BOOM! Studios’ Saban’s Power Rangers: Aftershock, is written by Ryan Parrott, who previously wrote the New York Times bestseller Batman: Gates of Gotham and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (see “IDW Prepping 'Star Fleet Academy' Comic”). Lucas Werneck (Rampage Jackson: Street Soldier) provided pencils.
The full-color 96-page softcover features two covers, one from the movie and the other courtesy Greg Smallwood. The latter is available exclusively from comics retailers. Saban’s Power Rangers: Aftershock will be in stores March 29. MSRP is $14.99.Given how secretive the marketing for the film has been, BOOM! offered few details on the content of the graphic novel, stating only that it picks up where the movie leaves off (see “'Transformers,' 'Aquaman,' 'Tomb Raider,' 'Alita,' 'Power Rangers,' 'Planet of the Apes'”).
BOOM! is also publishing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers ongoing, which recently introduced the first new Power Ranger in the Mighty Morphin franchise’s 23-year run in the U.S. (see “Masks for Unmasking of New Power Ranger”).
