The Darkest Hour has had an impact on the entire Power Rangers franchise. We saw that with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #114 showing that members from the Lost Galaxy, Wild Force, Mystic Force, Dino Charge, and SPD teams have been captured and brought from their respective timeline to the present as Dark Specter and Mistress Vile prisoners. Now BOOM! Studios has provided a first look at Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #115 releasing on December 27th to share.
With a creative team of writer Melissa Flores, artist Simona Di Gianfelice, colorists Raúl Angulo and Jose Enrique Fernández, and letterer Ed Dukeshire, the preview for the fifth chapter of Darkest Hour spotlights Tommy Oliver and Mistress Vile. As you’ll see in the preview the history between Tommy and Mistress Vile is tapped into to possibly set-up something bigger for down the line. This meeting and other story developments are teased in the solicitation teaser for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #115:
In something out of a nightmare, Tommy comes face to face with pure evil and watches in horror as the unthinkable happens to his friends… Dark Specter’s power grows and spreads, pitting Zord-against-Zord as the corrupted Rangers battle their loved ones. As Mistress Vile begins to regret what she’s unleashed, two other villains may be the key to the Rangers’ only hope, and the last resort for seeking answers within the Morphin Grid!!
For the main cover of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #115 we got Taurin Clarke, who has become a staple for working on covers for the franchise. Additionally, there will be variant covers by Björn Barends, Goñi Montes, Adam Gorham, and Natacha Bustos also available.
