Power Rangers #50 Shocker: Reality to Be Shattered by Return of Fan-Favorite Character

Published Tue, 21 Jan 2020 20:01:43 -0600

Explosive publisher BOOM! Studios has today announced the "Reality-Shattering" return of a fan-favorite character in the upcoming milestone 50th issue of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It is very courteous of the comic book publisher to give us advance warning of the impending shattering of reality so that we can all put our affairs in order before the damage reality causes all life in the universe to cease as we know it. Of course, some might question why, knowing the danger this reality-shattering puts us all in, BOOM! Doesn't prevent the coming apocalypse by simply not publishing the comic, but those people clearly don't understand the importance of a milestone 50th issue which also happens to conclude a super-mega-crossover event.

Besides, what is the fabric of reality anyway when compared to the happiness of the hardcore fans of Power Rangers, a group colloquially known as the Powerbronies?

Power Rangers #50 hits stores in April, so make peace with your maker before then. And you definitely don't want to waste time reading the press release below…

The Reality-Shattering Return of Fan-Favorite Character in MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #50
