Shocking Betrayal in MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46

It’s Ranger VS Ranger in Newest Chapter of Necessary Evil in December 2019

LOS ANGELES, CA (December 10, 2019) – BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), today revealed a new look at MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 by the all -star team of acclaimed writer Ryan Parrott (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenate Mutant Ninja Turtles), Shattered Grid artist Daniele di Nicuolo (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), colorist Walter Baiamonte (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), and letterer Ed Dukeshire (Angel), the essential next chapter in the epic POWER RANGERS event, Necessary Evil, arriving in December 2019.

The ALL NEW OMEGA RANGERS discover a shocking betrayal from one of their own! As Safe Haven turns into a RANGER VS RANGER battleground, not everyone will make it out alive.

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

“The board is set, the pieces are in position. In the latest chapter of Necessary Evil, The Anointed makes their move against the Omega Rangers. No punches are pulled, literally.

Artist Daniele di Nicuolo continues the trend of fights drawn so well, you can feel every impact. Downward force punches never get old for me, and in this issue… there’s one that will have serious consequences for the next issue.

It’s not all kicking and punching though. Writer Ryan Parrott writes a fantastic scene with Tommy and Kimberly that deals with the building tensions between the Mighty Morphin’ team. Tommy has a lot to learn about being a leader, and it’s great to see this evolution of the character.

The ending of this issue will make you rethink what you might be guessing will happen in this arc, and that’s a good thing.”

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 features a main cover by Jamal Campbell (Naomi), as well as a special foil variant of the iconic Helmet Covers featuring the Armored Red Ranger by fan favorite artist Goñi Montes (Sandman Universe), a collectible Trading Card variant cover by Kris Anka (Runaways) and designed by Dylan Todd. The MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 cover by Anka features the Red Omega Ranger, Jason Lee Scott, with an image of the Red Omega Ranger in action on the front, and stats on the back cover, including team name, alias, and biography.

The MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #46 Story variant cover depicts the next essential chapter in an eleven-part series written by writer Ryan Parrott and illustrated by acclaimed artist Dan Mora, following the enigmatic, all-knowing Emissaries as they travel space and time, unearthing never-before-seen details of the immediate aftermath of the explosive events of Shattered Grid and changing the course of MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS comic history forever.

COMIC PREVIEW – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 45

On Wednesday, November 27th, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 45 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview and review of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

NECESSARY EVIL CONTINUES! The ALL NEW OMEGA RANGERS team up with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for the first time! But as they battle evil forces on the moon, it’s Jason—now the Red Omega Ranger—who must face Lord Zedd alone! No matter who wins, nothing will ever be the same for any Power Ranger…

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

“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 45 feels like the start of the endgame for Necessary Evil. This issue eliminates one threat only to replace it with a potentially greater foe. And perhaps, that’s the whole point of the Power Rangers. There would be no need for them without the evils that are necessary for their existence.

The majority of this arc for both GGPR and MMPR gives us a deeper understanding to Jason, who increasingly realizes the weight of his leadership and consequences of his actions. Artist Daniele di Nicuolo executes that emotional weight on Jason’s face perfectly in this issue.

Without spoiling anything, there are a couple twists in this issue that surprised me, even though hints of what is to come have been shown in future solicitations. It will be very interesting to see how the events of this issue will change the landscape of the comic.”

COMIC PREVIEW – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 44

This Wednesday, October 30th, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 44 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

NECESSARY EVIL continues as the Omega Rangers return to Earth and meet the Power Rangers for the first time! But if they want to defeat Lord Zedd together, Jason, Trini and Zack will have to keep their identities a secret from their friends! Features the first appearance of the Omega Ranger Zords!

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

“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 44 kicks into high gear when the Omega Rangers come to the rescue of the Power Rangers of Earth. The tables are quickly turned on Dayne in one of the most intense Zord sequences of the comic to date.

While we don’t have a concrete end time for the conclusion of this arc, it seems we are starting to reach the climax of Necessary Evil. With the Omega Rangers meeting the Earth team for the first time, the mystery still remains on their identities. Tensions arise on both Ranger Teams that will have long lasting impacts for the rest of the arc.

The writing is, as always, tight from Ryan Parrott with more snappy dialogue and in-jokes. The art is very kinetic and detailed, as always, and we can’t get enough of Daniele Di Nicuolo’s style. Particularly in this issue, Walter Baiamonte’s colors shine… literally with brilliant lens flares on Earth to the dark and cooler tones of space and the moon.

The conclusion sets up a battle that, personally, I have been waiting for.”

COMIC PREVIEW – Go Go Power Rangers Issue 23

This Wednesday, September 11th,  Go Go Power Rangers Issue 23 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

As the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers struggle to save Angel Grove from the fearsome War Bunny without Jason, the Blue Emissary forces the Red Ranger to confront surprising villains from his Shattered Grid past and shocking Necessary Evil future—kicking off the events that will result in the creation of a brand new team with a secret mission to save the galaxy—the Omega Rangers!

