The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book series by BOOM! Studios is so successful that they’ve chosen to release a limited series focusing on just one single Power Ranger … and that’s been announced before Issue #1 has even released yet!
According to the LA Times in an exclusive article, BOOM! Studios and Saban Brands have partnered to release a six issue limited series featuring none other than the original Pink Ranger titled “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink“. This limited series will focus squarely on Kimberly Hart, also known as the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger. With the recent success of both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue #0, as well as more female-central comic books like Squirrel Girl, Thor, Jem and the Holograms, and Spider Gwen it comes as no surprise to see a female-centered comic book release.
Your creative team behind the book is none other than Brenden Fletcher (Batgirl, Gotham Academy, Black Canaray) and Kelly Thompson (Jem and the Holograms, Captain Marvel and the Carol Corps) as writers, and the art duties will be belong to Daniele Di Nicuolo (Mirror’s Edge: Exordium).
The comic is slated to release in May 2016 and continue on for five additional issues. What do you think? Will you be picking it up? Also – no details on variant covers just yet, but if we were to make a wager, we’d say it’s a safe bet to plan on dropping some change to pick up more than a single cover.
Issue #1 isn't even out yet and we've got a second side-series coming out!

That main cover is actually pretty sweet~
Link keeps saying that it can't load the page.
Not 100% how I feel about individual mini-series for characters that are supposed to work as a team, but the current Batgirl writer is on it? That's more than enough to ensure I buy this.
Yeaaaaaaah I have no idea if those writers are any good, aside from crossovers I haven't read anything from those books. Oh well, I'm sure I'll buy this, individual miniseries might help flesh out the characters. Hopefully the rest of the team get them too, I'd love to have one focused on Billy.
I'm surprised to see a Pink Ranger miniseries being released before Green, White or Red. Pleasantly surprised, mind, but still.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was basically two and a half seasons focusing on Tommy both as Green and White ... and the comic is already focusing on him for the first story line, and cashing in on popular girl comics is a trend now so it's really not surprising.
But they have great writers so I don't doubt that this will be huge. Curious how they'll do an updated take on a valley girl who turns in to a superhero.
