Dark, Cosmic Obsession at the Heart of POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: THE DEATH RANGER  #1
Discover a Shocking Secret Hidden From the Power Rangers as They CHARGE TO 100 in August 2022

LOS ANGELES, CA (August 22, 2022) – BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), a global play and entertainment company, today revealed a first look at POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: THE DEATH RANGER #1, an exciting new one-shot special issue by fan favorite writer Paul Allor (Power Rangers: The Psycho Path), with art by rising star artists Katherine Lobo (Magic) and Kekovsky “Anna” Chandra (Power Rangers Unlimited: Countdown to Ruin #1), colors by Fabi Marques (Batman: The World), Sara Antonellini (Power Rangers), and Sharon Marino (Mighty Morphin, Power Rangers), and letters by Eisner Award-nominated Ed Dukeshire, presenting a brand new story about a mysterious and deadly Ranger whose unearthly secret might spell doom for everyone in the Morphin Grid . . .

The LEGENDARY OMEGA RANGERS defended the universe from evil thousands of years ago, the six of them using their elemental powers to protect others from sinister forces. But that all changed when one key member became obsessed with death-defying powers from a terrifying source. How does this Ranger connect to what’s locked in the mysterious Omega Vault in Safehaven so many millennia later, as everything converges in the milestone comic book event CHARGE TO 100?

POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: THE DEATH RANGER #1 features main cover art by Keyla Valerio (Mighty Morphin) and variant cover art by highly acclaimed illustrators Goñi Montes (Mighty Morphin), Derrick Chew (Harley Quinn), and more.

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 over 900 episodes aired to date. Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the series launched its 29th overall season in Spring 2022, with season two of “Power Rangers Dino Fury,” which airs exclusively on Netflix in the U.S.

Print copies of POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: THE DEATH RANGER #1 will be available on August 31, 2022, exclusively at local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the one nearest you), or at the BOOM!
