On March 11th, Boom Studios releases Go Go Power Rangers Issue 30.
LORD ZEDD sets his eyes on something he is sure will defeat the Power Rangers, and unleashes his full force to obtain in. With Jason, Trini and Zack encountering a new threat of their own as OMEGA RANGERS, Tommy must lead Kimberly and Billy into battle at half-power with disastrous consequences.
Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:
“It will be bittersweet when Go Go Power Rangers comes to a conclusion. For a standard sized comic, it feels like there is a lot of story packed into this issue. While Jason, Zack and Trini meet Kiya for the first time; Tommy, Kim and Billy are left to defend Promethea against Lord Zedd’s newest plan. The team is splintered and Kim’s concerns are valid.
What’s great about issue thirty is how much ties back to objects and stories seen throughout the entire run of the comics. This is very rewarding for longtime readers and it gives the story a really strong footing. I also enjoy seeing some Easter eggs from time to time. Look closely in this issue and you’ll see the crew from the anime series Cowboy Bebop.
Without giving anything away I will say that the ending to this issue surprised me to the point where I will have to rethink who or what will come back in the final pages of Necessary Evil.”

Future of the Time Force Revealed in New Original Graphic Novel POWER RANGERS: SINS OF THE FUTURE
Discover a Love That Crosses All of Time and Space in a New Power Rangers Graphic Novel in October 2020
LOS ANGELES, CA (February 27, 2020) – BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), today announced an original graphic novel POWER RANGERS: SINS OF THE FUTURE, with story by Trey Moore (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), written by Matthew Erman (Bonding), illustrated by Giuseppe Cafaro (Saban’s Power Rangers: Soul of The Dragon), and lettered by Ed Dukeshire. This all-new graphic novel, available in October 2020, features two of the most popular Rangers of all time and what happens to them after the events of the hit Power Rangers: Time Force television series!
After defeating the villainous Ransik alongside their allies in the time-traveling Time Force, Pink Ranger Jen Scotts and Red Ranger Wes Collins want to try for a real relationship. But without sacrificing their commitments to the Silver Guardians and Time Force, can the two actually make the ultimate long-distance relationship work?
When Jen returns from the future, she and Wes are attacked by a mysterious stranger who has dire news – if these two stay together, they’ll disrupt the timeline and change the destiny of humanity! The shocking identity of their accuser sets them on a collision course with an enemy they never expected.
Matthew Erman is a comics writer from Columbus, Ohio. Alongside Lisa Sterle, he co-created the critically acclaimed comic horror series, Long Lost, which was optioned for Film/TV by Producer Jenny Klein (The Witcher, Daisy Jones and The Six). Since then, he’s worked with IDW on a new Care Bears: Unlock the Magic series as well as Vault Comics on his upcoming original graphic novel Bonding, with artist and co-creator Emily Pearson. His short work can be found in anthologies such as Corpus (2018), Dead Beats (2019), and Everything is Going Wrong (2019).
“I was once six years old eating malted milk-balls in my pj’s, glued to the television, exclusively watching Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. 25 years later, I’m actually writing Power Rangers, and it is bonkers: a literal dream come true. POWER RANGERS: SINS OF THE FUTURE is the story that my six year old self would have wanted to write,” said writer Matthew Erman. “Jen Scotts of Power Rangers Time Force takes center stage in this story, and she’s such a deep, interesting character with so much to pull from that writing her and other characters from Time Force has been a real gift. It’s been so wild to play in this sandbox and easy to see why it’s regarded by fans as some of the best the franchise has to offer. I can’t wait for everyone to read this!”
Giuseppe Cafaro is an Italian comic book artist who has worked in the industry since 2010 to great acclaim. Cafaro has been the artist for titles such as Catwoman, Suicide Squad, and Superman/Wonder Woman for DC Comics, Fathom and Soulfire for Aspen Comics, and Power Rangers: The Psycho Path, Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon and Firefly: Bad Company for BOOM! Studios.
“I’m extremely honored to be the artist for a new Power Rangers graphic novel,” said artist Giuseppe Cafaro. “BOOM! Studios is doing a huge and amazing job on every single book of the Power Rangers and I’m sure SINS OF THE FUTURE will be even more fun and intense than ever before!”
Currently, Power Rangers is celebrating 26 continuous years on the air, making it one of the longest running kids’ live-action series in television history with nearly 900 episodes aired to date. Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the franchise celebrates its milestone anniversary year with the 26th season, “Power Rangers Beast Morphers” currently airing on Saturdays at 8 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon in the U.S.
“POWER RANGERS: SINS OF THE FUTURE reunites two fan favorites in a love that crosses all of time and space while threatening the very fabric of the universe. For the first time ever, fans will find out what happened to Jen and Wes in this new original graphic novel” said Dafna Pleban, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. “And just when you think the Rangers will find their happily ever after, a new threat arises that could end not only their romance but also their realities. It doesn’t get more epic than this!”
Print copies of POWER RANGERS: SINS OF THE FUTURE will be available in October 2020 at local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the nearest one), or at the BOOM! Studios webstore.

