Power Rangers Prime is the Reboot Fans Want — GeekTyrant
The series is written by Melissa Flores with art by Michael Yg and I'm loving it. This article feels a little awkward in terms of timing because I've read the already released Power Rangers Prime #1-6, #7 comes out on June 4, and Vol. 1 which includes #1-4 releases on June 3.
I think my approach will be to mostly cover the first four issues, but I might allude to things that happen in #5-6. I will also say that anything revealed in the first issue will not fall under the spoiler tag, but later issues will.
The Power Rangers universe is reborn… It's time for Prime!
In this thrilling relaunch of the Power Rangers comic book universe, five young adults are chosen to inherit incredible powers, suddenly finding themselves in a universe-spanning conflict with an authoritarian empire, alien monsters, and a very… familiar villain.
This is a completely original take on Power Rangers and I am all for it. Many of the characters we follow are original characters like Mark and Jun, but then there are familiar faces like Lauren Shiba and Bulkmeier. So far, I really like how most of the main characters appear to be original, but there are handfuls of beloved characters sprinkled in here and there as a treat for longtime fans.
It's very important to remember that this is a completely different universe than what we're used to in a Power Rangers series. Yes, it takes place on Earth, but it's an Earth with tons of aliens around and Eltarians came to Earth 70 years prior to help against another alien invasion and they have since colonized Earth. The VR Troopers are the superheroes that help stop big problems because Power Rangers are not approved by Eltar which is what establishes a big part of the conflict in this series.
As you can probably tell from that last paragraph, Power Rangers Prime very much looks at political struggles like classism (colonizer vs refugee) and racism (Eltarian vs non-Eltarian) as well as police states and how different groups experiencing it view the world around them. There's also the classic good vs evil, friendship, relationships, etc. As you can tell, the Power Rangers are going to be more of a resistance force instead of the heroes of grandeur that we are used to.
I'm in love with this story from Flores and the art from Yg. Everything is so well cared for so far and I highly recommend that any Power Rangers fan pick this one up. The redesigns of some characters and suits are also very cool. I mean, just look at the Red Ranger from the cover of Power Rangers Prime #1! I'm definitely going to do my best to keep up with Power Rangers Prime .

71-Year-Old Jockey Perry Ouzts Approaching New Record
71-Year-Old Jockey Perry Ouzts Approaching New Record originally appeared on Paulick Report. "Ironman" jockey Perry Ouzts, 71, will start a new record for starts in a Thoroughbred horse race in this Saturday's fifth race at Belterra Park in Cincinnati, Ohio. The veteran jockey will enter the starting gate for a 53,579th time, eclipsing the previous record set by retired California-based rider Russell Baze. At this writing, Ouzts sports a record of 53,570 starts– 7,514 wins – 7,013 seconds – 6,694 thirds, for earnings of $53,055,913. The next active rider is Hall of Famer John Velazquez with 37,363 mounts and 6,703 is also the record holder as the oldest jockey to win a race in North America — a feat he accomplished last summer. Ouzts has spent most of his career riding in Northern Kentucky and Ohio. Though he has never won a graded stakes race, he was the subject of an award-winning 2015 documentary "Ironman Perry Ouzts," produced by the Hennegan ranks fifth all-time in wins, trailing only Russell Baze (12,842 wins), Laffit Pincay Jr. (9,530), William Shoemaker (8,833), and Pat Day (8,803).Ouzts told John Engelhardt that loyalty has been a key factor in his success. He credits the support of trainers W.J. Danner, Larry Holt, Joe Woodard, Bill Connelly, Matt Kordenbrock, Barb Riley and Larry Smith for the many winners they have put him up on. He has also had the same agent, Jamie Fowler, for 38 years. Fowler contracted throat cancer in February of 2023 and has undergone 50 radiation treatments, several surgeries, and 10 months of physical therapy. This week, Fowler was declared cancer-free. According to Ouzts: 'I asked if he could still do the job from home when it was discovered, and with texting, video replays and other on-line features, he hasn't missed a beat.' He has won 35 meet titles at River Downs/Belterra Park, 13 titles at the now defunct, Beulah Park and 2 titles at Turfway Park. He won the last race at River Downs and the first race there under its new name Belterra Park. He was the first jockey to win a stakes race at 70 years old. His richest races won were the $200,000 Cradle Stakes (2007), the $100,000 Queen City Oaks (1988) and the $100,000 Green Carpet Stakes (this season). He won four races on a horse named Oats N' Ouzts. He and his wife, Toni have two sons – Kyle (35) and Tyler (32). This story was originally reported by Paulick Report on Jul 24, 2025, where it first appeared.
