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..

COMIC REVIEW – Mighty Morphin Issue 17

By | |
Leave a comment

On Wednesday, March 9th, Mighty Morphin Issue 17 was released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown last week.

NEW CREATIVE TEAM. With the defeat of the Eltarian invasion, the Mighty Morphin team must band together with Matt and Grace to help rebuild the Command Center. But will old tensions arise to create new challenges for the teams? Or can they learn to finally put aside their differences?

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

“With a new creative team, the comic is being rebuilt both narratively and behind the scenes. Mighty Morphin Issue 17 brings in writer Mat Groom and artist Moisés Hidalgo. Mat Groom is a longtime fellow Power Rangers podcaster with the Ranger Danger podcast. The relationships formed on the podcast with writer Kyle Higgins and others gave Mat the chance to become an accomplished comic book writer with titles like Self-Made, Ultraman, SuperMassive, and Inferno Girl Red among others.

Obviously, Mat is a knowledgeable fan which brings in many fun references and connections to past series. For example, when Mat’s podcast reviewed Time Force, they latched onto the minor character of Bio-Lab scientist Michael Zaskin. In this issue we find out that Zaskin is working for Grace Sterling at Promethea. Along with Rocky’s ringtone being a Levi Weston (Ninja Steel) song and the introduction of King Aradon, only mentioned once before in Power Rangers Zeo, these small touches give the universe a more interconnected feel. This is like the sister title, Power Rangers, where writer Ryan Parrott weaves in elements from other series to populate the space the Omega Rangers explore. 

As mentioned by Mat in our interview with him, this issue gives Rocky a major focus. Rocky is left to defend the Power Chamber with the new Green Ranger, Matt. We get a taste of Rocky’s home life, seeing his many siblings and how he has to step up to help take care of them with his mom. The civilian side of the Rangers’ lives is one of the elements of the comics that I have really missed. This harkens back to the original Go Go Power Rangers run and is a welcome pace from yet another massive event arc. We haven’t explored enough of the Stone Canyon trio and I think this is a great place to let the story breathe as the Rangers are split up. 

On the art side, Moisés Hidalgo returns from his stint on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issues 51-55 and Yale-focused issues of Power Rangers 9-10. If readers recall, MMPR issues 51-55 dealt with Lord Zedd’s Dark Rangers. That mini-arc was beautifully illustrated and that style continues in this new arc. Moisés has a wonderful style that feels like traditional pencil line work rather than on a computer. Combined with the warm tones by colorist Raúl Angulo and the dialogue between the characters gives the story a more uplifting and hopeful mood despite the circumstances in the issue. 

Overall, Mighty Morphin issue 17 is a fresh start with a new creative team that hits the ground running from the first panel. With a new storyline, enemies and intergalactic challenges this new creative team will be one to keep an eye on, hopefully for a long time!“
