I'm a man in my thirties, so Power Rangers was never really aimed at me, I guess. However, did see a Power Rangers movie recently and I have to admit it was enjoyable.
I may pick up the first issue for a young member of the family as he likes reading comics and books. Just glad to see another comic on UK shelves, I wish it success.
