Amy Jo Johnson is writing an official POWER RANGERS comic

BOOM! Studios recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to celebrate 30 years of Power Rangers giving fans a chance to snag some out-of-print comics. That was already pretty exciting news, but after crossing the $250,000 mark in less than 24 hours, fans were in for a much bigger surprise. Amy Jo Johnson (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) is working with the co-writer Matt Hotson to create a new Power Rangers comic series. That’s right, the original Pink Ranger is retelling Power Rangers stories. Speaking about the opportunity, Johnson said:

It’s been decades since I first wore the Pink Ranger suit, which kick-started my career in the entertainment industry. I had no idea the impact this character would have on so many children. I was your friend and you supported my career through all of his twists and turns, and now thirty years later, I’m honored to have the opportunity to thank you by writing this new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic series with Boom! Studios as a love letter to you all!

Sadly we don’t know much about the comic, but more will be revealed later this year. I’m still very excited about it. Another tidbit is that the comic is partly why Johnson won’t be a part of it Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Forever. He told Variety:

There were a lot of different factors that came into play. One of them [being] I was working on other projects and I also have a 14 year old… I stopped acting and concentrated on writing [and] direct almost 10 years ago. I can give you a list of excuses.

It just didn’t even occur to me [to join the reunion] because I was so focused on this comic and telling this story.

Are you excited to read a new Power Rangers story from Johnson’s point of view?
