IDW Publishing has a reputation for bringing two beloved franchises together in comics form. Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are two of the many films that have been created in a similar fashion. I was shocked to discover that it took IDW until 2021 to create a story about the Power Rangers and the monsters.
I didn't think of the Power Rangers and Morphin Power Rangers comic book series until I received a press release from IDW announcing the limited series, which will be published with Boom Studios. It is obvious in retrospect. Japan's most famous heroes are taking on Japan's most famous monster. A group of people who have been defeating giant monsters forever thanks to the Megazord. The franchises were made for each other.
The Power Rangers concept is Japanese, but the comic series itself is pitting the American characters from the beloved U.S. adaptation of the ‘90s against the Big G. The official synopsis is here.
