Mighty Morphin Issue 18 Kicks Off BOOM! Studios “Charge to 100” Event

 

Briefly teased by BOOM! Studios President of Publishing & Marketing Filip Sablik during their 2022 ComicsPRO Presentation, Mighty Morphin Issue 18 kicks off the “Charge to 100” event. Celebrating 100 issues of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comics, this milestone event will take place April to September 2022, culminating in a special 100th issue for Mighty Morphin Issue 23. Since the split into two separate titles, Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers have continued the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers numbering with their Legacy Variants.

This new event will include special one shots, like “Countdown to Ruin” coming in June. The Power Rangers and Omega Rangers join forces with some familiar galactic faces to battle a terrifying new cosmic threat that’s rising from the depths to threaten every living thing in existence…

“It’s absolutely incredible to think that we’ll reach 100 issues of our phenomenal Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comics this September. When we first launched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1 in 2016, we knew we had something special in the works so it’s truly an honor to celebrate this milestone with all the fans who have supported our stories for the past six years,” said Dafna Pleban, Editor, BOOM! Studios. “This milestone event will lead up to one of the most explosive issues of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with even more twists, special appearances, and heartfelt moments than ever before so hold onto your seats as we CHARGE TO 100!”

On Wednesday, April 13th, Mighty Morphin Issue 18 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown last month.

THE CHARGE TO 100 BEGINS! With the combined efforts of Promethea and the Zords protecting the Power Chamber, Rocky, the Red Ranger, and Matt, the Green Ranger, wait in tense anticipation for the return of the Away Team. Emotions run high as Zordon acknowledges a hidden history involving him and Promethea, and how much the War has affected him, while Rocky is torn on different responsibilities that might be irreconcilable without help..

COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 17

By | |
Leave a comment

This past Wednesday, March 16th, Power Rangers Issue 17 was released from Boom Studios. We had a first look of the issue last week.

With the threat of the Empyreals gone and Earth saved, the Omega Rangers must forge a new path for themselves! But with the Blue Emissary gone and Xi still out of commission, can the Rangers survive the dangers of the universe that they’re trying to protect?  

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

“The aftermath of the Eltarian War continues with the second mainline comic this month with Power Rangers Issue 17. For this issue, the focus is on each of the Omega Rangers – Jason is on the hunt for Drakkon, Trini is focusing on repairing Xi and Zack helps catch a thief on Safehaven. 

Jason is still on the search for galactic threats and signs of the Spectrum II and Drakkon. Eventually he is interrupted by Yale chasing a jellyfly, one of the many native species of Safehaven, and comes to a realization. Trini gets some help from Billy via intergalactic communication as she attempts to repair Xi. It’s nice to have some crossover with the acknowledgement that the Mighty Morphin team is looking for a new Command Center, seen last issue. Xi is successfully repaired, but he has a change in personality. He is restricting access to his previous memories, cutting off the trauma of being destroyed and the events of Unlimited Power. Zack helps Arkon with a mystery of stolen items across Safehaven, the latest being a Morphin Master spear. This is a great connection to the currently running Power Rangers Unlimited as the staff has a unique Dairanger/Squadron design. The thief is a young Hartunian named Kevor Vrin whose parents were King’s guards and killed when the Empyreals destroyed their planet. Arkon spares his life after a fight, the tension still lingering between their two species. 

All of these individual stories come to a head with the Omega Rangers coming to the same conclusion – they need to do more and focus on the larger picture. They send out a galaxy wide communication with several shots on alien species and individuals (Andros!). And we are teased with the message reaching the Followers of Vox. Yup! Vox, as in Garrison Vox from Necessary Evil. How’s that for full circle?

