Discover the Shocking Consequences for Kimberly Hart In Lord Drakkon’s Universe in September 2020

LOS ANGELES, CA (September 18, 2020) – BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc.

This exciting new series finds Ranger Slayer—Kimberly Hart, Drakkon’s mightiest warrior—fighting against the deadly secrets of her former master’s legacy.

Still reeling from the shocking discovery held deep in the heart of Drakkon’s prison tower Deadlock, Kimberly unknowingly triggers Drakkon’s final failsafe, sending a message deep into space that will ultimately put Kimberly face to face with an enemy even more powerful than Lord Drakkon himself. Will the Unknown Ranger she freed help her—or stand against her? And who exactly is hidden behind the mask?
