What if Bruce Wayne failed in his battle to reclaim the mantle of the bat from his mad successor, Jean-Paul Valley? That's the question that the first Tales from the Dark Multiverse comics answers in grim fashion.

To celebrate the enduring legacy of the Power Rangers, Boom! Studios is kicking off the year with Shattered Grid. It’s the first Power Rangers event for the series since the publisher started pushing out monthly issues of the superb series written by Kyle Higgins and drawn by talented artists such as Hendry Prasetya and Daniele Di Nicoulo, which opens with tragedy.

Buckle up true believers, because Zordon’s finest warriors are about to meet their match and then some, when a mysterious new Ranger unleashes the Ranger Slayer, in this first look at the beast in this cover from Saban's Go Go Power Rangers #10.

Five teenagers with attitude, able to command a fleet of mechanical Zords that happen to be able to combine into an even bigger weapon of monster-punching destruction, what could possibly stop them?

If you’re a teeny bit upset that the odds of a Power Rangers movie sequel are non-existent at this point, then worry not because the current crop of comics from Boom Studios is a pitch-perfect continuation of that franchise.
