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 rights.[1]
In March 2019, Boom! announced "Necessary Evil", the second crossover event between Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Saban's Go 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's Go 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]
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.[14] 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 marked the conclusion of the original Power Rangers comic book continuity.[17]
