BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at a new oversized special issue, POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: EDGE OF DARKNESS #1, from rising star writer Frank Gogol (Dead End Kids), acclaimed artist Simone Ragazzoni (Power Rangers: Drakkon New Dawn) colorist Igor Monti (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), and letterer Ed Dukeshire (Once & Future) present the first full appearance of the Phantom Ranger in a story that will ripple through the Power Rangers franchise, in June 2021.

ENTER THE PHANTOM RANGER! Answering Zordon’s call, the Phantom Ranger investigates the aftermath of an Empyreal attack. Only to discover their connection to an ancient evil he encountered long ago… which may have finally returned to threaten the entire universe.

POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED: EDGE OF DARKNESS #1 features main cover art by Dan Mora (Once & Future) and variant cover art by illustrators Junggeun Yoon (Spider-woman), Vincenzo Riccardi (Something is Killing the Children), and Derrick Chew (Harley Quinn).

Power Rangers has a new face, with writer Frank Gogol taking the Rangers in a bold direction with Power Rangers Edge of Darkness.

Gogol’s relationship with the Power Rangers

We caught up with series writer Frank Gogol and asked him about Power Rangers: Edge of Darkness. A lifelong Power Rangers fan, Gogol expressed his excitement for the series to hit comic book shops later this month:

“I’m not even sure I can adequately put into words how excited I am. Power Rangers was such a big part of my childhood and to, all these years later, see it having such a strong comeback and then getting to be part of all of that, is absolutely incredible,” says Gogol.

“For BOOM! Studios and Hasbro to be trusting me with the Phantom Ranger — one of the most popular and mysterious characters in the franchise’s nearly 30-year history — is just wild. Phantom Ranger is coming in hot and in a big way.”
