For the Power Rangers Mystic Force episode, see The Return.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return is a four-issue comic book limited series published by BOOM! Studios and written by the original Pink Ranger Amy Jo Johnson and Matt Hotson.[1] The series commemorates the 30th anniversary of Power Rangers.

The Return made its debut in Re-Imagine, a prelude story featured in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30th Anniversary Comic Special in August 2023. A Kickstarter was launched ahead of the release of Issue 1 on February 7, 2024.[2]

The campaign achieved its target fund goal in just 45 minutes and so Boom! Studios introduced a series of stretch goals for the remainder of the crowdfund, including 500 hardcover copies of the complete comic autographed by Amy Jo Johnson and exclusive collectibles. The Kickstarter ended on December 12, 2023 with over $594,000 raised, being $6,000 shy of its second to last $600,000 stretch goal. It was unlocked after they extended it to their pre-order store, adding 16 pages of behind-the-scenes content and an expanded cover gallery to all versions of the collected edition.[3]

Synopsis[]

Twenty-two years after the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers disbanded following their greatest triumph—and an unthinkable tragedy.

Now, with the rogue Red Ranger missing in action, the former friends must reunite to find their old ally… and face a new threat.

As a shocking villain attacks from the shadows, the former heroes confront a secret from their past which will determine the fate—and the future—of the Power Rangers!

Written by actress, screenwriter, and director Amy Jo Johnson, the original Pink Ranger herself, along with rising star co-writer Matt Hotson, and illustrated by renowned artist Nico Leon (Spider-Man, Catwoman), this stellar team creates something never before seen in the Power Rangers universe—in TV or comics![4][5]
