Fans of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic series from BOOM! Studios recently saw their beloved comic book universe come to a close in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour. At that time, the future of Power Rangers comics seemed murky, but BOOM! Studios has now removed those fears with the announcement of their new on-going Power Rangers comic series titled “Power Rangers Prime“.
Similar in concept to the idea of the Ultimates universe in Marvel Comics, Power Rangers Prime features the Power Rangers but in a brand new universe untied to any previous continuity. The main character to start this series is none other than the Power Rangers Samurai Red Ranger Lauren Shiba, who is on the run from the Eltarian Police for being a Power Ranger, and finds her way to Angel Grove where she will meet friends and foes, and not necessarily who you expect. Another star in the series will be a Power Rangers Megaforce character, and potentially a member from Power Rangers Jungle Fury. The new comic has no rules in what it can do and who it can focus on with no ties to previous continuity.

The new comic is written by Melissa Flores and will be illustrated by Michael Yg. Character design and covers are handled by veteran Power Rangers artist Dan Mora. Power Rangers Prime #1 releases on November 13th 2024.
