God it’s still incredible how the AVGN talking about Sentai and Power Rangers and acknowledging Zyuranger positively is still some of the absolute best “big name” toku review content out there. Leagues above others In enthusiasm, knowledge and ease of access for new fans.

John Byrne's run on Doom Patrol (June 2004 - November 2005) was meant to be a reboot for the team, erasing all previous runs from continuity. It was received so poorly that, two months after it ended, all previous runs were retconned back into continuity.
