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.

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.

COMIC PREVIEW – Go Go Power Rangers 26

Leave a comment

Last week we gave you a first look at Go Go Power Rangers Issue 26. Below is the full preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.  Go Go Power Rangers Issue 26 will be released from Boom Studios next Wednesday, December 11th.

As Jason begins to form his new team—the Omega Rangers—he struggles to keep the truth from his friends, Trini and Zack. Meanwhile, on another planet, Tommy has reached the Tower of Light but is he truly worthy of becoming the White Ranger?!

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

“Go Go Power Rangers has always been a comic about exploring the backstories of the characters and adding depth and context to events we think we might know from watching the show. This issue continues that trend in great spectacle and lore building.

As seen in the preview, we have a flashback from when Tommy was under Rita’s spell during Green With Evil. This event becomes a focal point for later in the issue, where Tommy’s motivations and character is being questioned.

Bouncing between GGPR and MMPR throughout Necessary Evil makes for interesting reading. We know that Tommy will become the White Ranger, but seeing the journey unfold is a great treat to read. Filling in the gaps in White Light is a brilliant move and makes Tommy’s rise to become the White Ranger more believable than just a power upgrade Zordon had in his back pocket.

This issues is not just focused on Tommy. Jason is confronted by Zack and Trini, continuing from last issue’s cliffhanger. The trust that the team has built on for a year is now on shaky ground. With Zack and Trini questioning Jason’s motives during battle, how can they function as a cohesive group?

Necessary Evil has been a fantastic ride so far. While Shattered Grid was amazing in cameos, great villains and story, Necessary Evil feels more introspective. The team dynamic is changing and I can’t wait to read how it unfolds.”

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.”

Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 13th, Go Go Power Rangers Issue 25 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 Secret Origin of the OMEGA RANGERS continues as Jason and the Blue Emissary search for new recruits to the ALL NEW POWER RANGER TEAM. But when Zordon and Alpha-5 go missing, Jason must choose what’s more important – his friends or protecting the universe from the fallout of SHATTERED GRID!

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

“Go Go Power Rangers issue 25 starts off with Tommy Oliver after losing his Green Ranger powers. Earlier in this arc, he left the team to focus on being alone and trying to find his place. This event also happened in the show, and this issue specifically slots perfectly into the events leading up to and during ‘White Light’.

What’s great about this issue, and the Necessary Evil arc as a whole, is giving more context and background to what we have seen in the show. While the Boom! Studios comics are their own universe where events in the show still play out in a modern setting, it’s fun to imagine the events of the comic happening to the cast of the show. Want to know why Zordon and Alpha-5 initially disappeared during the events of  ‘White Light’? It’s explained with more detail in this issue.

I also enjoyed the small return of a familiar character that played an important role in Shattered Grid and less so in Beyond The Grid. It’s clear the writers are taking the opportunity to not only expand the lore of the show, but the comics as well. While readers can probably guess where the story is going because of ‘Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers’, I am sure there are surprises that will make us wonder what’s in store next for Necessary Evil.”

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.”

This Wednesday, August 28th (National Power Ranger Day), Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 42 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 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers have returned—just in time to discover a secret that may tear apart the team!

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

“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 42 is definitely a fitting tribute to release on National Power Rangers Day. Without spoiling anything, there are some unexpected, but welcome cameos.

Plot lines from Go Go Powers Rangers are referenced naturally and are a big payoff if you have read every issue to date. There is a good balance here between all of the characters. While some have taken issue with the focus of the Omega Rangers from issue 41, every character has their moment to shine while advancing the story.

The time with the Omega Rangers is well spent. We get more backstory with Omega Blue Ranger Kiya and an undercover mission that feels like something from an alien version of a James Bond movie.

The last part of the issue sets up something that most readers have been waiting for. Highly recommended!”

COMIC PREVIEW – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 41

This Wednesday, July 24th, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 41 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

The all new covert team of Power Rangers has been revealed – and it’s Jason, Zack, Trini, and a BRAND NEW RANGER joining them to form the OMEGA RANGERS! But who is this all-new Power Ranger? Where did they come from? And why are the Omega Rangers hiding their existence from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?

As the secrets behind their mission – as well as their deception of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers – are revealed, a deadly new threat, summoned from the depths of space by Lord Zedd, arrives on Earth with only one mission…take out the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, once and for all!

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

After last month’s “to be continued” page reveal, I was wondering if we would get answers to this new team of Omega Rangers. Well, I am wondering no more since Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 41 completely focuses on Jason, Trini and Zack as the Omega Rangers!

At San Diego Comic Con, Boom! Studios displayed three Omega Ranger helmets ahead of this issue’s release. To see them in this issue of the comic together with the suit is really impressive. That also describes this whole issue.

We’re quickly thrown into the new universe that Jason, Trini and Zack find themselves in. New alien locations are shown, new side characters are introduced. It feels natural and a bit chaotic, but in a good way, as writer Ryan Parrott leaves us with even more questions. After reading the issue, I want to find out even more.

There are definitely a couple surprises that readers will not want to miss. I was wondering how Necessary Evil would tie into both series of the Power Ranger’s comics. Go Go Power Ranger’s Issue 21’s ending definitely informed what was going on in this issue. I like that both series play off of each other much like last year’s Shattered Grid event.

With Ryan Parrott writing for both series, the level of cohesion in the story really works for me. In addition to the Dan Mora story covers, it feels like all of pieces of the puzzle will come together by the end of this arc. I think this will keep readers guessing and wanting more.

The art from Daniele Di Nicuolo continues to impress. During Shattered Grid, he quickly became my favorite artist in the entire comic series. I was elated that he came back for Necessary Evil. For this issue in particular, the fights and morphs are filled with kinetic energy and the detail is very well done.

Colorists Walter Baiamonte and Katia Ranalli make this new alien universe vibrant and colorful, bringing to life Daniele’s fantastic artwork.

With Danye from the previous issue and the new worlds and aliens in this story, the universe of the Power Rangers continues to expand. One of the things I liked about the “Zordon Era” of the tv series was the universe building they managed to achieve. This issue expands that concept to another level and makes it a must read.