Revealed at Hasbro’s Brand Preview Event during Toy Fair New York 2020, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger the 43rd Super Sentai Series will be the 28th Season of Power Rangers!
Hasbro will be at San Diego Comic Con and Power Morphicon 2020, we can expect more information soon about the new series!
On Wednesday, February 26th, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 48 will be released from Boom Studios.
After the shocking reveal of the last issue, the Rangers are beset by enemies on all sides—even their own. Tensions mount between Tommy and Jason in the fallout over the Omega Rangers secret identities. Will the two teams be able to work together in time to defend against the next attack? Don’t miss the return of a fan favorite character!
Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:
“Only a couple of months and a handful of issues remain before Necessary Evil ends. It’s no surprise by now who returns this issue, especially with the cover of this issue and the Ranger Slayer getting her own one shot in June. What is surprising is that this reveal isn’t even the biggest shock.
For readers who might have thought that Beyond the Grid was not what they wanted or liked, issue 48 starts to connect that narrative and universe with this one. There are revelations that will keep you thinking about the possibilities as you are reading.
There is a lot packed into the comic, but none of it feels bloated or pressed for space. There are two sets of character pairings that make you feel the emotional impact of tearing a team apart, and trying to live up to expectations. This is highly recommended reading, but I seem to say that for every issue. Guess I’m along for the ride!”

Today we received the advanced solicitations for Boom! Studios Power Rangers comics coming out in the month of May 2020.
There are slight spoilers below, so be warned!
Earlier this month, Hasbro announced that Season 2 (No “SUPER”!) of Power Rangers Beast Morphers will premiere this Saturday, February 22nd at 8am ET/PT on Nickelodeon. The official first look trailer shows off the return of Evox and Scrozzle, new Beast-X King powers, Beast-X mode and zords!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFnPER0Su4k
Today, we have a look at the Season 2 Opening Theme as well as a clip from the first episode of Season 2 titled “Believe It or Not”. In this episode, the Rangers are skeptical when Steel says he’s found clues that proves Evox may have returned.
At the end of the month on Saturday, February 29th, Episode 2 “Save Our Shores”, airs. For that episode, a huge trash spill at the beach endangers the local wildlife; Scrozzle sets about finding reinforcements. What can we expect for Episode 3? Afterall, it will be the 900th episode of the franchise. Hopefully we find out more at Toy Fair New York this Saturday!
With love in the air, Hasbro just revealed a special Power Rangers Lightning Collection set in honor of the most Morphinomenal wedding of the century. It’s been nearly 25 years to the day that Rita and Zedd tied the knot in “The Wedding, Part 3,” which aired as part of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers’ second season on February 15, 1995—and to celebrate, Hasbro has released the Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa 25th Wedding Anniversary deluxe set – 6-inch action figures.

To unite their evil families and celebrate their… love?… LORD ZEDD and RITA REPULSA tie the knot in a monstrous ceremony attended by only the worst guests possible: their minions. Celebrating 25 years of the best worst couple in POWER RANGERS, the figures in this LORD ZEDD AND RITA REPULSA 25th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY 2-PACK feature special silver-themed deco on Rita’s dress and Lord Zedd’s chest plate.
