COMIC PREVIEW – MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: SHATTERED GRID SC

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

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).
