Godzilla and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Meet for the First Time in Crossover Comic Series from IDW
Titans of Film and Television Smash Cities and Join Forces In The Five-Issue Miniseries Event of 2022
SAN DIEGO, CA (December 16, 2021) – IDW, under license by Toho International, Inc., and in partnership with BOOM! Studios and Hasbro, announces today an all-new five-issue comic book event, Godzilla Vs. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, bringing together two titanic franchises for the first time!
Launching in March 2022, this monthly miniseries will be a collaboration between two of the comic industry’s most exciting talents, writer Cullen Bunn (Deadpool, Green Lantern, Godzilla: Cataclysm) and artist Freddie Williams II (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-Man/ThunderCats).
When Rita Repulsa uses an ancient artifact to transport herself to a universe without Power Rangers, she finds herself in a world with aliens, kaiju, and… Godzilla! Hoping to annihilate this new foe, Rita hurls her own terrible creatures into battle. But she never expects that the Rangers have followed her to this alternate reality, pitting the Dinozords themselves head-to-head with the King of the Monsters!
“I am honored to bring two iconic franchises like Godzilla and the Power Rangers together. I’ve been a massive Godzilla fan since before I could read, and my love for the King of Monsters has never faded in all those years. Likewise, I’ve always loved Tokusatsu superheroics, and vividly remember watching the first episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers when it came out. This is a crossover that I suspect will take readers by surprise—but it makes complete sense!” says Bunn. “Writing for these characters is a dream come true for this giant monster-loving kid-at-heart, and when readers pick up this book, I want them to feel that sense of awe and wonder that these characters have inspired for decades!”
“This will be the biggest, most stratospheric crossover I’ve ever drawn!” says Williams. “It’s the combination of so many big genres: Giant Monsters vs. Mechs, martial arts vs. science and magic, with lots of collateral destruction! I’ve been watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episodes and Godzilla films to submerge my brain space, and have been reminded how fantastic and charming these designs are and how much fun prior creators had with their designs. I’m excited to contribute to the long legacies of these franchises!”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled about this latest crossover event at IDW Publishing,” says editor Tom Waltz. “Not just because a story featuring both Godzilla and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers checks off every awesome box on a comic-book crossover list, but also because we’ve got two of the best in the business — Cullen Bunn and Freddie Williams II — combining to bring it into being.”
“When BOOM! Studios first stepped into the world of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, we had some big plans and huge dreams, so it’s amazing to be able to bring to life the biggest and most exciting monster mash-up of the century,” says Dafna Pleban, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. “It’s been an incredible process to put together this epic series with our friends at IDW, Toho, and Hasbro. We can’t wait to show fans everything they could ever hope to see and more from the King of the Monsters and the Power Rangers universe.”
Godzilla Vs. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1 will be available with multiple cover variants for retailers and fans to enjoy, including Cover A by series artist Freddie Williams II, Cover B by E.J. Su (Transformers), and a special connecting Retailer Incentive edition by Williams II which combines with the RI covers for issues #2-5 to make a glorious panorama of kaiju and Zord conflict!

The Omega Rangers, including their unexpected savior the NEW Blue Omega Ranger, race against time to beat the impending Empyreal threat to Earth. But can they deliver the critical secret they’ve uncovered to Zordon before it’s too late? Or will the Empyreals destroy the Omega Rangers, their allies, and everything they hold dear?
Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:
“The Eltarian War kicked off last week in Mighty Morphin Issue 13, but in this issue of Power Rangers the stakes haven’t been as high since Shattered Grid. Yes, you heard right. The last half of this issue will leave Power Rangers fan wondering how the Mighty Morphin and Omega Ranger teams will recover.
From the preview pages below, you can see Jason, Trini and Zack are back on Safehaven thanks to Yale and the Master Arch. Arkon is back and can completely understand Yale, a source of much amusement as the only thing Yale can say is ‘Meow’. This won’t be the last joke about Yale being a cat ranger in this story, as writer Ryan Parrott blends humor and quick quips with the heaviness of the events towards the end. The rest of the issue sees the continuation from last week, a return to both series directly playing off of each other.
This sees the return of artist Francesco Mortarino drawing the Mighty Morphin team, much like his run in Go Go Power Rangers part of Necessary Evil. It’s a nice visual continuity, but with Francesco’s evolved art since that time period. And the art is stunning with intense battles featuring every ranger from both teams. There are many characters in this issue, including Zartus’ Eltarian forces and every character gets their due both in writing and art.
Do not let this issue be spoiled for you. The ending is one of the best cliffhangers in this run and really leaves me wondering how things will get resolved.”
