Boom Studios promised that the new Power Rangers comic Power Rangers Prime would be an "Ultimate" universe take. But it seems not the Brian Bendis/Mark Millar version, but the Jonathan Hickman version. With a brand new history for this new reality… which though it may seem set in the far future, is not. Just things have changed.
With the first Power Rangers emerging in Feudal Japan. Originally formed by Zordon, a wizard and Guardian of Eltar…
Turns out they popped by London somewhere between the 5th and 14th centuries, until a fledging USA needed help too. And more recently as well.
An Eltarian invasion of Earth in the fifties, leads to a very different present day.
Even though they still remember the forties as we do. History is being written and rewritten…
And Earth, basically, lost to the Eltarians. This, it seems, is the new Power Rangers storyline going forward at Boom Studios. A different reality, one where Power Rangers are hunted…
…. after all, as Bleeding Cool promised, they have alternatives.
The VR Troopers. But there rumbling between the humans, the colonial Eltarians and the refugee Andresians, all on one planet.
It turns out that this Power Rangers Prime-Verse may not be so different after all. Especially if it gets visitors from more familiar realities… Power Rangers: Prime #1 by Melissa Flores and Michael Yg is published by Boom Studios today.
