DARK SPECTER’S ATTACK REACHES NEW UNIVERSES in MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #117
The DARKEST HOUR Event Continues in April 2024

Los Angeles, CA (April 1, 2024)— BOOM! Studios, under license by leading toy and game company Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), revealed a first look at MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #119, the continuation of the DARKEST HOUR event, taking place after the bold and greatly anticipated Reunited, Recharged era of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The superstar creative lineup includes writer Melissa Flores (Power Rangers, The Dead Lucky), artist Simona Di Gianfelice (All New Firefly) with Marco Renna (Mighty Morphin), colorist Raúl Angulo (Mech Cadet Yu) with assistance by Jose Enrique Fernández, and letterer Ed Dukeshire (The Woods, Irredeemable) in the continuation of this monumental 12-month event, available in April.

Despite an unrelenting onslaught from Dark Specter, Earth is the last bastion of relative safety, but is surrounded by an entirely corrupted Morphin Grid! But it’s only a matter of time before the enemy breaks through, and it will take the combined might of every surviving Ranger to enact their plan!

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #119 features main cover art by star artist Taurin Clarke (Miles Morales: Spider-Man) and variant covers by acclaimed illustrators Björn Barends (Spawn), Goñi Montes (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), and the final connecting cover by Michael Walsh (The Silver Coin)!
