With the upcoming release of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 25 from BOOM! Studios we are going into full celebration mode!

The Shattered Grid mega-event in Power Rangers starts on Wednesday, March 28th with the release of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers issue 25. The evil, alternate reality version of Tommy Oliver – otherwise known as Lord Drakkon – is back and this means big trouble for every single Power Ranger to ever exist. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will have to team up with members of Power Rangers Time Force, Power Rangers Samurai, Power Rangers RPM, Power Rangers SPD, and more if they’re going to survive the Shattered Grid!
Join us for a full day of articles celebrating BOOM! Studios comics Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers.

NOTE – We have left out any spoilers for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 25. Our spoiler review will happen at 12:00am EST on Wednesday, March 28th. We will mark the title with spoilers. The rest of our coverage for the Power Rangers Shattered Grid panel from WonderCon 2018 is below.
At WonderCon 2018 BOOM! Studios held a special panel for the Power Rangers Shattered Grid event which officially kicked off in Go Go Power Rangers 08 this past week, and continues THIS week with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 25. During the panel, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic writer Kyle Higgins selected one lucky fan to read the issue first. It was simply a ploy – every member in attendance received an early copy of an exclusive cover, specifically for this panel, to read DURING the panel. There are now a large number of fans who know what happens in the comic and most of them have exclaimed the same reaction – BUY THIS ISSUE and YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THIS ISSUE.
Here are some spoiler-y tidbits of information from the panel. Go Go Power Rangers 08 spoilers included without spoiler tag – we do not believe something that’s already released is a spoiler at this point.
– The Ranger Slayer, who premiered in Go Go Power Rangers Issue 08, is indeed the Lord Drakkon universe Kimberly Hart, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Pink Ranger
– – She wields the Bow of Darkness
– The Gravezord is officially named in this design image, made up of various pieces of the fallen Power Rangers from Lord Drakkon‘s universe
– Due to a huge, spoiler event in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 25, the final cover for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 26 has not been fully revealed
Get ready, Power Rangers fans. The Shattered Grid event is now underway. And truly, NO RANGER IS SAFE.
Yesterday, fans of Power Rangers rejoiced in ways not seen in a very long time as Jason David Frank reprised his role as Tommy Oliver in a short prelude video for the upcoming BOOM! Studios Shattered Grid comic event for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers. In the video, Jason David Frank – playing the evil Lord Drakkon – reflects on various moments in Power Rangers history before ordering his armies forward to destroy the Power Rangers. The video ends on a chilling note – “they could have been Gods”.
Fans with keen ears and sharp eyes quickly noted that this prelude was scored by none other than Ron Wasserman, known in the Power Rangers fan community as the individual who scored all of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, provided tracks through Power Rangers In Space, and last performed the theme song for Power Rangers SPD. Ron Wasserman has been very public regarding his work relationship with Haim Saban – basically, “never again” – so fans were very eager to hear the story of how he ended up working on this prelude video.
Ron Wasserman took to YouTube to record a self-interview of how he was contacted by the prelude’s director (and comic writer) Kyle Higgins, and shares a number of un-used tracks for the prelude. Check it out below and enjoy!
This year’s Power Morphicon exclusive, a Legacy Lord Drakkon figure, has had its first images shown to the public. This figure is produced by Bandai America exclusively for the Power Rangers fan convention Power Morphicon, and is available for purchase by attendees.
Featuring an all new mold, Legacy Lord Drakkon comes with both the Dragon Dagger and Saba Sword. Lord Drakkon is the alternate reality version of Tommy Oliver, who instead of joining the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as the Green Ranger and 6th member of their team, voluntarily chose to remain with Rita Repulsa and conquered the Earth instead. Lord Drakkon is featured prominently this year in the BOOM! Studios comics Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers during the Shattered Grid event.

Jason David Frank has just posted to his personal youtube account, a surprise live action video prelude to THE comic book event of the year. Shattering the world of the Power Rangers, and our own expectations, this is Shattered Grid!
Shattered Grid, the event that will effect every Power Ranger in the multiverse, begins next Wednesday March 28th! Be sure to hit up your Local Comic Shop that day to grab your copy of the issue. It all begins in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25 from Boom! Studios.
The Power Rangers HyperForce have suffered with their time in the Shattered Grid event for the Power Rangers comic books. Last week, our heroes arrived at New Tech City but it wasn’t the same New Tech City that they remembered – instead it was overrun with sentries bearing the look of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Our heroes found an ally in Colonel Hicks as they planned to break prisoners out of a stronghold, retrieve data on Scorpina‘s plans, and help the Coinless continue their fight.