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

“When the cover for this issue was first previewed a couple months back, it created quite the stir in Ranger Nation. Was Drakkon really returning? Would he suddenly become the main focus of the comic again? Thankfully, this issue puts that concern to rest.

There is no doubt that last year’s Shattered Grid event continues to impact the Power Ranger’s multiverse. What makes this issue great is the way revelations are handled for Jason, as well as the readers.

Go Go Power Rangers walks the fine line of explaining future events we see in Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers and creating a story that works as a standalone. One can easily read both series in a chronological progression, as well as reading each issue as they come out.

In this particular issue, even though we see characters introduced from the main MMPR series, there are still a few surprises that hint at the future of that comic. Teases like that can only happen if the writers have story lines planned out well in advance. Writers Ryan Parrott & Sina Grace do this in fine fashion with the last few pages of this issue.

Necessary Evil continues to deliver with intrigue, and every month I am left wanting more. Don’t miss this issue!”

COMIC PREVIEW – Go Go Power Rangers Issue 22

This Wednesday, August 14th,  Go Go Power Rangers Issue 22 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

Faced with the terrible consequences of a war they cannot remember, the Power Rangers are left to pick up the pieces of Shattered Grid, but the effect on the Morphing Grid may be more than they can handle. When put to the test, what will they choose—the world, or their team?

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

With the cliffhanger of the last issue, readers were left wondering how Go Go Power Rangers would tie into the overall arc of Necessary Evil. After last month’s release of MMPR Issue 41, we got an answer when the Blue Emissary was revealed as the Omega Rangers’ mentor.

Much like the Shattered Grid event from last year, Go Go Power Rangers serves to give context and background for the events happening in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It’s this duality that makes reading these comics a lot of fun.

Once again writers Ryan Parrott & Sina Grace deliver snappy dialogue and emotional weight after the events of Tommy losing his Green Ranger powers. A line about an enemy mentioned in MMPR 41 becomes the main villain for this issue of Go Go. The return of another character makes things even more interesting for one of our heroes.

Go Go Power Rangers isn’t simply a companion comic, it’s essential reading.

Leave a comment

It’s Time for a Gold Rush! Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid v1.3 has been released! The most exciting part is the announcement of the Season 1 Season Pass characters, as well as the anticipated CROSS-PLAY and CROSS-PROGRESSION for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch!

Get the full details below as well as new screenshots and video courtesy of nWay Games!

Battle for the Grid v1.3 roster

San Francisco – July 10, 2019 – Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid v1.3 Update

We will be releasing our first two Season One characters: Trey of Triforia and Jen Scotts, which will be followed by Lord Zedd in a future update. Players can purchase each individual character digitally for $6.99 or the full Season One Pass for $14.99, which includes all three characters along with a bonus character skin.

Trey of Triforia: The original Gold Zeo Ranger, Trey was an alien from the planet Triforia who came to Earth to help the Zeo Rangers battle the Machine Empire. There, he was attacked and split into three separate beings, forcing him to temporarily transfer his Gold Ranger powers to veteran ex-Ranger Jason Lee Scott.

Jen Scotts: Jen Scotts assumed the role of leader of the Time Force when her fiancé, the Red Time Force Ranger, was killed by an escaping criminal named Ransik. Fearless, determined and compassionate, Jen and her team did everything they could to track down Ransik and bring him to justice.

Lord Zedd (Coming Soon): The self-proclaimed “Emperor of Evil,” Lord Zedd has conquered and enslaved much of the galaxy. Initially leaving the “insignificant” Earth for Rita Repulsa to conquer, he returns to punish her for her failure and finish what she started.

Jason Lee Scott – Red Dragon Shield (skin): After Tommy Oliver, the Green Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, was killed by Lord Drakkon, an evil version of Tommy from an alternate dimension, Jason inherited the Dragon Shield and Dragon Dagger. With their added strength and the ability to summon the Dragonzord, Jason was able to lead the other Rangers in the fight against Lord Drakkon.

Also available will be the second free update (v1.3) that introduces several previously unreleased features.

  • The v1.3 update vastly improves the game’s social play and matchmaking, including Direct Match, which lets friends or any two specific players match up against each other.
  • The game now also enables crossplay between Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, where players across the two gaming platforms can battle against each other in Ranked, Casual, or Direct Matches.
  • Crossplay helps players find matches faster against similarly skilled players and opens up a larger matchmaking pool, making the game more competitive.
  • Crossplay is enabled by nWayPlay, nWay’s recently announced game development platform, which offers a player ID and social system, allowing friends to find each other across platforms.
  • nWayPlay also enables cross-progression between Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, so players can carry progress made on one platform to another.

Both the Season One Pass and the free update are available for digital download via the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop and Microsoft Store. More information is at https://battleforthegrid.com/.
