Power Rangers Comics Reading Order (by Boom! Studios)

It’s morphin’ time! Based on the Japanese franchise Super Sentai, The Power Rangers became a pop-culture phenomenon with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television series that aired on Fox Kids between 1993 and 1998 and, of course, a large line of toys.

The adventures didn’t stop there for the five teenagers with an attitude, as the franchise expanded with other television series, movies, more toys, video games, books, and… Comic books! Since the first release by Hamilton Comics, a spin-off of the television series, several Power Rangers Comics have been published by different publishers, including Marvel Comics, Image, and, since 2016, by Boom Studios!

This line of Power Rangers Comics is based on the television series, telling new stories in a contemporary setting, mixing classic concepts with new ideas. Since the official launch in 2016 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Power Rangers Boomverse has expanded with several spin-offs, crossovers, and relaunch/reboots.

It’s now time to morph into action and discover the comic book adventures of the Power Rangers with our Reading Guide!

The Power Rangers Before Boom Studios: What to read and Watch?

As said earlier, the Power Rangers comics published by Boom Studios are based on the 90s television series but set on a modern setting — meaning our teenagers have smartphones! While it’s better to have some general knowledge about the Power Rangers, this is not an obligation. You can read and enjoy those stories without having watched the television series. With that said, it can be a perfect time to discover or rewatch the complete series.

Also, Boom Studios was not the first publisher for the Power Rangers, as there are comics released starring the superhero team since the nineties. If you want to discover those old stories, Boom Studios has actually reprinted them in two books, available in classic trades and Deluxe Edition:

  • Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Archive, Vol. 1 (also in Deluxe Edition)
    Collects Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Hamilton Comics] Volume 1-2, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Saga #1-3, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Marvel Comics] #1-7, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Ninja Rangers #1-5, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Image Comics] Zeo #1.
  • Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Archive, Vol. 2 (also in Deluxe Edition)
    Collects comics from Valiant, Image and Papercutz such as Power Rangers Zeo Image #1, Power Rangers Turbo #1-2 Power Rangers Super Samurai #1-2, Papercutz Megaforce #1-2, Papercutz MMPR #1-2, Papercutz FCBD 2014, as well as additional Power Rangers activity pages and letters!

Power Rangers in Chronological Order: The Deluxe Edition

Collect all the Power Rangers stories in an oversized, hardcover collection with the Boom Studios Deluxe Edition! For this collection, a simple chronological order is, in a way, recommended, to limit navigating between the two series, the main Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers.
