Media Release -- In celebration of the monumental 40th anniversary of Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo, BOOM! Studios, Dark Horse Comics, and Hasbro invite fans to discover the first look of MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS/USAGI YOJIMBO #1! This special one-shot by veteran Power Rangers scribe Ryan Parrott, illustrated by Shawn Daley (Ogre), colored by James Fenner (Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Shapeshifters), and lettered by Ed Dukeshire (Once & Future), the crossover between the Ronin Rabbit and everyone's favorite teenagers with attitude hits shelves September 2024.
During a routine Rita Repulsa attack, the Rangers' morphers do something unexpected…by hurling them back to the Edo era of Japan!
Upon arriving at their historic destination, the mysterious Ogasawara begs the Rangers for their help. But the enemy they face isn't what they were expecting…and our band of heroes will have to face a painful revelation if they want to save the day and return home.
