Boom! Studios

At the end of the second issue of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the last page revealed a new threat for both teams. According to Ryan Parrott, in our interview with him last month, this page was part of his initial pitch for the mini-series.

While the last page gave us a tease, last week Boom! Studios sent out a press release of new design’s full appearance debuting in Issue 3 on sale February 5, 2020.

COMIC PREVIEW – Go Go Power Rangers 27

By | |
2 Comments

This week (January 15th) Boom Studios releases Go Go Power Rangers Issue 27, the first of two GGPR issues coming out this month (Issue 28 releases on January 29th) and the second week of six straight weeks of Power Rangers comics.

NECESSARY EVIL CONTINUES! Trini and Zack meet the one person who can make them OMEGA RANGERS, but are warned about the consequences of joining Jason. At the Tower of Light, Tommy faces off against Lord Zedd, but without his powers will he be strong enough to stop him?

Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:

“While there are still some surprises in this issue, almost half the book is filling in the gaps and retelling part of White Light. I appreciate when the comics tie into show continuity, but this issue did not make as strong an impact as past issues. Part of the reason for that is this issue feels like a winding down of the Necessary Evil story, and maybe Go Go Power Rangers as a whole. At this point, the mainline comic has informed enough about the arc to create a checklist of what now needs to happen in GGPR.

With events the events of Go Go Power Rangers moving ever closer to the start of Necessary Evil in Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Issue 40, one has to wonder where the story will go when Necessary Evil concludes. As we approach milestone issues like GGPR 30 and MMPR 50 this year, the possibilities are wide open for dramatic shifts in story lines.

For Go Go Power Rangers it might be the opportunity to completely change direction. An anthology series perhaps? Or is there a possibility of this series ending? I hope not, because was Go Go does best is a take a more personal look into the Rangers’ lives and lately, make a stronger connection to events in the main comic.

Overall, in this issue, the dialogue and artwork continue to be the same great standard we’ve had throughout the run. In two weeks, we take a break from the main story and focus on Rita. What will her role in Necessary Evil be when she is still stuck in a space dumpster? We are definitely looking forward to that answer!”

Shocking Betrayal in MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46

It’s Ranger VS Ranger in Newest Chapter of Necessary Evil in December 2019

LOS ANGELES, CA (December 10, 2019) – BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), today revealed a new look at MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 by the all -star team of acclaimed writer Ryan Parrott (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenate Mutant Ninja Turtles), Shattered Grid artist Daniele di Nicuolo (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), colorist Walter Baiamonte (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), and letterer Ed Dukeshire (Angel), the essential next chapter in the epic POWER RANGERS event, Necessary Evil, arriving in December 2019.

The ALL NEW OMEGA RANGERS discover a shocking betrayal from one of their own! As Safe Haven turns into a RANGER VS RANGER battleground, not everyone will make it out alive.

Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:

“The board is set, the pieces are in position. In the latest chapter of Necessary Evil, The Anointed makes their move against the Omega Rangers. No punches are pulled, literally.

Artist Daniele di Nicuolo continues the trend of fights drawn so well, you can feel every impact. Downward force punches never get old for me, and in this issue… there’s one that will have serious consequences for the next issue.

It’s not all kicking and punching though. Writer Ryan Parrott writes a fantastic scene with Tommy and Kimberly that deals with the building tensions between the Mighty Morphin’ team. Tommy has a lot to learn about being a leader, and it’s great to see this evolution of the character.

The ending of this issue will make you rethink what you might be guessing will happen in this arc, and that’s a good thing.”

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 features a main cover by Jamal Campbell (Naomi), as well as a special foil variant of the iconic Helmet Covers featuring the Armored Red Ranger by fan favorite artist Goñi Montes (Sandman Universe), a collectible Trading Card variant cover by Kris Anka (Runaways) and designed by Dylan Todd. The MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 cover by Anka features the Red Omega Ranger, Jason Lee Scott, with an image of the Red Omega Ranger in action on the front, and stats on the back cover, including team name, alias, and biography.

The MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 Story variant cover depicts the next essential chapter in an eleven-part series written by writer Ryan Parrott and illustrated by acclaimed artist Dan Mora, following the enigmatic, all-knowing Emissaries as they travel space and time, unearthing never-before-seen details of the immediate aftermath of the explosive events of Shattered Grid and changing the course of MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS comic history forever.

Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:

“Go Go Power Rangers has always been a comic about exploring the backstories of the characters and adding depth and context to events we think we might know from watching the show. This issue continues that trend in great spectacle and lore building.

As seen in the preview, we have a flashback from when Tommy was under Rita’s spell during Green With Evil. This event becomes a focal point for later in the issue, where Tommy’s motivations and character is being questioned.

Bouncing between GGPR and MMPR throughout Necessary Evil makes for interesting reading. We know that Tommy will become the White Ranger, but seeing the journey unfold is a great treat to read. Filling in the gaps in White Light is a brilliant move and makes Tommy’s rise to become the White Ranger more believable than just a power upgrade Zordon had in his back pocket.

This issues is not just focused on Tommy. Jason is confronted by Zack and Trini, continuing from last issue’s cliffhanger. The trust that the team has built on for a year is now on shaky ground. With Zack and Trini questioning Jason’s motives during battle, how can they function as a cohesive group?

Necessary Evil has been a fantastic ride so far. While Shattered Grid was amazing in cameos, great villains and story, Necessary Evil feels more introspective. The team dynamic is changing and I can’t wait to read how it unfolds.”
