IDW Publishing and BOOM! Studios have announced that they’re teaming up to bring us an epic crossover next year: the five issue comic book series Godzilla vs. the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will start reaching store shelves in March of 2022!
Written by Cullen Bunn (Godzilla: Cataclysm), with art by Freddie E. Williams II (who previously provided artwork for Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and He-Man/Thundercats crossovers) and colors by Andrew Dalhouse (Teen Titans), Godzilla vs. the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will tell the following story:
When Rita Repulsa uses an ancient artifact to transport herself to a universe without Power Rangers, she finds herself in a world with aliens, kaiju, and… Godzilla! Hoping to annihilate this new foe, Rita hurls her own terrible creatures into battle. But she never expects that the Rangers have followed her to this alternate reality, pitting the Dinozords themselves head-to-head with the King of the Monsters!

Bunn had this to say about the project:
I am honored to bring two iconic franchises like Godzilla and the Power Rangers together. I’ve been a massive Godzilla fan since before I could read, and my love 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 episode 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! Writing for these characters is a dream come true for this 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 for decades!”
Williams added:
This will be the biggest, most stratospheric crossover I’ve ever drawn! It’s the combination of so many big genres: Giant Monsters vs. Mechs, martial arts vs. science and magic, with lots of collateral destruction! I’ve been watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episodes and Godzilla films to submerge 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!”
There will be two covers to choose from when the first issue of Godzilla vs. the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is released, and you can see both of them below. Are you ready to see Godzilla and the Power Rangers throw down?