Writer Ryan Parrott continues the Omega Ranger saga without a universe-ending storyline, beginning a new chapter for the Omega Rangers that feels more personal. I am glad that Xi is back, but also not himself. As an advanced robot, his continuing storyline with his memories and choosing to access them or not harkens back to classic science fiction. Are we the same without our memories? It’s another plot that I can’t wait to see the implications of going forward. Artist Marco Renna switches to Power Rangers after his stint on Mighty Morphin and it’s wonderful to see his art continue to be paired with Ryan’s writing. I’ve said so many great things about Marco in past reviews that I would just be repeating myself. 

Power Rangers Issue 17 is the next evolution for the Omega Rangers. They have a lot of work to do to live up to the message they sent galaxy-wide. With no ship and the Omega Zords still damaged, it’s only a matter of time before trouble comes knocking on Safehaven’s door. We can only hope they are prepared…”

NEWS – Reebok Launches Second Power Rangers Collection Featuring the Series’ Most Notorious Villains

Reebok Launches Second Power Rangers Collection Featuring the Series’ Most Notorious Villains

(BOSTON) March 15, 2022 – Today Reebok, in partnership with Hasbro, debuts a second Reebok x Power Rangers collection. The line follows the original Reebok x Power Rangers drop, which launched in June 2021, that was inspired by the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television series of the 90s.

We highlighted some of the most popular Mighty Morphin characters in the original Power Rangers show with the first collection. This new capsule collection shines a light on some of the most formidable villains featured throughout the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers show. Drawing inspiration from characters including Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd and Rito Revolto, this line brings to life some of the Power Rangers most worthy adversaries.

Footwear featured in the second Reebok x Power Rangers line include:

  • Instapump Fury Rita Repulsa ($200 | GW0782) – This Instapump Fury features all of Rita Repulsa’s signature markings from the icon on the pump ball which represents Rita’s staff, to the bands on the tongue, which resemble Rita’s headband. Rita’s influence even seeps into the materials with pony hair featured on the heel cup to emulate Rita’s headware.
  • Hurrikaze II Low Rito Revolto ($140 | GY5928) – The upper of this Kamikaze II Low makes the shoe instantly recognizable as Rito Revolto as the neutral upper represents Rito’s bones and the camo application on the medial side suede resembles Rito’s outfit. Other warnings that this shoe is for villains only is that the sneaker’s tongue includes the Evil Space Alien callout on the right side and the “Danger Ranger” skull and crossbones on the left side.
  • Answer IV Lord Zedd ($170 | GZ6897) – Lord Zedd takes over this Answer IV with a red, rippled upper that resembles Lord Zedd’s body, silver overlays that nod to Lord Zedd’s armor and a blue tube along the lateral side which mimics Lord Zedd’s tubes. The villain even shows up on the outsole where Iverson’s face would typically be on this classic basketball silhouette.

Beyond the details above, each footwear silhouette contains a sockliner that marks signature moments or features of each character the shoe is inspired by. For example, the Answer IV Lord Zedd sockliner incorporates images of the ingredients in Rita Repulsa’s love potion that she used on Lord Zedd. Each shoe also comes in specialized packaging unique to its character, from the Instapump Fury Rita Repulsa’s “Rita’s Moon Dumpster” box to Lord Zedd’s box inspired by the Angel Grove Community Center.

Completing the collection are five pieces of apparel, including one hoodie, one long sleeve tee and three t-shirts. The hoodie is inspired by the Megazord’s transformation and incorporates a hand-drawn Megazord emblem in the center graphic on the back of the piece. The long sleeve tee embodies the Green Ranger and features several details representative of the character, from his alias, Thomas “Tommy” Oliver, to his “Dragon Dagger.” Finally, the three t-shirts are all in the style of retro arcade graphics and showcase both the heroes and villains of the Power Rangers franchise.

This Reebok x Power Rangers collection will be available in unisex sizing at Reebok.com/power_rangers beginning March 25th.

Currently, Power Rangers is celebrating 29 continuous years on the air, making it one of the longest-running kids live-action series in television history, with more than 900 episodes aired to date. Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the series celebrates its 29th overall season with a new season of “Power Rangers Dino Fury,” airing now exclusively on Netflix in the U.S.
