The Power Rangers are used to fighting against Rita Repulsa, but it seems one of her minions is striking out on their own.

In the aftermath of Rita and Lord Drakkon's failed takeover, the Power Rangers find themselves with an unlikely ally in the U.S. Government. Not all is as it seems of course, and the jury is still out on whether they can trust them. In the meantime, though it's time to venture out into an unknown world, ruled over by a surprising villain that the Rangers won't expect.

You can view the preview of the issue in the gallery.

All of this is building towards the next big arc in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #20, which will see a time jump back to the 1960s. It's there that fans will meet the Power Rangers of 1969, who managed to stop an assault on the moon. Thing is, no one remembers who they are.

“We’re incredibly excited to show you a part of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers mythos that hasn’t been explored yet but has definitely helped shape the team as we know it now. With Saban Brands, we have the opportunity to explore this part of the mythos in a new and exciting way, and we can’t wait to show the fans!” said Dafna Pleban, Editor, BOOM! Studios. “If the reveals of Lord Drakkon and the Black Dragon weren’t enough, then strap in—because this is when things get crazy!”

Before fans get there though it's time to explore an unknown region and see if this villain has what it takes to deal with the Rangers. Not only that but as fans saw at the end of the last arc, they weren't the only ones who made it back from the Dark Universe.
