Legend of the White Dragon: Jason David Frank’s Last Farewell

A disgraced superhero hides from the city he failed while a rival schemes for the same power in Legend of the White Dragon. It’s a rough, re-edited passion project, but Jason David Frank’s sincerity makes it worth a look.

The Legend of the White DragonWell GO USA

The Legend of the White Dragon is one of those passion projects made a few years ago that was thought to be shelved, but is now finally available to view. It’s streaming now and will be released on home video in October. What began as an idea between Aaron Schoenke (from the YouTube web series Superpower Beat Down) and Jason David Frank (Power Rangers) evolved into a superhero-style narrative about a hero who screwed up big-time and is trying to save face. That’s hard to do when nearly everyone hates Virtuo City’s favorite superhero, hence the film’s title.

When this hero, Erik Reed (Frank), fails to avert a disaster and thousands of lives are lost, he’s hardly seen as virtuous. His secret identity is exposed, and not even his family is safe. Remember that old adage never to reveal your face, lest the bad guys target your loved ones? Well, that’s what this movie explores too. Although no one in the Reed family is safe, this outcast lives away from the public eye. It seems that unless he’s brought to justice, nobody is going to feel secure.

Exciting Upcoming Comic Book Adaptations of Classic Cartoons From May Onwards

From what looks like a huge Power Rangers revival as one of the biggest comic book adaptations to emerge this year to Jem, what else can we expect?

Sleepy Hollow- The Witches of the Western Wood #1 - Comic book adaptationsThere’s something familiar about seeing these titles return, like catching an old cartoon during a weekend rerun and realizing it still holds up. Comic book adaptations have quietly become the place where those worlds continue, filling in gaps and pushing stories a little further than they ever could on screen. And the cinematic world should not be ignored. This medium is the perfect place for prequels or sequels when the budget does not allow for a continuation. Just look at our examination of Evil Dead over the years.

Sleepy Hollow:
The Witches of the Western Wood #1

IDW Publishing, May 6, 2026

This prequel revisits the gothic world of Sleepy Hollow, exploring the origins of its dark magic and the forces tied to the Headless Horseman. What stands out is the shift toward Sarah Archer’s past, giving the story a more grounded emotional core. It also feels like the Western Wood itself will play a bigger role, almost as a character shaping what comes next.

Fanhome is All Power Rangers with this Latest Subscription Pre-Order Offer!

The good thing about this subscription-based “mystery box” type offering is that you know what’ll be coming, and every item that’s included will whet your appetite for next month!

Fanhome is all Megazord
Officially licensed by Hasbro. Preorder here!

Who needs mystery boxes when fandom has Fanhome? I certainly don’t because after asking convention attendees if they’re worth it, the answer is a general no. Even I knew after buying just one, and have been on the lookout for other offerings that are subscription based and not as random. When I know what I’m getting from this publisher/distributor includes lore cards and better swag in every package, I’ll say yes to signing up!

Their recognition as a leader in subscription-based collections and models has made me very excited with this latest offering–Megazord from Power Rangers. When locating the planes, trains and automobiles are next to impossible for Gatchaman and collector’s pricing for Voltron parts to build any mech is crazy, just hearing about this is much appreciated! I’ve always wanted a combiner bot from any IP and this will be a fun retro blast of the 90s. Shipping begins in October and the starter price is very reasonable.

Another selling point is that when this ‘bot is fully assembled, it can be controlled remotely and it has illuminated parts. I can’t wait to get started on this build, and will chronicle my journey with this product here on this blog. In the meantime, I’ll most likely have to find some STL files to print up some Power Rangers to go along with my display.

Go No Power Rangers or Go See It? A Movie Review

ff66305de18fd6fc4995c625a5110d27

By Ed Sum (The Vintage Tempest)
* Minor spoiler alert

The Power Rangers movie has the potential to be better than its “original” product — a hodge-podge of American shot storyline mixed in with fighting footage from Toei’s Super Sentai series. Thankfully, as a product from a single producer with a think tank of creative minds, it’s not as much of a mixed product, but a well to do update of series still beloved by those who love tokusatsu (entertainment emphasizing special effects more than character drama).

This film offers all the right tones in the opening act which no doubt showed the producers are aware of Power/Rangers, the fan film. Praised for its darker story and lamented because it was not for kids (it is gory violent), I wondered how deep the back story would get. I enjoyed the opening moments since it hinted towards this bloodier direction. As a PG-13 rated film (there’s some bad words said and a LBGT character), I was a little dismayed but did wonder how long this movie will take to get past all the origins and team-building exercises to get to the big fight which marks the last act of every television episode.

But is this movie better than the dubbed parody Dynamen which premiered on Night Flight? While this other show introduced me to this world with its hilarious send-up and mix of 80’s music, hopefully the series I truly adored does not jade what I have to say. While I care little for this decade’s modern music, this movie released by Lionsgate is wildly entertaining. It is set to look at problems some youths face today. Mind you, I will not be drowning my sorrows at a Krispy Kreme, since none exists in my hometown and I ignored this laughingly blatant product placement.

When you get used to seeing a lot of Michael Bay style films over the years to which this film obviously draws its style from, there comes a time where switching the brain off during these type of movies is a must. You watch it for the eye candy and I must admit, those Zords (the mechs the Rangers pilot) look cool! The look of the bad guys is another story, which I’ll get into later.
