Official Press Release

LOS ANGELES, CA (December 6, 2023) – BOOM! Studios, together with leading toy and game company Hasbro, are thrilled to present a first look at MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE RETURN #1, written by the original Pink Ranger herself, Amy Jo Johnson, along with co-writer Matt Hotson and artist Nico Leon (Ms. Marvel)!

In an alternate universe, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers defeated Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd, but at a terrible cost…and in the wake of that tragedy, the team went their separate ways.

Twenty-two years later, the long-disbanded team reunites to mourn the losses of beloved friends, but Zack and Billy have some unexpected information to share: Jason–the Red Ranger, who has long been operating as a lone vigilante–has disappeared.

Will the remaining Rangers be able to track him down, especially with a mysterious figure in pursuit?

Amy Jo Johnson, the actress, screenwriter, & director behind Kimberly Hart, the original Pink Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, returns to Power Rangers as part of its 30th anniversary to write her first comic book! Along with co-writer Matt Hotson and artist Nico Leon, Johnson pens a love letter to the franchise in MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE RETURN that imagines an alternate future for the original cast.

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: THE RETURN BOOM! DIRECT RESERVE CAMPAIGN will continue for 5 days, with special surprises, product reveals, and hidden stretch goals to be announced all month long!