SPOILERS FOR POWER RANGERS HYPERFORCE BELOW!!!

Unfortunately, their plans were tragically ruined as Colonel Hicks turned out to be merely a shell of human flesh for the evil Pumpkin Rapper, who grew large and immediately self-destructed, killing most of the imprisoned civilians that the Power Rangers HyperForce were attempting to rescue. As our heroes learned of the fate of those they attempted to rescue, a ship landed and a figure clad in white stepped out – “Enough!” cried this figure, slamming a sword in to the ground.
Lord Drakkon had arrived.
Tonight on Power Rangers HyperForce, Jason David Frank (the original Green Mighty Morphin Power Ranger) rejoins the cast of Power Rangers HyperForce making his debut appearance as the evil Lord Drakkon.
For those unfamiliar with Lord Drakkon, he is the future Tommy Oliver from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers who voluntarily chose to stay at the side of Rita Repulsa, helping her conquer most of the Earth and destroyed the Power Rangers. Those who remain call themselves the Coinless and their resistance battle is, at best, simply delaying the inevitable.
The Shattered Grid event in the comic books features the return of Lord Drakkon, having broken free of his prison within the Prometheus, traveling through space and time to destroy ALL the Power Rangers once and for all. This is the Power Rangers event fans have been clamoring for. This event will forever change the Power Rangers as we have all come to know them as, and not everyone is going to survive the fight.
Will the Power Rangers HyperForce be able to stop the evil Lord Drakkon? Will they be able to stop Scorpina from using Serpentara to destroy an entire coast of the United States? Will any of them make it out of this alive? Tune in to Power Rangers HyperForce on Twitch.TV via Hyper RPG at 6pm PST and find out!
Thanks to our friends at PowerRangersNOW, we have our first look at the June covers for both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 028 (Kyle Higgins) and Go Go Power Rangers Issue 010 (Ryan Parrott). As you should be well aware, both titles will be in the midst of the Shattered Grid event, featuring the return of the evil Lord Drakkon as he attempts to transcend time and space to destroy ALL the Power Rangers, EVER.
Go Go Power Rangers Issue 010 will feature a new evil Power Ranger who works for Lord Drakkon – the Ranger Slayer – who will pilot an abomination of zord parts (featuring the Red Dragon Thunderzord, the Tigerzord, and Tor the Shuttle Zord) in an attempt to destroy the Power Rangers in the past to change the future.
In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 028, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers split in to two teams – one with the Power Rangers Time Force and the other with Power Rangers RPM – in battles across worlds in a fading attempt to stop Lord Drakkon.
Check out all the images by clicking the title of the story! We cannot wait for Shattered Grid to begin (which it does later this month!).
As Power Rangers: Shattered Grid draws ever closer, the anticipation for Boom! Studios’ forthcoming comic book event grows higher and higher and thanks to IGN, we have a number of new covers and concept art pieces to tease what the story has in store for fans.
First up are the latest sentries to join the evil Lord Drakkon’s growing army – the Zeo and Samurai Sentries! Much like the previously seen sentries these soldiers have augmented versions of preexisting ranger powers. The Green Zeo Sentry is equipped with a mech suit that can use a variety of weapons, whilst the Blue Samurai Sentry sports a more armoured version of the costume together with twin arm blades and red eyes glowing through their visor.
The third piece of concept art for the event is of a new villain from Drakkon’s timeline – Finster Five. Go Go Power Rangers writer Ryan Parrott pitched the character as a version of a cyborg version of Rita’s chief monster maker that has been augmented using parts from Alpha 5.
Rounding off the images are the covers for Power Rangers #27 and Go Go Power Rangers #9, each of which show off some new faces to the Power Rangers comic universe. Power Rangers #27 shows the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger protecting RPM’s Dr K from Grinders alongside the female Red Samurai Rangers, while Go Go Power Rangers #9 has an even bigger surprise in store. This issue is set to debut a brand new Power Ranger, who writers Ryan Parrot and Kyle Higgins tease is a “new ranger with a familiar face”.
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Power Rangers franchise, Power Rangers: Shattered Grid kicks off in issue #25 of the main Power Rangers comic, which will be released on March 21st. You can check out the full gallery of covers and concept art after the jump, as well as share your thoughts on the upcoming event.
