Unexpected Visitors in Your First Look at MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #120

Posted on by

Los Angeles, CA (April 29, 2024) — BOOM! Studios, under license by leading toy and game company Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), revealed a first look at MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #120, the continuation of the DARKEST HOUR event, taking place after the bold and greatly anticipated Reunited, Recharged era of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The superstar creative lineup includes writer Melissa Flores (Power Rangers, The Dead Lucky), artist Valeria Favoccia (Stranger Things: Afterschool Adventures), colorist Valentina Pinto (Charlie’s Angels, My Little Pony), and letterer Ed Dukeshire (The Woods, Irredeemable) in the continuation of this monumental 12-month event, available in May 2024.

In this close look at the Solar Rangers, the spreading infection of the Morphin Grid threatens their home in the distant reaches of space. In a call that feels nearly impossible to make, their leader, the Purple Solar Ranger, must take drastic steps to keep them safe. However, an  unexpected visitor will complicate things…
