The Adventures of Redbot has Redbot setting up a blog which he keeps updating with stories of his daring rescue of the Power Rangers when they've been in a tough spot. The problem is what he's posting isn't an accurate account of what actually happened. This leads the Rangers to think Redbot is only writing on the blog to make himself look good. Something which he will come to regret later.

It's not often we get to read original concepts but when we do we take the chance to see if the textual journey is worth it. I am glad to say this was worth the effort. Caitlin is due for her first shedding and after seeing her brother Toby go through his, she wants to make it more of a spectacle where she wants to speak to her skin before it dies.
