Writer Anthony Burch (“Big Trouble in Little China: Old Man Jack,” Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin’?) and artist Simone Ragazzoni (“Odessa”) are coming together at BOOM! Studios to tell a brand new Drakkon story in a three-part miniseries, “Power Rangers: Drakkon New Dawn.”
Set after the upcoming “Power Rangers: Ranger Slayer” #1, it will see Kimberley, the Ranger Slayer, hunting down her former master Drakkon. An alternate universe version of White Ranger Tommy Oliver who broke bad, Drakkon was ruler of his earth, and served as the main antagonist in the 2016 “Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers” comic, as well as the 2018 crossover event ‘Shattered Grid.’
“I’m extremely excited to spend time in the Power Rangers universe, especially in the Coinless timeline of Lord Drakkon,” said Burch. “I 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.”
“I can’t tell you how excited I am for ‘Drakkon New Dawn,'” continued Ragazzoni. “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. Action, fights, monsters, heroes in costumes, and an extremely talented team: what else could I ask for?”
“Kimberly must return home to face the fallout from her Ranger Slayer days but even she couldn’t have been prepared for the consequences of digging into Drakkon’s darkest secrets,” said Senior Editor at BOOM! Studios, Dafna Pleban. “In ‘Drakkon New Dawn,’ Anthony and Simone place our heroine in a situation where she’ll have to face enemies new and old, as well as a heartbreaking choice when confronted with the unthinkable!”
“Power Rangers: Drakkon New Dawn” #1 releases this August with a secret main cover by Jung Geon Yoon and a foil variant by Goni Montes.
