The return of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is a significant development for collectors and fans alike, signaling a revival of a cherished franchise.
According to ComicBook.com, a new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book series is set to debut later this year from Penguin Random House. Notably, this series will be penned by acclaimed writer Marguerite Bennett, known for her work on Power Rangers: Beyond the Grid.
The official Penguin Random House website indicates that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (2026) #1 will feature artwork by Andrew Lee Griffith and Phillip Sevy, both of whom have made notable contributions to other well-known series such as Transformers and The House. The release date for the eBook edition of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1 is set for June 3, an important date that collectors and retailers should mark on their calendars.
Additionally, the new series will be published by BOOM! Studios, a publisher that has played an essential role in revitalizing the Power Rangers franchise over the last decade. This connection hints at a promising future, as BOOM! Studios has cultivated a dedicated fanbase with its innovative narratives and character developments.
Since its launch in 2016, BOOM! Studios’ initial run of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comics has been met with enthusiasm, characterized as one of the franchise’s most ambitious iterations. Under the creative direction of Ryan Parrott, the series has introduced new elements that have become staples in the mythology while also reinterpreting iconic characters.
Fans will have the opportunity to engage with the new series prior to its official release at the inaugural Comics Giveaway Day on May 2. This event, a successor to Free Comic Book Day, will feature contributions from various publishers, including BOOM! Studios, which will showcase Power Rangers #0—a compilation title that is set to bridge the current Power Rangers Prime storyline.
As Power Rangers Prime approaches its conclusion with the forthcoming 16th issue, set for release on April 8, anticipation grows regarding future story arcs. This series has introduced readers to a dystopian landscape dominated by the Eltarian Empire, positioning the Power Rangers as mere legends. Amidst this backdrop, the franchise’s enduring appeal is underscored by the character Lauren Shiba, who gathers a new group of heroes wishing to reclaim their legacy.
In parallel, excitement surrounds the prospects of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers returning to television, thanks to the partnership between Disney+ and showrunners Dan Shotz and Jonathan E. Steinberg. While details on this reboot remain limited, confidence is high given the success of their recent adaptation of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
The upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1 from BOOM! Studios and Penguin Random House is scheduled to hit the shelves on June 3, 2026, promising fresh content for collectors and enthusiasts looking to expand their collections.
