What happened to the world of the Coinless after the events of Shattered Grid? With Drakkon gone, can the returned Ranger Slayer a.k.a. Kimberly Hart take the reins and lead everyone to a better future? Will the division between the Coinless, Scorpina, and the Ranger Sentries be too much to overcome? This was a neat look into a world that left me with more questions than answers at the end of Shattered Grid, and I'm glad the writers stopped to take a look at a world largely forgotten.

The pacing was a little frenetic because of everything that was brought in in a short period of time, and I think the motivations of the different characters suffered a little bit in the process. The writers did manage to balance serious moments with some real zingers on both sides, and I really liked the interplay between Scorpina and Adam. The inclusion of the mysterious character retrieved from Drakkon's prison was also a neat touch, and I liked the uncertainty and confusion it caused in the team as they confronted their reasons for being rangers.

This was a fun read, and thanks to the end reveal, I can't wait for the next volume.

This was a nice return to the Coinless World of the comics. It was really cool that we were able to almost reunite the classic team but in a different setting (minus Billy of course). Even though Drakkon is “dead” (if you’ve read the other comics you know it’s not true), his shadow looms in this book. I appreciated humanizing Scorpina. Her dynamic with Adam was great.

I really hope we see a continuation of this story. The end of the book seems to hint at that. And we have a new team with the Shattered Rangers. So it’ll be cool to see them interact with the new villain that’s teased

Ding dong! The most evil "Power Ranger" is dead! But what of the Coinless Universe he left behind? When the Ranger Slayer, formerly the Pink Ranger of this universe returns to her home dimension, she finds it in chaos amidst the fight between remnants of Drakkon's regime and the rebellion against it. Forced to take control of the regime to help bring peace, it will take all of the Ranger Slayer's skills and courage to deal with all of the danger... and secrets, that this broken world has to reveal.
