each member, embodying the characters and showcasing who they are from brightly colored suits and giant robots. The same goes for Power Rangers Prime #10. June will finally unleash the life of a new Black Ranger. When Jun was first introduced, he was dropped out as arrogant due to the nature of the Eltarian and the fact that his mother Janessa was an Eltarian official. The flashbacks scattered throughout the issue make it clear that this is not the case. As a child, Jun struggled to meet the incredibly high standards of his father, Volara. It continues to this day as Jun is torn between his family and his new ranger abilities.
This is not the first time Melissa Flores has given one of the new rangers the issue of the spotlight, and perhaps not the last time. Flores decides to focus on the choices Jun has to make. Will he eventually join the Eltarian Guardian, or will he be completely committed to this new Ranger team? Past and present sequences give equal weights to both options, but in reality they share one thing that is common. Jun wants to belong. He grew up on Earth for the rest of his life and doesn’t feel like a part of Eltar, and he doesn’t know if he’s suited to him.
In the case of Power Rangers Prime #10, the obligation of art lies in the world of Power Rangers and Simonadijean Ferris, who is not cooperating with Flores. Most of what made “the darkest time” was the moments when the Rangers had deep conversations in the face of Armageddon, a trend Jean Ferris continued here. In particular, it is shown in Jun’s body language. In past sections, he is completely scared of Boller and is shrinking to himself. That’s a far cry from the present. This is the two of them almost kiss (two!) as they see him relatively relaxed around the Blue Ranger Mark.
boom!
I also love the contrast that Jeanferis and colorist Joana Lafüente gives Voller and Jun. Unlike his fellow Eltarians, Voler wears black armor that is threatened from head to toe, with a razor sharp spear and a hooded cape. That’s not what makes him horrible. It is the wounds that cover his face and the fangs protruding from his mouth. It’s a design that suits predators, but more importantly, it looks like a twisted version of Jun’s Black Ranger suit. Rafenta also uses a lot of colours in flashback sequences featuring past Power Rangers that longtime Ranger fans would like to watch.
Power Rangers Prime #10 is another big solo issue that fleshs out the new Black Ranger while showing him that he is a man torn between two worlds. I wonder who’ll be next to me to get the spotlight now, but I believe Flores and the rest of the creative team will continue to provide great character-driven stories.

Flores presents another big solo issue. This time we focused on the new Black Ranger Jun.
Returning Power Rangers artist Simona Di Gianfelice designs Volar’s truly terrifying antagonists.
Jun’s past and present story highlights how he feels, whether it’s Eltar or Earth.
Joana Lafuente uses plenty of colours – this is a Power Rangers comic – but we make sure that black is one of the most prominent.
