Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink #1A (Boom! Studios 2016)

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink #1A brings Kimberly Hart back into the cockpit for a mission that tests leadership as hard as it tests strength. Retired from the team to chase life as a professional gymnast, Kimberly is pulled back into action when Zordon tasks her with guarding a mountainside where a long-dormant, ancient Zord stirs. For the first time, she steps up to lead her own squad, proving that courage isn’t just about power—it’s about direction, trust, and intention. This issue fuses character-driven storytelling with pulse-pounding action, delivering a bold reimagining of a fan-favorite heroine. The creative team leans into Kimberly’s dual identity—athlete and Ranger—as she dusts off the rust and, crucially, crafts a practical, handmade outfit that reflects her resourcefulness and grit. The result is a story that balances intimate moments of growth with high-stakes spectacle against a rugged, otherworldly backdrop. Key details that make this edition stand out: - 32 pages of vivid, full-color storytelling that captures Kimberly’s athleticism and strategic mindset in motion. - Written by Brendan Fletcher and Kelly Thompson, two veterans who bring sharp characterization, wit, and suspense to the Power Rangers mythos. - Interior art by Daniele Di Nicuolo, whose kinetic panels translate athletic choreography into clear, dynamic action and expressive character beats. - Cover art by Elsa Charretier, offering a bold, evocative image that hints at Kimberly’s resilience and leadership under pressure. - A perfect entry point for new readers who want a fresh take on Pink and for long-time fans seeking deeper development of Kimberly Hart beyond the team dynamics. - A standout entry in the Boom!
