The Power Rangers universe is set to expand like never before with the upcoming release of Power Rangers Prime, a new ongoing series from BOOM! Studios. Written by the acclaimed Melissa Flores, known for her work on Darkest Hour and Power Rangers, and illustrated by the talented Michael Yg, this series promises to redefine the beloved franchise with fresh, thrilling narratives and stunning visuals.
Power Rangers Prime will take readers on a new adventure that reimagines the Power Rangers universe while staying true to its core themes of heroism and teamwork. Flores expresses her excitement about this new chapter, saying, “With Power Rangers Prime, we’re bringing the comics into a reimagined world! Familiar characters and settings will pop up in unexpected ways, but this is an all-new adventure – a crazy journey I can’t wait to share with you that beats with the heart of what it means to be a Power Ranger.”
The story kicks off with a group of Angel Grove University students who find themselves entangled in a dangerous situation after crossing paths with a legendary fugitive. The consequences of their actions could be dire, but hiding this mysterious figure becomes increasingly difficult as her existence is on the verge of being exposed. This new narrative is the perfect jumping-on point for both new readers and longtime fans, as it promises to deliver an exhilarating experience unlike anything seen before in the Power Rangers mythos.
Michael Yg, who is thrilled to be part of the project, reminisces about his childhood love for Power Rangers, stating, “Back in the ’90s, kids of my age in China got only a handful of American shows and cartoons, and they were simply priceless! We’d rush back home from school to catch them… Power Rangers was one of the best. Now, not only am I drawing it, but the book is also written by the unbelievably talented Melissa Flores, and designed by Dan Mora… I’m putting my absolute heart and soul into this book!”
Fans can look forward to the release of Power Rangers Prime #1 on November 13, 2024. The issue will be available in comic shops and for digital purchase through platforms like Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.
