New today from DC – MIDNIGHTER Vol. 2: HARD
SUICIDE RUN
They call it the Perdition Pistol, but it’s far beyond anything as simple as a gun—the power contained in this mysterious artifact could put the entire world at the mercy of whoever controls it. That’s why the espionage organization known as Spyral hid it beneath as much high-tech security as it could muster—and why someone else just stole it from them. Now only one man can get it back: the human wrecking ball known as the Midnighter.
There’s only one problem: to regain this deadly device, Midnighter must go through the Suicide Squad, that infamously unstable assembly of the world’s most dangerous criminals. Normally that wouldn’t be a problem, but the Squad has deployed some surprising new upgrades to counteract Midnighter’s cybernetic enhancements. Even more surprising is the source of those upgrades: a resurrected Henry Bendix.
Luckily, Midnighter has an ace up his black leather sleeve: his super ex-boyfriend, the almighty Apollo. Separately, the two are formidable; together, they’re almost unstoppable. But will almost be enough to foil the twisted plans of the genius responsible for both Stormwatch and the God Garden?
Acclaimed creators Steve Orlando, ACO, Hugo Petrus and David Messina put the world’s greatest fighter through his greatest challenge yet in MIDNIGHTER VOL. 2: HARD, collecting issues #8-12 of the ongoing series.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #0
After 22 years since it first aired, it’s Morphin Time! The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are BACK in this issue #0 of the new series from BOOM! Studios. Granted the new series doesn’t fully start till March, but this issue gives us a little taste of what we can expect. Issue #0 is made up of three stories, the main story is about the Green Ranger, there is the on-going story of Bulk and Skull’s mischief, and last the tale is a straight Zord fighting. If you were a fan of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, you will dig this comic. These are all new tales about our favorite teenagers with attitude.
The first story first story takes place after Tommy Oliver broke Rita Repulsa’s mind control, and his coping with what happened while joining the Rangers to fight against Rita. The story was written by Kyle Higgins (Batman Eternal (2014-2015) and C.O.W.L.) and it really embraces the feel of the TV show it is based on. I felt like I was reading an updated episode about our favorite Angel Grove heroes. The art is done by Hendry Prasetya, (Power Girl and Voodoo (2011-2012)) which captures the spirit and pacing of the show. It’s apparent in his art that he loved drawing the Rangers, monsters and Zords because they are amazingly rendered. The story to me is like binge-watching the show, I need to know what happens next, and I can’t wait for the next episode.
The two backup stories are really fun reads as well. The first is a Bulk and Skull story written Steve Orlando (Midnighter (2015-) and Undertow) and illustrated by Corin Howell (Bat-Mite (2015-) and Transformers: Windblade (2015-)). This little story follows the hi-jinx of Angel Grove’s own Laurel and Hardy, Bulk and Skull. Again, this story nails the tone and feel of the 90’s TV show, even when Bulk is mocking what someone had just said. The final story is written by Mairghread Scott (Transformers: Windblade (2015-) and Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy Infinite Comic) and illustrated by Daniel Bayliss (Jim Henson’s Storyteller and Translucid.) This story is nothing but fighting and ZORDS! Seriously, I could read a whole issue about Zords fighting bad guys.
Overall I have to say the whole issue was MORPHINOMINAL! If you were a fan of the TV show, I highly recommend checking this book out for a trip down Nostalgia Lane. Check out this new series when it starts up in March.

In his spare time he likes to protect the world from alien invaders, but sadly Chris is still waiting for Rita Repulsa to make her monster’s grow, so he can show off his sweet Karate moves.
