Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #117 Preview – Darkest Hour Continues

Darkest Hour ended its halfway point with the Power Rangers placed in a tough corner. One of the biggest developments was the death of Lord Drakkon that led to the Ranger Slayer being brought back to normal after being under Dark Specter’s influence. With a major player off the table what’s next for Darkest Hour? BOOM! Studios is giving us a hint of that with a preview of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #117 releasing on February 28th.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #117 will be the seventh chapter of Darkest Hour by Melissa Flores, artists Simona Di Gianfelice and Marco Renna, colorists Raúl Angulo and Jose Enrique Fernández, and letterer Ed Dukeshire. In addition the main cover will be handled by Taurin Clarke with variant covers by Björn Barends, Goñi Montes, and the first of three connecting covers by Michael Walsh.

The solicitation for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #117 teases the following:

Things are desperate as the Dark Specter steps up an attack, with Rangers from different universes and civilians alike teaming up to keep the carnage at bay, but some special objects may be the key to keeping the planet safe… even if it won’t last for long. As Billy, Dr. Kendall Morgan, and the Phantom Ranger rush to repair the Master Arch, they’re only able to pull a single ally from the heart of the Morphin Grid as Dark Specter’s power grows…

As you’ll see in the preview below Dark Specter is going to be using the Mophin Grid energy-infused magic staff Mistress Vile gave him. This looks like it is helping him corrupt the Alien Rangers of Aquitar and further his mission to takeover the Power Rangers Multiverse. Though there is some clear tension between Dark Specter and Mistress Vile that is something to keep watch on during the second half of Darkest Hour.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #117 will be available in comic book shops and digital store fronts on February 28, 2024. You can learn more from BOOM! Studios press release below.
