Meet the DEATH RANGER in a Brand New POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED Special this August 
Discover a Shocking Secret Hidden From the Power Rangers as They CHARGE TO 100 in August 2022 

LOS ANGELES, CA (May 20, 2022) – BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), announced today POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: THE DEATH RANGER #1, an exciting new one-shot special issue by fan favorite writer Paul Allor (Power Rangers: The Psycho Path), and rising star artist Katherine Lobo, presenting a brand new story about a mysterious and deadly Ranger whose unearthly secret might spell doom for everyone in the Morphin Grid…

The LEGENDARY OMEGA RANGERS defended the universe from evil thousands of years ago, the six of them using their elemental powers to protect others from sinister forces. But that all changed when one key member became seduced by the death-defying powers of the Rangers’ greatest foe. How does this Ranger connect to what’s locked in the mysterious Omega Vault in Safehaven so many millennia later, as everything converges in the milestone comic book event CHARGE TO 100?

POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: THE DEATH RANGER #1 features main cover art by Keyla Valerio (Mighty Morphin) and variant cover art by highly acclaimed illustrators Goñi Montes (Mighty Morphin), Derrick Chew (Harley Quinn), and more.

Unruly Industries Power Rangers Scoops – Designer Collectible Busts

When you need to chill out with your friends after saving the world, reach for a One-Scoops! This Mighty meltin’ Power Rangers — Designer Collectible Bust Sets by artist Erik Scoggan tastes like sweet, sweet victory.

Artist Bio: Erik Scoggan is a graphic artist from Southern California who was raised on superhero cartoons, junk food, and ‘The Far Side’ comics. Utilizing pop art and surrealist influences, the tone of his work gravitates towards the off-centered and humorous.

Artist Statement: “In a continuation of the One-Scoops series, I wanted to bring a surrealist element to the iconic Power Rangers characters in ice cream form. When I was growing up, I always thought they had the coolest helmet designs, and it’s fun to imagine what they would look like if they were melting out in the sun on a hot, Angel Grove, day. I’d like to think they’d sell these at that ‘Gym and Juice Bar’ those teenagers always seem to be hanging out in every episode.”

Each set retails for $250 USD. More details for the busts are available at Sideshow’s website:
