A big shocking announcement from BOOM! Studios, as the publisher announced its eight-year run on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is coming to an end in July with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour #1.
It all ends here! With the Morphin Grid in peril, the people of Earth are left without the Power Rangers to protect them. The ultimate battle against Dark Specter will play out with unexpected consequences, while an unlikely group of rogues, villains, and Rangers make strange company… But even if they win… can they rebuild everything they’ve lost?
The one-shot written by Melissa Flores with art by Simona Di Gianfelice is the big finale of the Darkest Hour story that has been running in the series for the last couple of years.
“After nearly two years, the Darkest Hour comes to a close. This event has been one of the biggest tasks of my career, but I’ve enjoyed every single, heart-wrenching minute. Although I put our poor Rangers through the ringer, I hope the ending is as satisfying for the reader as it was for me to write it!” said series scribe Melissa Flores
But is this the end of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ time at BOOM! Studios, or is this just the end of the current run? Remember this week sees the “end” of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with issue #150 from IDW Publishing, but just around the corner a reboot has already been announced. The answer may be in the last sentence of the solicitation information – a rebuilding, or even a universe reboot would give the title a new life for new readers, which makes sense.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour #1 arrives on July 31, 2024.
