Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Ongoing

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS ONGOING SERIES

The forecast in Angel Grove today calls for sunshine and a chance of... monsters from space?

Longtime fans of the smash-hit show Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and newcomers to this ensemble driven series, will discover a deeply compelling world packed with highflying adventure and tremendous heart. Welcome to Angel Grove. Home to the Power Rangers and weekly monster attacks. Tommy Oliver was the new kid in town when evil doer, Rita Repulsa, swooped in and made him the Green Ranger. Now, free from her mind control, Tommy struggles to find balance between the plights of high school, making new friends, and the dangers that come with being a hero.

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS featured stories set after Tommy joined the team as the Green Ranger, leading up to the massive, crossover event featuring every Ranger ever: SHATTERED GRID. Michael was on the editorial team from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #21-31, with #25-30 as part of SHATTERED GRID.

SEASON HOMAGE VARIANTS

The Variant Cover program for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25-39 had artist Jordan Gibson capture a key moment from every Power Rangers season. Michael art directed the covers from start to finish for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25-35 and selected each season's moment to feature.

COLOR SPOTLIGHT VARIANTS

The Variant Cover program for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25-39 had artists Carlos Villa, Joana Lafuente, and Linda Lithen include every ranger of each individual color. Michael art directed the covers from start to finish, which required him to memorize very minor details of every ranger ever. (Please test me.)
