Get Your First Look at MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE RETURN #1
LOS ANGELES, CA (December 6, 2023) – BOOM! Studios, together with leading toy and game company Hasbro, are thrilled to present a first look at MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE RETURN #1, written by the original Pink Ranger herself, Amy Jo Johnson, along with co-writer Matt Hotson and artist Nico Leon (Ms. Marvel)!
In an alternate universe, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers defeated Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd, but at a terrible cost…and in the wake of that tragedy, the team went their separate ways.
Twenty-two years later, the long-disbanded team reunites to mourn the losses of beloved friends, but Zack and Billy have some unexpected information to share: Jason–the Red Ranger, who has long been operating as a lone vigilante–has disappeared.
Will the remaining Rangers be able to track him down, especially with a mysterious figure in pursuit?
Amy Jo Johnson, the actress, screenwriter, & director behind Kimberly Hart, the original Pink Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, returns to Power Rangers as part of its 30th anniversary to write her first comic book! Along with co-writer Matt Hotson and artist Nico Leon, Johnson pens a love letter to the franchise in MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE RETURN that imagines an alternate future for the original cast.
UPDATE 12/13/2023 ON STRETCH GOALS from Boom Studios:
Our Pre-Order Store is also up and running on BackerKit now, so if you have friends who missed out on the campaign, let them know they can still pre-order through BackerKit. Anyone placing a pre-order through BackerKit will still receive the benefit of the upgraded books, but the free digital editions and bonus physical items will be exclusive to those who participated in the initial campaign.
And because we came SO close to unlocking our final Soaring Stretch Goal at $600,000 during the active campaign, we’ve decided to extend this Stretch Goal to our Pre-Order Store. When we exceed an additional $5,486 in reserved orders through the BackerKit store, we will consider the final Stretch Goal unlocked for everyone which will expand the collected editions of MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE RETURN from 128 to 144 pages!
MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE RETURN #1 will hit shelves February 7, 2024.
