BOOM! Studios Invites You To Join the RANGER ACADEMY! Enroll Today

Attend the Amazing School Where Rangers Are Trained and Honed in October 2023

LOS ANGELES, CA (July 18, 2023) – If you had a chance to join the Power Rangers, would you?

This is the question at the very heart of a brand new ongoing series from BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc., writer Maria Ingrande Mora (The Immeasurable Depth of You), artist Jo Mi-Gyeong (Eve: Children of the Moon), and colorist Fabiana Mascolo (Alice Ever After) as they chart a bold new expansion of the Power Rangers Universe!

13-year-old Sage lives on an isolated lunar colony with her adoptive father, but her days on the farm will change forever when she comes across a wreckage with wounded passengers, people from an academy training to be something called… POWER RANGERS. For the first time, discover the amazing school where Rangers are made!

 

Maria Ingrande Mora (they/she) is a content designer and Florida native. Their queer YA debut, Fragile Remedy, was selected as Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection. Their contemporary debut, The Immeasurable Depth of You, received starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal and Booklist. Find them on Instagram at @mariamorawrites.

“It’s such an honor to introduce Sage and her friends to a new generation of Power Rangers fans,” said writer Maria Ingrande Mora. “Jo is a dream to collaborate with, and her love for these characters is clear in every panel and expression. Welcome to Ranger Academy!”

Jo Mi-Gyeong is a comic artist living in Seoul, South Korea. She’s an artist on the EVE series for BOOM! Studios. She’s also participated in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance comics for BOOM! Studios, Beastlands for Dark Horse Comics, and the storyboards of STAR-CROSSED comics for Riot Games.

“Creating the details of this new world for Ranger Academy was a lot of fun for me. If there was anything more enjoyable than that, it would have been to portray the characters’ rich sensibilities and expressions of emotions,” said artist Jo Mi-Gyeong. “I hope everyone will love them just as I fell in love with them.”

RANGER ACADEMY #1 features a main cover by Miguel Mercado (Magic) with variants by Jo Mi-Gyeong and Ejikure (Mighty Morphin Power Ranger/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II).
