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.
The Eltarians decided to colonize Earth, sharing its technology with humans, but viewed all Rangers as a threat.
Lauren Shiba is one of the last Rangers standing, being on the run from the Eltarian police force.
Other heroes like the VR Troopers are still active.
Lauren is found by Markon Zhao, a human/Aquitarian hybrid, and Jun, an Eltarian, who live on Earth as schoolmates.
Rita Repulsa freed from her slumber on Earth.
As Lauren tries to escape from the Eltarians, Rita begins questioning the new reality on Earth, leading them both to found a new team of Power Rangers.
