Power Rangers Prime is an ongoing American comic book series written by Melissa Flores, with art by Michael Yg and Fabi Marques. The series debuted on November 13, 2024, being published by Boom! Studios. Based on Hasbro's Power Rangers franchise, the series is set in a rebooted continuity from the previous Power Rangers comics (2016–2024).

Publication history

Background

Since 2016 to 2024, Boom! Studios published a Power Rangers comic book continuity, which featured events like "Shattered Grid", "Necessary Evil", "Unlimited Power/The Eltarian War", and "Charge to 100!", concluding with the ''Recharged/Darkest Hour'' crossover storyline.

Development

In August 2024, it was announced that a new series dubbed Power Rangers Prime would debut in November later that year. The series, written by Melissa Flores and illustrated by Michael Yg, will serve as a reboot to Boom!'s comic continuity.

Setting

Premise

Power Rangers Prime is set in a new timeline forged in the aftermath of the ''Recharged/Darkest Hour" event. In this timeline, many events happened:

  • Earth was invaded by the Beast Brigade, which defeated the Power Rangers until the Eltarian Army came.
  • The Eltarian Army decided to colonize Earth, sharing its technology with humans, but viewed all Rangers as a threat; Lauren Shiba is one of the Rangers standing, being on the run from the Eltarian police force.
  • Other heroes like the VR Troopers are still active.
  • Lauren is found by Markon Zhao, a human/Aquitarian hybrid, and Jun, an Eltarian, who live on Earth as schoolmates.
  • Rita Repulsa freed from her slumber on Earth.
