SCOOP: Boom Studios Launch New VR Troopers Series by Mairghread Scott

SCOOP: Boom Studios launch a new VR Troopers comic book series written by Mairghread Scott, out in June 2025

Coming out of the London Book Fair, I get the news that Boom Studios, publishers of the Power Rangers series, are to launch a new VR Troopers comic book series in June written by Mairghread Scott.

The VR Troopers have already popped up in the Power Rangers series, and in May, Boom Studios are launching a Power Rangers/VR Troopers one-shot for Free Comic Book Day by Melissa Flores, Trish Forstner and an unnamed creative team. Might one of them be Mairghread Scott?

VR Troopers #1 will be published by Boom Studios, on the 25th of June, 2025. VR Troopers was the first official "sister" TV series to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, another Americanization of three different Japanese TV series that ran from 1994 to 1996. The show was cancelled after two seasons as the available Japanese footage was quickly exhausted. In 2018, the rights were transferred to Hasbro as part of the acquisition of the Power Rangers brand.

Mairghread Scott is an executive producer/showrunner and an animation and comic book writer. She got her writing start on Transformers: Prime and her animated work includes Dragon Age: Absolution, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, and Star Wars: Resistance. Her comics work ranges from Batgirl to Transformers and several original titles. Her latest graphic novel series is a trilogy titled Sea Serpent's Heir, drawn by Pablo Tunica and published by Skybound Comet, with Book Three, Queen of Mercy, out now.

Boom! Studios is a graphic novel publishing subsidiary of Penguin Random House since September 2024. The publisher was founded by Ross Richie and Andrew Cosby in 2005. Boom Studios acquired the license for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in June 2015 and released a monthly comic starting in January 2016.
