BOOM! Studios Announces New Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Comic by Amy Jo Johnson
Today, BOOM! Studios – the publisher of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book – announced a brand new series written by former and original Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger herself – Amy Jo Johnson and her partner, Director Matt Hotson. The series is scheduled to release later this year as part of the Power Rangers 30 celebration.
While Amy Jo Johnson states it was hard to keep this project a secret, she also stated on her panel at Emerald City Comic Con in December of 2021 that her and Matt Hotson had pitched a story idea to BOOM! Studios for a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iconic series. She shared brief story details – essentially that it would follow the current day events of our favorite heroes some 30 years later – at the time of her original announcement.
Amy Jo Johnson also states this is her contribution to the 30th anniversary of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and is one of many reasons she overlooked returning to the show for the upcoming reunion special.
First Look – Ohkuwagata Ohger from Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger
The current Super Sentai series airing in Japan – Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger – is in full swing and winning over the hearts of fans. And thanks to some magazine scans we have our first look at an upcoming villain character – Ohkuwagata Ohger!
This gray version of Kuwagata Ohger (Red) is shown fighting our new favorite villainous King and fans are speculating on his very-likely identity (we won’t mention it here to avoid spoilers for those who haven’t watched yet).
We want to note – Ohkuwagata Ohger should not be considered a traditional sixth as that character will be, according to previous leaks, spider-themed.
Can’t wait to see this play out in the show!
(NOTE: The existence of Ohkuwagata Ohger was originally revealed accidentally in a plushie listing weeks ago)
