Publication history

2016–2020

In June 2015, Boom! Studios and Saban Brands announced a new comic book series based on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers . The initial creative staff featured Kyle Higgins as the writer, Steve Orlando and Mairghread Scott as co-writers, and Hendry Prasetya and Daniel Bayliss as the artists. [2] Monthly publications of the series started with the release of issue #0, on January 13, 2016.

One month after the release of the main series, Boom! announced a spin-off series entitled Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink, with six issues written by Brenden Fletcher, Kelly Thompson, and Daniele Di Nicuolo. [3] This series follows a set of Kimberly Hart's adventures after she departs from being a ranger.

In April 2017, Boom! announced a new series titled Saban's Go Go Power Rangers, which would be written by Ryan Parrott and have Dan Mora as artist, and would work as a prequel to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. [4] Aside, both would be become main series for the Power Rangers brand.

In December 2017, Boom Studios announced "Shattered Grid", a crossover storyline between Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Saban's Go Go Power Rangers. This arc celebrated the 25th anniversary of Power Rangers. [5]

In July 2018, Hasbro became the new owner of the Power Rangers franchise. [1]

In March 2019, Boom! announced "Necessary Evil", the second crossover event between Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Saban'sGo Go Power Rangers, written by Ryan Parrott and Sina Grace. [6] Following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic over the comic book industry, the event concluded in June 2020, with Saban'sGo Go Power Rangers ending after 32 issues. [7]

2020–2024

The mainline Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series concluded in October 2020 after 55 issues, and in November, it is continued by two new separate series (titled as Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers) that launched a new storyline titled "Unlimited Power". [8] [9]

In August 2021, "The Eltarian War" was announced as the conclusion of the "Unlimited Power" event, along with the limited series Power Rangers Universe. [10] Mat Groom became the writer of Mighty Morphin following this crossover. [11]

In April 2022, it was announced that both Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers series would end in August 2022 as part of a special crossover event titled "Charge to 100!" [12] The event would then conclude in September 2022 with the relaunched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #100, as well as being the final issue written by Ryan Parrott. [12] [13]

In July 2022, it was announced that Melissa Flores would serve as the new writer, with art by Simona Di Gianfelce. [14]

Since October 2022, the relaunched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series began a new storyline titled "Recharged", starting with issue #101, written by former Director of Power Rangers Development and Production Melissa Flores and drawn by recurring artist Simona Di Gianfelce. Flores considers the storyline as "a dream come true" and that the coming issues will feature "a wild ride that will aim to honor the history of the series, and push the Rangers to their absolute limits." [15]

The second part titled "Darkest Hour" debuted in August 2023 to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the Power Rangers franchise. [16] The whole event marks the conclusion of the current Power Rangers comic book continuity. [17]

Power Rangers is an entertainment and merchandising franchise built around a live-action superhero television series, based on the Japanese tokusatsu franchise Super Sentai. Produced first by Saban Entertainment, second by BVS Entertainment, later by Saban Brands, and today by SCG Power Rangers LLC and its parent company, Hasbro, the Power Rangers television series takes much of its footage from the Super Sentai television series, produced by Toei Company. The first Power Rangers entry, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, debuted on August 28, 1993, and helped launch the Fox Kids programming block of the 1990s, during which it catapulted into popular culture along with a line of action figures and other toys by Bandai. By 2001, the media franchise had generated over $6 billion in toy sales.

<i>Mighty Morphin Power Rangers</i> American live action childrens television series

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (MMPR) is an American superhero television series that premiered on August 28, 1993, on the Fox Kids programming block. It is the first entry of the Power Rangers franchise, and became a 1990s pop culture phenomenon along with a large line of toys, action figures, and other merchandise. The show adapted stock footage from the Japanese TV series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger (1992–1993), which was the 16th installment of Toei's Super Sentai franchise. The second and third seasons of the show drew elements and stock footage from Gosei Sentai Dairanger and Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, respectively, though the Zyuranger costumes were still used for the lead cast in these two seasons. Only the mecha and the Kiba Ranger costume from Dairanger were featured in the second season while only the Kakuranger mecha was featured in the third season, though the Kakuranger costumes were later used for the mini-series Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers. The series was produced by MMPR Productions and distributed by Saban Entertainment, while the show's merchandise was produced and distributed by Bandai Entertainment.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Kimberly Hart</span> Fictional character in Power Rangers

Kimberly Ann Hart is a fictional character in the Power Rangers universe. Played by American actress Amy Jo Johnson during the first three seasons of the show, plus on the two feature films of the franchise, Kimberly has the longest tenure of any female ranger in the series' history, and fourth overall. She is best remembered as the first Pink Ranger (pterodactyl) and first Pink Ninja Ranger from the first entry of the franchise Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Kimberly was the Pink Ranger for nearly three years before she was written off the show as having given up her powers for good to Zordon's new pink ranger Katherine Hillard, to participate at the Pan Global Games in Florida. However, she would briefly return as the Pink Ranger on three occasions. She first returned during the Legendary Battle of Power Rangers Super Megaforce alongside former teammates Zack Taylor, Billy Cranston, Trini Kwan, and Jason Lee Scott. The five of them later fought alongside the Dino Thunder Rangers, Dino Charge Rangers, and the Grid Battleforce Rangers against Goldar Maximus in Power Rangers Beast Morphers. She also returned to fight a robotic version of Rita Repulsa with the other four original rangers and Tommy Oliver in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always. Johnson did not reprise her role for any of these appearances.

<i>Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie</i> 1995 film directed by Bryan Spicer

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is a 1995 American superhero film. It stars the ensemble cast of Karan Ashley, Johnny Yong Bosch, Steve Cardenas, Jason David Frank, Amy Jo Johnson, and David Yost alongside the villains cast from the original series and Paul Freeman as Ivan Ooze. Much like the television season that followed the release, it used concepts from the Japanese Super Sentai series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, Gosei Sentai Dairanger and Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. It is the first Power Rangers production from Saban Entertainment not to feature any archived footage from Super Sentai. It is the first installment in the Power Rangers film series. The film was released in between the second and third seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but is incompatible with season three, which provides a different explanation for the Rangers gaining their Ninja Ranger powers and Ninjazords, indicating they are set in different continuities.
