Publication history

Background

Since 2016 to 2024, Boom! Studios published a Power Rangers comic book continuity, which featured events like "Shattered Grid", "Necessary Evil", "Unlimited Power/The Eltarian War", and "Charge to 100!", concluding with the '' Recharged/Darkest Hour '' crossover storyline. [2]

Development

In August 2024, it was announced that a new series dubbed Power Rangers Prime would debut in November later that year. The series, written by Melissa Flores and illustrated by Michael Yg, will serve as a reboot to Boom!'s comic continuity. [1]

Setting

Power Rangers Prime is set in an alternate universe forged in the aftermath of the '' Recharged/Darkest Hour" storyline.

In this timeline, Earth was invaded by the Beast Brigade, which defeated the Power Rangers until the Eltarian Army came. As a result, the Eltarians ruled the Earth through an authoritarian regime, viewing all Rangers as a menace and sending heroes like the VR Troopers to capture them. Moreover, Rita Repulsa is free from her slumber and begins his machinations to found a new team of Rangers.

In the meantime, the Troopers begin to question everything they believed about the regime, when a familiar face from their past appears.
