IDW Publishing in partnership with Toho International, Inc and BOOM! Studios has announced Godzilla Vs. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers II. That’s right, the Power Rangers will once again be battling Godzilla! Right now, Godzilla is trending thanks to Toho’s recently released awesome movie Godzilla Minus One, and IDW is looking to cash in on that popularity with the release of this new sequel comic.
In the story, “The evil Rita Repulsa joins forces with mysterious new allies Astronema and the Alliance of Evil to cause a whole new level of chaos. This action-packed cosmic crossover will also feature familiar foes like SpaceGodzilla, Clawhammer, Tentacreep, and more.”
The sequel to the previous series is written by Cullen Bunn with art by Baldemar Rivas. Bunn promises this is a crossover that fans of both franchises cannot miss because it will not only deliver fan service but also some kaiju-sized surprises as well. He said:
“If I was going to pit Godzilla against the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers again, I knew I needed to do something huge. Mayhem alone was not enough! And, believe me, what we’re doing in this new series is something wild and unexpected and game-changing! If you’re a Rangers fan… if you’re a Godzilla fan… if you’re a fan of bonkers fun… buckle up! This series is going to knock you off your feet!”
Rivas went on to say that Bunn’s ideas for this sequel immediately sold him on bringing the script to life with his art: “Once Cullen told me what he was thinking about doing for Godzilla vs Power Rangers, I knew I had to do it.”
The comic will have colors by Andrew Dalhouse and letters by Johanna Guzman. The debut issue will feature a Cover A by Freddie Williams and Dalhouse, Cover B by Alex Sanchez and Matt Herms, and a RI cover by Hendry Prasetya and Dalhouse.
Godzilla Vs. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers II #1 goes on sale April 3, 2024.
