BOOM! Studios is currently running a crowdfunding (now called “direct reserve”) campaign for the Power Rangers: A 30th Anniversary Comic Celebration. While it nears a half million dollars already, there’s bigger news… a new Power Rangers comic series written by Amy Jo Johnson and Matt Hotson.

Yes, Kimberly Hart will join the publisher to help celebrate 30 years of Power Rangers. Hotson has worked on such series as V-Wars and Titans.

Details on the hotly anticipated series are being kept under wraps for the time being, but more information will be made available later this year.

Amy Jo Johnson began her acting career as Kimberly Hart, the original Pink Power Ranger. For the next twenty years, she starred in a number of film and television productions, such as Susie Q, Perfect Body, Felicity, and Flashpoint. For the last ten years, she has turned her attention to behind the camera, writing and directing four short films, two feature films, and made her foray into TV directing on the CW’s Superman and Lois.  Amy Jo is incredibly excited to reflect back on her time as a Ranger, and this comic book series will be a love letter to her fans and the franchise that gave her her start.

When Matt Hotson saw his first comic book (G.I. Joe Special Missions #22) at the impressionable young age of four, he was blown away that someone had made a Saturday morning kids show he could take with him wherever he went. Since then, he’s read way too many comics, and worked as an assistant director on TV shows like DC’s Titans (and a bunch of other ones that didn’t have any superheroes in them for some reason). Now he co-writes Power Rangers comic books with Amy Jo Johnson, so he can take a Saturday morning kids show with him wherever he goes.
