A revelation was made today when when it was announced by several media outlets that BOOM! Studios will be taking over the rights to Power Ranger Comics. To show us what they’re made of 5/6 of the Mighty Morphin’ Covers were released! I gotta tell you, these covers are amazing!
“In a partnership with Saban Brands, the publisher has picked up the comic book license to the Power Rangers brand to produce new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comics. The first step will be introducing a set of six exclusive, one-page comics at San Diego Comic-Con in July.”
According to the Article the New Comics will appeal to the 90s Era Fans of Power Rangers. Each comic will focus on the each of the Ranger based on the cover art by artist Goñi Montes (RoboCop) on one side, and a one-page comic written by Mairghread Scott (Transformers: Witchblade) and illustrated byDaniel Bayliss (Translucid) on the other side.
“The six comics are designed to be read as individual parts or can be stitched together to form one full story.”
“We have big, big plans that will build on the core universe of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” said BOOM! Studios editor-in-chief Matt Gagnon. “We can’t give too much away just yet, but the story we’re kicking off with is vast in scope. Fans of BOOM! know we treat the existing properties we collaborate on with a focus on authenticity and quality. That’s the same sensibility we’re applying here.”
Hmm… this sounds really interesting! I was never really interested in the previous comics from PaperCutz Comics, but based on the idea and that gorgeous cover art, I may just pick these up ASAP!
