The Shattered Grid event in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic has claimed it’s final two victims – Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo are leaving the book, passing the torch to Marguerite Bennett and Simone Di Meo as writer and artist, respectively. Starting in Issue 31, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Comic will Change Creative Team at Shattered Grid Conclusion.

This new team will be continuing on from the after-effects of the conclusion of the Shattered Grid comic event. Kyle Higgins states in an exclusive article with ComicBook.com that there is no giant reset button for the event – the changes that happen in the book are, for the time being, permanent and change everything (just look at the new team!).

The final issue featuring Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo will be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30, which releases this August. The last work featuring Kyle Higgins as writer for Power Rangers will be the Soul of the Dragon graphic novel, which releases near the end of the year.

To Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo – THANK YOU. Thank you for taking a property known for being 100% kids oriented and telling real stories with real consequences. Thank you for taking Power Rangers seriously, showing the comic book world that our favorite spandex heroes can have awesome, gritty stories with heart and soul. You will both go down as creative legends in the Power Rangers universe.

To Marguerite Bennett and Simone Di Meo – WELCOME! We cannot wait to see what you have in store for the Power Rangers universe and we are excited to be able to take the journey with you!

Boom Studios via our friends at PowerRangersNow has just announced a brand new Graphic Novel: Power Rangers Soul of the Dragon!

Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon will be an all-new story featuring the legendary Tommy Oliver during his retirement life who sets out to find his missing son while the SPD Rangers take charge of defending the Earth.

As a young adult, Tommy Oliver set upon a journey that would inspire hundreds of Power Rangers that would come afterward, thwarting evils like Empress Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, and King Mondo of the Machine Empire. Now, Tommy’s retired with Katherine and leaves protecting the world to Space Patrol Delta–including his son, JJ. But when Jake disappears, presumed dead after an undercover mission goes wrong, Tommy will call on all his training, his friends, and maybe even some of his enemies as he sets out on one last mission: find his son and bring him home. From writer Kyle Higgins (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Nightwing) comes the final story for history’s mightiest Power Ranger.

A new form he achieved after having obtained a Samuraizer, and having absorbed the energy of the Power Rangers Samurai within. As Lord Drakkon continues to grow in power and absorb more pieces of the Morphin’ Grid, could we see his further evolution’s on future variant covers? We certainly hope so!

Via Comicbook.com We have our first look at the main cover and two variants for the upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #30 from Boom! Studios.

In this exclusive preview we get our first look at the main cover by Jamal Campbell, featuring a number of helmets from felled rangers surrounding Lord Drakkon’s throne. The Jordan Gibson variant gives us the traditional MMPR border used on a number of variants through out the series but features Andros the In Space Red Ranger as it’s main focus. Given the In Space rangers part in the Shattered Grid Annual, this could signal a larger role for them all to play. And the final gorgeous cover is by Carlos Villa, who treats us to an incredible “Forever Black” team-up of Black Rangers spanning franchise history.

Power Rangers #30 is a ways off from release, due out some time in August, but for now we can continue to drool over these lovely covers. Thanks to Comicbook.com for their exclusive preview.
