LAST TIME ON MMPR: THE RETURN: Twenty years ago the Rangers went through some SHIT that broke up the team and left Kimberly a depressed hot mom. (Oops, spoilers.) So when Trini's niece Selena shows up at her doorstep demanding to become the next Power Ranger, it's the perfect opportunity for her to do some traumadumping.
it's MMPR: The Return #2!
= that's not cranberry and squid juice
= The intentional misdirection of Rita going to get *someone*, and then having her yell for Squatt, is honestly genius
= First of all I love how this book skews darker and more mature but still has elements of classic PR camp like this big villain-ending bomb being called a "Benevolator"
= Second of all I'm glad this book is furthering the implication from the show that Kim does understand Billy's talk perfectly well, it's just that she thinks it's annoying
= [It's Always Sunny jingle] Rita still gets killed
= So according to Matt Hotson in an interview they weren't sure how they were going to get away with this until Nico Leon suggested making the arrow an energy beam, because clear onscreen stabbing is okay as long as there's no blood. All that matters is KIMBERLY GETS TO MURDER!!!!!!!!!!!
= THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE CLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUB
= and yes they both knew that Kim was pregnant rather than my prediction that she didn't find out until afterwards, which, surprisingly, makes me want to chew glass even more
= Tomberly hug, Tomberly i love you, Tomberly forehead touch, and Tomberly kiss all in rapid succession on the same page but GOD at what cost
= maybe it's because my emotions are running high throughout this whole issue but why did that little "what...?" make me so emotional kjkjkf i guess imagining Zedd of all people saying something with that kind of vulnerable tone, and it being possibly his last word alive, got to me
= BOOM really said "hey, it's been long enough since the last time Kim had to watch Tommy die in front of her, hasn't it"
= the way the issue keeps pushing the fact that they don't know what the Benevolator would do and they don't know what happened exactly is fueling my delusion of Tommy coming back somehow. idk I refuse to let my White Husband/Pink Wife/Green Daughter concept go!!!!!!!!!!!
= Funnily enough, even though the twist calls into question if Sylvia even has a daughter, this is still more thought given to Trini's opinion on her powers being passed on than Once and Always had lol
= Thrax if he served cunt
= so I'm still going to call her Selena because the moon reference is too good and it's really not THAT weird for her to have a normal-ish name considering her mom's name was literally RITA. we just have to give her a cool alliterative surname. Selena Scandola? Selena Sinistra? idk
= [SITCOM CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
= so is it too soon to advocate for Tomberly Daughter/RitaZedd Daughter toxic yuri

Jason's feelings about Sheila Haywood

"God, it must have been hard for you."
"...I'll save you... Mom..."
Batman: Gotham Knights #44 (2003)
"...I love..."
Batman #428 (1988)
"He threw... himself... in front... of me... in front of me... He took... the main brunt... of the blast... Such a... good boy... Must have... really... loved his... mother..."
Deadman: Dead Again #2 (2001)
JASON: "It's weird--she betrayed me to the Joker. Got us both blown up--but I'm not mad at her. It wasn't really her fault--her whole life was screwed up. Things just... happened. [...] You gotta tell me--is she going to make it?"
DEADMAN: "She's fading pretty fast, kid--"
JASON: "No, I mean-- her soul. What's going to happen to her... afterward?"
DEADMAN: "That's not for me to decide."
SHEILA: "Jason tried to rescue me... We almost... made it... So close... He turned out to be such a good kid..."
JASON: "Thanks, Mom..."

He remembered most of what happened. The search for his mother. Her betrayal. Joker. And his own murder.

Because BOOM's strategy for previews has been completely baffling we got a little sneak peek MMPR: The Return #3!
= I'm glad the Putty with the wheelbarrow is quickly becoming an icon on Twitter. it's what they deserve
= white man jumpscare
= THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN
= so....yeah, this totally tosses out my theory that Olivia would go to Billy and Zack for help, if Selena snatched them up already skdjlksjd HOW IS THAT GIRL GETTING TO THE MOON
= sucks about your family Selena but I support women's wrongs, especially when they're wrongs committed by Kimberly Hart
= So obviously the big mystery here is "what the heck did Selena say that they felt spoiler-y enough to black out of the previews?" and I honestly have no idea kjdkfjd the context of the conversation would make me think it had something to do with Trini but the previous panels already spelled the twist that she had disguised herself as Trini's relative, so....idk!
= Billy now is not the fucking time
