The first is a series titled Power Rangers Unworthy, and it puts a darker twist on the franchise and a unique spin on the Lord Drakkon Shattered Grid saga. The premise is that a figure known as the First Ranger has reawakened because of Drakkon’s crimes against the grid, and is pretty much throwing out everyone for the bad apples. A team of Rangers has assembled to take him down, and you can check out the full series here.
Another project to take a look at is Crimson Vision Studios’ Rise of the Ninja, which features Brody the Ninja Steel Red Ranger (played by William Shewfelt) traveling the galaxy to learn from other ninjas, including Ninjor. You can check out the full teaser for the project here.
Last but not least is a series titled Life After Power Rangers from Noah Baron, featuring the Green Ranger adapting to normal life after his hero days are done.

Power Rangers HyperForce
Hey, we told you we’d get to them! If you’ve never watched HyperForce, it was a live tabletop experience in conjunction with Hyper RPG. While we haven’t received a second season yet, fans grew to adore the charming cast and the tabletop gameplay every week, which also invited big-name stars from the franchise to join in on the fun. The good news is that you can watch all of these episodes for free on Hyper RPG’s YouTube channel, and you can find the full playlist right here.
You can find the official description for HyperForce below.
“Hyperforce starts out in the year 3016 at the Time Force Academy and features a team of Time Force Ranger cadets that must band together to defeat an ancient evil who is messing with the timestream. Under the leadership of their mentor, Jen Scott (Time Force’s Erin Cahill), the newly minted Rangers will cross both time and space to complete their mission while running into many familiar eras (and faces) along the way.”
Power Rangers Comics
It’s never been a better time to be a Power Rangers fan, and you can credit a big part of that shifting tide to BOOM! Studios. BOOM! launched their Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series during a lull in the franchise, but slowly built up a fanbase with character-rich storytelling and gorgeous visuals. Since that launch we’ve had one of the biggest events ever in Shattered Grid, which has been followed by storylines like Beyond The Grid and most recently Necessary Evil, not to mention Mighty Morphin’s companion series Go Go Power Rangers and the series of one-shots and graphic novels.
Most recently the franchise has grown again to produce Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which you should absolutely give a shot because it’s amazing.
We’ve listed all the series available below, and all of them can be found at your local comic shop, book store, or via ComiXology.
