So this is interesting! Apparently there's a new fan-made comic book crossover between the kid-friendly superhero team POWER RANGERS and the decidedly not kid-friendly (in fact, quite the opposite) Freddy Krueger of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET fame! And it's…not bad? It was written by Stephen Harberwith, with art by Francisco Silva Mauriz, and coloring by James Zark. You can even check out the first three issues for free here, if you were curious.
And here's the official description:
Two worlds. One Nightmare. Power Rangers: A Nightmare on Elm Street is an exclusive comic book project created by adult fans for mature audiences only. Although it wasn’t made for profit, it was made to show how profitable Power Rangers legacy brands can be when targeted to the adult age demographic that grew up with them. We believe there’s untapped potential in the Power Rangers brand that can capture the interest of adult fans beyond simple nostalgic appeal. By juxtaposing the optimism and wholesomeness of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with the horrific yet darkly satirical attitude of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, we hope to give fans a glimpse of that potential.
So what do you guys think? And what's your favorite weird officially-licensed crossover (I'm still partial to ARCHIE VS. PREDATOR)? Either way, sound off below!
