Mighty Morphin Issue 18 Kicks Off BOOM! Studios “Charge to 100” Event

 

Briefly teased by BOOM! Studios President of Publishing & Marketing Filip Sablik during their 2022 ComicsPRO Presentation, Mighty Morphin Issue 18 kicks off the “Charge to 100” event. Celebrating 100 issues of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comics, this milestone event will take place April to September 2022, culminating in a special 100th issue for Mighty Morphin Issue 23. Since the split into two separate titles, Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers have continued the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers numbering with their Legacy Variants.

This new event will include special one shots, like “Countdown to Ruin” coming in June. The Power Rangers and Omega Rangers join forces with some familiar galactic faces to battle a terrifying new cosmic threat that’s rising from the depths to threaten every living thing in existence…

“It’s absolutely incredible to think that we’ll reach 100 issues of our phenomenal Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comics this September. When we first launched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1 in 2016, we knew we had something special in the works so it’s truly an honor to celebrate this milestone with all the fans who have supported our stories for the past six years,” said Dafna Pleban, Editor, BOOM! Studios. “This milestone event will lead up to one of the most explosive issues of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with even more twists, special appearances, and heartfelt moments than ever before so hold onto your seats as we CHARGE TO 100!”

On Wednesday, April 13th, Mighty Morphin Issue 18 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown last month.

THE CHARGE TO 100 BEGINS! With the combined efforts of Promethea and the Zords protecting the Power Chamber, Rocky, the Red Ranger, and Matt, the Green Ranger, wait in tense anticipation for the return of the Away Team. Emotions run high as Zordon acknowledges a hidden history involving him and Promethea, and how much the War has affected him, while Rocky is torn on different responsibilities that might be irreconcilable without help..
