It’s now the new team line-up. I don’t really know the new kids and I don’t think they’ve been given a lot of time yet. So. We’ll see.

Just gonna pause a moment to let you absorb how awesome the Omega Rangers' costumes are.
Volume 11 is post-Shattered Grid/Beyond the Grid and the beginning of the Necessary Evil arc. I was on the fence-to-disappointed in Shattered Grid/Beyond the Grid for pacing and an over-reliance on fanservice reasons, so I went into Volume 11 with a good degree of caution. Unwarranted caution, because I already like where things are headed.
The team has split into the Power Rangers still doing their Power Ranger thing in Angel Grove and the Omega Rangers stationed at Safehaven, and already tensions are building between the two groups because of the necessary distance between them. While the Power Rangers are getting used to their new members, teaching them the ropes, and causing strife amongst themselves, the Omega Rangers are gathering up people who were "infected" with power post-Shattered Grid and containing them "for their own safety" based on the direction of Xi (their Zordon). If this sounds a little dystopian, well, it does to me as well, and I think the Omega Rangers are feeling the vibe that something's not quite right. We'll see how this plays out. The Power Rangers, meanwhile, are dealing with a "new" threat that may be more than they can handle by themselves.
I really liked this volume! I feel like it's returning to what I like best about Power Rangers while also introducing new concepts that haven't been explored in the show. Can't wait to pick up volume 12!

After a nice break from the main narrative in Shattered Grid, we return to where the story left off. Kind of?
Zedd after suffering defeat by the hands of not only the White Ranger but new additions in Rocky, Adam and Aisha, takes matters into his own hands by sending wicked bounty Hunter Dayne. He’s more than a match for them.
Meanwhile, Jason, Zack and Trini are now Rangers on the other side of the universe - - the Omega Rangers. They’re cleaning up the mess after the grid shattered and it’s a new dynamic with a new Ranger friend, robot and mentor.
I like the new Ranger team dynamic on both sides. I like how Ryan Parrott took an idea that have never sat right with fans of MMPR- - how Zack, Jason and Trini just left. It turns out they never stopped being Power Rangers. It’s a nice growing experience for these characters.
The change in Mighty Morphin dynamic is just as interesting. Those familiar with the show know that Tommy became the White Ranger and Rocky, Adam and Aisha replaced Jason, Zack and Trini. But we never saw the transition of the old guard to the new guard. We are seeing that transition unfold in new and interesting ways. And that’s a delight.
I like how the book just splits the narrative between these two teams. I hope we see the narrative blend I. future books.
