LOS ANGELES, CA (August 21, 2020) – BOOM! Studios announced today that POWER RANGERS: DRAKKON NEW DAWN #1, the first issue of a brand new three-issue limited series about the Ranger Slayer – Kimberly Hart, Drakkon’s mightiest warrior—fighting against the deadly secrets of her former master’s legacy, from writer Anthony Burch (Big Trouble in Little China: Old Man Jack), artist Simone Ragazzoni (Odessa), colorist Raúl Angulo and letterer Ed Dukeshire, has sold out at the distributor level just one day after its release!

In response to the overwhelming support from retailers and fans, BOOM! Studios has announced POWER RANGERS: DRAKKON NEW DAWN #1 SECOND PRINTING, available on September 16, 2020 and featuring brand new cover art by Mora.

After the shocking events of Power Rangers: Ranger Slayer #1, Kimberly is determined to purge the terrifying hold that Drakkon has had over her world, starting with Deadlock; the prison tower where Drakkon held all those who opposed him. But even the Ranger Slayer has no clue of the true power kept in Deadlock—and what unlocking the doors will set into motion. As Kimberly investigates the worst of Drakkon’s secrets, she sets in motion Drakkon’s final plan—one that will pit her against a fan-favorite Power Rangers villain like you’ve never seen them before!

“DRAKKON NEW DAWN kicks off an exciting new event for fans of the Ranger Slayer, beginning with the introduction of the mysterious Unknown Ranger and a brand new villain that will shock long time fans,” said Filip Sablik, President, Publishing & Sales, BOOM! Studios. “In order to make sure fan everywhere can jump onboard this landmark Power Rangers series, the DRAKKON NEW DAWN #1 SECOND PRINTING cover spotlights Dan Mora’s beautiful new redesign of the Ranger Slayer.”

Currently, Power Rangers is celebrating 27 continuous years on the air, making it one of the longest running kids’ live-action series in television history with nearly 900 episodes aired to date. Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the franchise celebrates its 27th season, “Power Rangers Beast Morphers” currently airing on Saturdays at 8 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon in the U.S.
