MMPR: The Return #1 sells out at distributor level

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return #1, the first in the five-part limited comic series co-written by Amy Jo Johnson, has sold out at the distributor level, BOOM! Studios announced Thursday.

The publisher announced a second printing with character design cover art by Dan Mora. It will hit shelves on March 3.

The series is written by the Pink Ranger herself and writer-director Matt Hotson, with artist Nico Leon, colorist Francesco Segala with Gloria Martinelli, and letterer Ed Dukeshire.

“We’re thrilled to see Ranger fans worldwide jumping into comic books for the first time with The Return!” Filip Sablik, President of Publishing & Sales for BOOM! Studios, said in a statement. “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers history is being made with the amazing team of Amy Jo, Matt, Nico, Francesco, and Ed and we are so excited for everyone to experience their fresh reimagining of the characters we all know and love!”

The series tells an alternate universe story of the rangers reuniting 22 years after they made a great sacrifice to defeat Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd. They come together to mourn their losses but Zack and Billy come with news -- Jason, who had become a lone vigilante, has disappeared.

The release date for The Return #2 has not yet been announced.
