BOOM! Studios Reveals POWER RANGERS Comic Series
BOOM! Studios recently revealed the upcoming Mighty Morphin series of Power Rangers comics and now they’ve revealed the second series in the Unlimited Power era, Power Rangers. This series will follow the Omega Rangers who apparently have to go rogue. WHAT!? This sounds awesome! It appears that the main Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series is going to divide into these two series which will seemingly work together to tell a story. Ryan Parrott will continue to write the story and the art will be provided by Francesco Mortarino.
POWER RANGERS #1 reveals a new cosmic threat that only the original Power Rangers, now known as the Omega Rangers - Jason, Trini and Zack - can hope to defeat! But their secret weapon is... the villainous Lord Drakkon?! Zordon forbids the Omega Rangers from contacting Drakkon, so if they want to save the universe then they’ll have to go rogue - and go up against their Mighty Morphin allies.
Parrott released the following statement:
We've spent several years building out the Power Rangers comic book universe and continuing the adventures of the Omega Rangers gives us a chance to fully explore it beyond the confines of the show. Not only can we add more heroes and villains but we can also bring in elements from future seasons viewed through the lens of familiar characters. It's very exciting to explore new corners of the Power Rangers universe that fans have always imagined - and also never expected!
Mortarino added:
A year and a half ago, I helped illustrate Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers #33, and now I'm drawing the first issue of the new POWER RANGERS series! I’m very proud to be a part of this new era with Ryan and BOOM! Studios. I know that many readers are waiting to see where the new team’s adventures will take them. As a fan myself, I can’t wait to show everyone exactly what I’ve been working on. It’ll blow your minds!
Dafna Plebaan of BOOM! Studios said:
Lord Drakkon is back but will he save the Power Rangers...or does he have a darker plan in mind? Introducing the Omega Rangers allowed us to reveal a huge piece of Power Rangers history - and POWER RANGERS #1 answer questions you never thought to ask!
In addition, the Mighty Morphin/Power Rangers Panel attendees for Comic-Con@Home (July 25 at 1PM PST) will get a “very special preview of never-before-seen art as well as behind-the-scenes information about the series and what’s in store for readers!” I cannot wait!
Power Rangers #1 will be available in November and feature a main cover by Matteo Scalera and variants by Daniele Di Nicuolo and Peach Momoko.
