Godzilla vs. The Mighty Morphin Powers Rangers:
The Comic Book Crossover We Never Knew We Needed

Oh no! There goes Angel Grove!

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers have dealt with every giant monster in Rita Rep
ulsa's almost bottomless arsenal, but they've never proven their mettle against
the true king of the monsters. That's finally going to change in 2022, as the Ra
ngers declare war on Godzilla himself.

That's the premise behind Godzilla vs. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, an upco
ming comic book crossover between IDW Publishing and BOOM! Studios. This five-is
sue series will explore what happens when Rita and her teenage nemeses cross ove
r into the Godzilla universe.

Godzilla vs. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is written by Godzilla: Cataclysm'
s Cullen Bunn, with art by Freddie E. Williams II (whose previous crossover work
 includes Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and He-Man/Thundercats) and colors
 by Andrew Dalhouse. Here's the official plot summary:

When Rita Repulsa uses an ancient artifact to transport herself to a universe wi
thout Power Rangers, she finds herself in a world with aliens, kaiju, and… Godz
illa! Hoping to annihilate this new foe, Rita hurls her own terrible creatures i
nto battle. But she never expects that the Rangers have followed her to this alt
ernate reality, pitting the Dinozords themselves head-to-head with the King of t
he Monsters!

Based on the cover art, the series looks to take place fairly early in the Power
 Rangers timeline, when Tommy is still serving as the Green Ranger. The variant
cover below suggests Godzilla's throw-down with the Dragonzord will be one of th
e pivotal matchups in the series. Though if we've learned anything about crossov
ers over the years, eventually the Rangers and Godzilla will put aside their dif
ferences to confront a common, pointy hat-wearing foe.

“I am honored to bring two iconic franchises like Godzilla and the Power Ranger
s together. I've been a massive Godzilla fan since before I could read, and my l
ove for the King of Monsters has never faded in all those years. Likewise, I've
always loved Tokusatsu superheroics, and vividly remember watching the first epi
sode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers when it came out. This is a crossover that
I suspect will take readers by surprise—but it makes complete sense!” said Bun
n in a press release. “Writing for these characters is a dream come true for th
is giant monster-loving kid-at-heart, and when readers pick up this book, I want
 them to feel that sense of awe and wonder that these characters have inspired f
or decades!”

“This will be the biggest, most stratospheric crossover I’ve ever drawn!” sai
d Williams. “It’s the combination of so many big genres: Giant Monsters vs. Me
chs, martial arts vs. science and magic, with lots of collateral destruction! I
’ve been watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episodes and Godzilla films to s
ubmerge my brain space, and have been reminded how fantastic and charming these
designs are and how much fun prior creators had with their designs. I’m excited
 to contribute to the long legacies of these franchises!”

Godzilla vs. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will kick off in March 2022.

In other Power Rangers news, the long-running TV series recently underwent its l
atest evolution in Season 28 with the debut of Power Rangers Dino Fury. We also
know a new series of interconnected Power Rangers shows and movies is in the wor
ks, helmed by I'm Not Okay With This co-creator Jonathan Entwistle.
