This is it. The big test. Sage will need to successfully perform her First Morph, but don’t worry–it will only take all of her skills, while surviving on a hostile planet known only as CHROMIA! It will take more than just her skills though, with teamwork being essential to reach the peak and acquire the means of Morphin time. But when the class bully runs into some trouble on the way, will Sage risk her test results to save him, or leave him behind? In this game-changing issue, fans are not going to want to miss out on the exclusive spoiler variant cover by Goñi Montes, featuring a surprise so big that we can’t show you the art!
