BOOM! Studios’ latest Power Rangers anthology will have a special twist: actors who starred in one or more incarnations of the TV show are writing stories for the book. Power Rangers: Across the Morphin Grid will feature stories by David Yost (original Blue Ranger), Walter Jones (original Black Ranger), Steve Cardenas (second Red Ranger), and Nakia Burrise (third Yellow Ranger), joined by writers Mat Groom, J.D. Sutphin, and Meghan Camerana. Artists on the issue are Paulina Ganucheau, Tango, Patrick Mulholland, Domo Stanton, and Anand Ramcheron.

“A true honor to work with all the talented people at BOOM! Studios and to be asked to write a story based on my character, Billy. I had so much fun imagining where Billy would be at 28 years old. I trust fans will enjoy my story and all the various stories being told in this anthology. Let’s GoGo!” Yost said.

“I’m so excited that BOOM! Studios is expanding the Morphin Grid Anthology, and it looks like I’m next on the list! I’ve had the great privilege in the past to briefly work with BOOM! about Rocky and his background. But now to have the opportunity to create and collab and tell my own story is just a dream come true for me,” Cardenas said. “I hope you enjoy what Mat and I came up with as a part of this new chapter!”

“What ever happened to Tanya and Adam?” Burrise teased.

The oversized issue features a main cover by Ejikure (Wild’s End) with variants by Riley Rossmo (Martian Manhunter), Goi Montes (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), and Matt Taylor.

“As someone who as a child watched the first episode of Mighty Morphin live when it debuted; the Power Rangers have meant the world to me for over 30 years! BOOM! continues to cherish their legacy and validate the fans with incredible stories and phenomenal art that these characters deserve,” Sutphin said. “To be able to add a little to their world is so truly meaningful and a full circle moment for me that I’ll never take for granted.”

“This project was a childhood dream come true,” Stanton said. “When I was a kid, I used to pretend to be the Black Ranger; now actually getting the opportunity to work with Walter Jones is just next level awesome.”

“It’s been both a nostalgia trip and exciting new ground to be able to work on this small glimpse into Tanya’s future as a seasoned Ranger,” Tango said. “And giving those nods to some of those relationships so core to her character.”

Power Rangers: Across the Morphin Grid #1 will be in comic shops on October 30, 2024.
