The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers Are Teaming Up Again This Winter

During Power Rangers In Space, there’s an amazing episode where the Power Rangers meet the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the series Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. When I was a kid, this was the best combination ever! Of course, those episodes haven’t aged well, but the Turtles are teaming up with other Rangers this time in comic book form. BOOM! Studios is releasing a new team-up mini-series of comics called Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This mini-series will last for five issues and is being written by Ryan Parrott with Simone di Meo providing the art. Parrott said in a statement:

Honestly, I’m pretty certain keeping this project a secret has taken years off my life. These two iconic franchises were my TV parents, each teaching me valuable life lessons thirty minutes at a time. The Power Rangers and the Ninja Turtles are too insanely awesome not to bring together. I mean, they’re both color-coded teenage martial artists who fight monsters! It just makes too much sense! A huge thank you to Hasbro and Nickelodeon for letting me play with so many of their wonderful toys, as it is truly an honor to be a part of such an exciting crossover. I’m the luckiest kid in the world, and I cannot wait for you all to see what we’ve been putting together.

In addition, di Meo said this:

It’s an honor to be able to work on this amazing project. I’m very happy to be a part of this, one of the crossovers I’ve been waiting for since I was a kid. Drawing these two teams together is a dream come true!

I’m really freaking excited for this release! Plus, the cover is morphinominal.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 will be available on December 4.
