Discover the Shocking Consequences for Kimberly Hart In Her Return To Lord Drakkon’s Universe in August 2020

LOS ANGELES, CA (May 14, 2020) – BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), today announced a brand new three-issue limited series POWER RANGERS: DRAKKON NEW DAWN, from writer Anthony Burch (Big Trouble in Little China: Old Man Jack) and artist Simone Ragazzoni (Odessa). This all-new series, scheduled to arrive in stores August 2020, finds Ranger Slayer – Kimberly Hart, Drakkon’s mightiest warrior – fighting against the deadly secrets of her former master’s legacy.

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!

Anthony Burch is a comic book, video game, web series, and television writer. He is best known for his work on the Borderlands 2 video game from K2 Games and his web series Hey Ash, Watcha Playin’? Burch also co-wrote the comic book series Big Trouble in Little China: Old Man Jack with Jack Carpenter and wrote Rocko’s Modern Afterlife for BOOM! Studios.

“I’m extremely excited to spend time in the Power Rangers universe, especially in the Coinless timeline of Lord Drakkon!” said Burch. “I hope fans are excited about this slightly darker, more apocalyptic tale starring some of our favorite new characters…and maybe a few returning old ones.”

Simone Ragazzoni is an artist based in Italy. After attending the Milan Comics School, he collaborated with 7Gold TV channel and Edizioni BD, working as a freelance comic artist and illustrator. Since 2017, Ragazzoni has been a regular artist and colorist on Sergio Bonelli Editore’s sci-fi monthly series Odessa.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am for DRAKKON NEW DAWN! When I was a child, watching Power Rangers was the highlight of every Sunday morning so being the one who will bring them to life in this series is a huge honor,” said Ragazzoni. “Action, fights, monsters, heroes in costumes, and an extremely talented team: what else could I ask for?”

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 milestone anniversary year with the 27th season, “Power Rangers Beast Morphers” currently airing on Saturdays at 8 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon in the U.S.

“Kimberly must return home to face the fallout from her Ranger Slayer days but even she couldn’t have been prepared for the consequences of digging into Drakkon’s darkest secrets,” said Dafna Pleban, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. “In DRAKKON NEW DAWN, Anthony and Simone place our heroine in a situation where she’ll have to face enemies new and old, as well as a heartbreaking choice when confronted with the unthinkable!”

Print copies of POWER RANGERS: DRAKKON NEW DAWN #1 will be available on August 2020 exclusively at local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the one nearest you), or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers like comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and Madefire.

COMIC PREVIEW – MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: SHATTERED GRID SC

2 Comments

Today, August 7th, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Shattered Grid SC (Softcover) will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find preview pages of the collection as well as the main cover.

THE BIGGEST COMIC BOOK EVENT IN POWER RANGERS HISTORY COLLECTED IN ONE VOLUME!

Lord Drakkon—a twisted alternate-reality version of Tommy Oliver (AKA the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger)—and his newly reformed army are crossing dimensions in order to execute an all-out attack that threatens the very existence of every Power Ranger ever!

Collects Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25-30, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Free Comic Book Day Special, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Shattered Grid #1.

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

“What else can be said that hasn’t been already said about Shattered Grid?

For Power Rangers, it is the most ambitious story-line ever told for the franchise. The twist in Issue 25 alone was enough to drive a second printing for that issue and the next one. With cameos and team-ups spanning across the whole 25 years of Power Rangers, Shattered Grid truly felt like a celebration of the franchise.

The Soft Cover collection is nicely laid out, with a special two-page summary in the beginning. The first preview page takes art from Hendry Prasetya’s introduction of Lord Drakkon and the events of that lead to the world of the Coinless. The second preview drawn by Dan Mora, summarizes the events of Shattered Grid from Go Go Power Rangers with the Ranger Slayer.

And that is my only problem with the Softcover collection. The Go Go Power Rangers portion of Shattered Grid is not included, neither is the Shattered Grid Annual. Those will be reserved for the much larger Hardcover collection coming out in November. While I understand the logistics those additional issues would be in terms of size for a softcover, it feels like new fans will miss out on the greater context of the event.

Despite that, this collection is very nice if you want to get into the heart of the story. There’s also a 40 page cover gallery with gorgeous artwork for those that missed out on collecting those.

No matter how you read it or collect it, Shattered Grid is a must read for fans of Power Rangers both new and old.”

NEWS – BOOM! Studios Announces Power Rangers: Shattered Grid

By | |
4 Comments

BOOM! Studios, in partnership with Saban Brands, announces POWER RANGERS: SHATTERED GRID, the first comic book event in the twenty-five-year history of the global pop-culture phenomenon. In celebration of Saban’s Power Rangers’ 25th anniversary, the epic event begins on March 21, 2018 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25, by Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo, featuring events so shocking that the issue will be sealed in a black polybag to prevent spoilers!

POWER RANGERS: SHATTERED GRID will unfold in issues from both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers and include two special one-shots. Lord Drakkon—a twisted alternate-reality version of Tommy Oliver (AKA the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger)—and his newly reformed deadly army will cross dimensions in order to execute on a plan that threatens the very existence of every Power Ranger ever. For the first time in comic book history, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will join forces with some of the most popular Power Rangers teams in the franchise to face the threat.

“Call me sentimental, but I love anniversaries. Over the last two years, I’ve been weaving threads in the pages of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, all leading to the 25th anniversary of the franchise,” said Kyle Higgins. “SHATTERED GRID is a massive Power Rangers event that’s both a celebration of the property and also the largest comics story I’ve ever tackled. Lord Drakkon’s plan is so much bigger than our Rangers, our world, and even our universe. The Grid is shattering, every Power Ranger in all of existence is at risk, and it’s going to take more than just the Mighty Morphin team to stand against Drakkon’s armies.”

“The key to incorporating Go Go Power Rangers into SHATTERED GRID was making the story integral to the event while never losing the personal stakes of the series—and we are doing that in a really exciting way,” said Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers writer Ryan Parrott, whose series joins the event in April with issue #9. “A fan-favorite Ranger from the future is going to arrive, searching for Drakkon—and end up dividing our team in a very personal way. Thematically, Go Go has always been about examining the past in order to understand the future—and there’s no clearer way of doing that than smashing them into one another in real time.”

Polybagged editions of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25 will be shipped with six (6) main covers illustrated by Goñi Montes, randomly assorted in equal quantities, featuring Drakkon holding one of the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger helmets. Montes helped launch the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic series from BOOM! Studios with a series of iconic covers on issue #0. A special chase variant by Montes will also be available and mixed in randomly within the polybagged editions. This landmark issue will also feature variants (shipping without polybags) by superstar artist Humberto Ramos (Amazing Spider-Man), Jordan Gibson (Howard the Duck), and a stunning wraparound cover featuring every Power Ranger ever by Scott Koblish (Deadpool).
