After eight years, BOOM! Studios' current Power Rangers comic saga is coming to an end.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour #1, written by Melissa Flores with art by Simona Di Gianfelice with colorist Raúl Angulo, brings to an end the Darkest Hour arc.
From the publisher...
It all ends here! With the Morphin Grid in peril, the people of Earth are left without the Power Rangers to protect them. The ultimate battle against Dark Specter will play out with unexpected consequences, while an unlikely group of rogues, villains, and Rangers make strange company… But even if they win… can they rebuild everything they’ve lost?
“After nearly two years, the Darkest Hour comes to a close," Flores said in a statement. "This event has been one of the biggest tasks of my career, but I’ve enjoyed every single, heart-wrenching minute. Although I put our poor Rangers through the ringer, I hope the ending is as satisfying for the reader as it was for me to write it!”
Flores followed in the footsteps of comic writers including Kyle Higgins, Ryan Parrott and Marguerite Bennett.
“I’m really excited to tell this incredible adventure together with Melissa," Di Gianfelice said. "So far she has kept us in suspense and now she’s ready to surprise us again! Get ready to dive into this final chapter of Darkest Hour! GO GO!”
The finale one-shot features a main cover by Taurin Clarke and a slew of variants by artists including Björn Barends, Goñi Montes and Santa Fung.
This epic, oversized issue will feature a main cover by the iconic Taurin Clarke, alongside a new Dark Grid variant by Björn Barends, Helmet variant by Goñi Montes, and a top secret Spoiler variant by Santa Fung, among many others.
It will be available July 31 in comic shops and on digital storefronts. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #122 hits shelves on July 24.
This is not the end of the road for BOOM! Studios and Power Rangers, however. The publisher says fans can expect to hear more about Power Rangers comics in the coming months, including at San Diego Comic-Con.
