(NASDAQ: HAS), today announced that acclaimed writer Nicole Andelfinger is the writer for the limited event series, POWER RANGERS UNIVERSE, with artist Simone Ragazzoni, that will delve into the deepest origins of the Power Rangers, exploring the hidden secrets of the universe like never before!

What is the true origin of the Phantom Ranger? And what is his connection to the Morphin Grid?

“My twelve year old self—and current self—are screaming! When the Power Rangers team comes knocking at your door, of course you say yes,” said Andelfinger. “I’m so honored and excited to be a part of POWER RANGERS UNIVERSE and can’t wait to help expand the universe just a bit more for fans new and old to enjoy.”
