Discover the Shocking Consequences for Kimberly Hart In Her Return To Lord Drakkon\u2019s Universe in August 2020<\/em>
\n<\/p>\n

BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), today announced a brand new three-issue limited series\u00a0POWER RANGERS: DRAKKON NEW DAWN<\/strong>, from writer Anthony Burch (Big Trouble in Little China: Old Man Jack<\/em>) and artist Simone Ragazzoni (Odessa<\/em>). This all-new series, scheduled to arrive in stores August 2020, finds Ranger Slayer – Kimberly Hart, Drakkon’s mightiest warrior – fighting against the deadly secrets of her former master’s legacy.<\/p>\n

After the shocking events of\u00a0Power Rangers: Ranger Slayer #1<\/em>, Kimberly is determined to purge the terrifying hold that Drakkon has had over her world, starting with Deadlock; the prison tower where Drakkon held all those who opposed him. But even the Ranger Slayer has no clue of the true power kept in Deadlock\u2014and what unlocking the doors will set into motion. As Kimberly investigates the worst of Drakkon\u2019s secrets, she sets in motion Drakkon\u2019s final plan\u2014one that will pit her against a fan-favorite Power Rangers villain like you\u2019ve never seen them before!<\/p>\n

Anthony Burch is a comic book, video game, web series, and television writer. He is best known for his work on the\u00a0Borderlands 2<\/em>\u00a0video game from K2 Games and his web series\u00a0Hey Ash, Watcha Playin\u2019?<\/em>\u00a0Burch also co-wrote the comic book series\u00a0Big Trouble in Little China: Old Man Jack\u00a0<\/em>with Jack Carpenter and wrote\u00a0Rocko\u2019s Modern Afterlife\u00a0<\/em>for BOOM! Studios.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m extremely excited to spend time in the Power Rangers universe, especially in the Coinless timeline of Lord Drakkon!\u201d said Burch. \u201cI hope fans are excited about this slightly darker, more apocalyptic tale starring some of our favorite new characters…and maybe a few returning old ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simone Ragazzoni is an artist based in Italy. After attending the Milan Comics School, he collaborated with 7Gold TV channel and Edizioni BD, working as a freelance comic artist and illustrator. Since 2017, Ragazzoni has been a regular artist and colorist on Sergio Bonelli Editore’s sci-fi monthly series\u00a0Odessa<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can’t tell you how excited I am for\u00a0DRAKKON NEW DAWN<\/strong>! When I was a child, watching Power Rangers was the highlight of every Sunday morning so being the one who will bring them to life in this series is a huge honor,\u201d said Ragazzoni. \u201cAction, fights, monsters, heroes in costumes, and an extremely talented team: what else could I ask for?\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, Power Rangers is celebrating 27 continuous years on the air, making it one of the longest running kids\u2019 live-action series in television history with nearly 900 episodes aired to date. Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993 with\u00a0Mighty Morphin Power Rangers<\/em>, the franchise celebrates its milestone anniversary year with the 27th season, \u201cPower Rangers Beast Morphers\u201d currently airing on Saturdays at 8 a.m. (ET\/PT) on Nickelodeon in the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cKimberly must return home to face the fallout from her Ranger Slayer days but even she couldn\u2019t have been prepared for the consequences of digging into Drakkon\u2019s darkest secrets,\u201d said Dafna Pleban, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cIn\u00a0DRAKKON NEW DAWN<\/strong>, Anthony and Simone place our heroine in a situation where she\u2019ll have to face enemies new and old, as well as a heartbreaking choice when confronted with the unthinkable!\u201d<\/p>\n

Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers like comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and Madefire.
