Posted on by

 To continue the 30-year legacy of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, BOOM! Studios has put together the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30th Anniversary Comic Special–a landmark celebratory anthology issue featuring five brand new stories paying homage to the legacy of the Rangers, written by Ryan Parrott, Mat Groom, the original Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger Amy Jo Johnson and Matt Hotson, and young adult author Maria Ingrande Mora, along with current Mighty Morphin Power Rangers superstar scribe Melissa Flores! Joining the celebration are returning fan-favorite Power Rangers artists including Hendry Prasetya, Eleonora Carlini, Marco Renna, and Power Rangers newcomer Jo Mi-Gyeong.
 
Between a spotlight on Ernie in Angel Grove, Alpha 5’s struggle to find his true purpose, a mind-bending “What If?” story about Tommy’s powers which introduces an all-new alternate universe, an additional tale about his marriage to Kat, and a deeper look at the Ranger Academy, this anniversary issue is truly packed full of content worthy of the 30-year legacy.
 
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30th Anniversary Comic Special features a main cover by Dan Mora and variants by Rian Gonzales, Jamal Campbell, Bon Bernardo, Miguel Mercado, and Goñi Montes. Along with 40 pages of brand new action-packed material, and an additional 24 pages of classic material that fans new and old will be delighted to experience!

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30th Anniversary Comic Special arrives August 30th.

Power Rangers 30th Anniversary

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.
