On Wednesday, February 26th, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 48 will be released from Boom Studios.
After the shocking reveal of the last issue, the Rangers are beset by enemies on all sides—even their own. Tensions mount between Tommy and Jason in the fallout over the Omega Rangers secret identities. Will the two teams be able to work together in time to defend against the next attack? Don’t miss the return of a fan favorite character!
Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:
“Only a couple of months and a handful of issues remain before Necessary Evil ends. It’s no surprise by now who returns this issue, especially with the cover of this issue and the Ranger Slayer getting her own one shot in June. What is surprising is that this reveal isn’t even the biggest shock.
For readers who might have thought that Beyond the Grid was not what they wanted or liked, issue 48 starts to connect that narrative and universe with this one. There are revelations that will keep you thinking about the possibilities as you are reading.
There is a lot packed into the comic, but none of it feels bloated or pressed for space. There are two sets of character pairings that make you feel the emotional impact of tearing a team apart, and trying to live up to expectations. This is highly recommended reading, but I seem to say that for every issue. Guess I’m along for the ride!”

Earlier this month, Hasbro announced that Season 2 (No “SUPER”!) of Power Rangers Beast Morphers will premiere this Saturday, February 22nd at 8am ET/PT on Nickelodeon. The official first look trailer shows off the return of Evox and Scrozzle, new Beast-X King powers, Beast-X mode and zords!

Today, we have a look at the Season 2 Opening Theme as well as a clip from the first episode of Season 2 titled “Believe It or Not”. In this episode, the Rangers are skeptical when Steel says he’s found clues that proves Evox may have returned.
At the end of the month on Saturday, February 29th, Episode 2 “Save Our Shores”, airs. For that episode, a huge trash spill at the beach endangers the local wildlife; Scrozzle sets about finding reinforcements. What can we expect for Episode 3? Afterall, it will be the 900th episode of the franchise. Hopefully we find out more at Toy Fair New York this Saturday!
