Towards the end of the issue, we see Billy and Kimberly on a vidchat with their friends Jason, Trini, and Zack. The trio has departed for a peace conference just like in the show, making room for Aisha, Adam, and Rocky to join the team. The reception is kind of terrible though as the five friends chat, with Billy even remarking as much.
Jason asks if the new signal is better, but it’s not much of an improvement. Jason then says “yeah, sorry. The reception’s a little spotty…we’re actually pretty far off the grid…”
With that, we see the trio of Jason, Trini, and Zack in a place that is very much not a Peace Summit, and they are wearing brand new Ranger suits to boot. The designs are original courtesy of Daniele Di Nicuolo, and it seems according to a description of a future issue the team is called the Omega Rangers.
This is a pretty amazing spin on the original three actors leaving the show and allows for some fresh blood on the team while also keeping the veteran core in the narrative. We cannot wait to see where this goes, and you can check out the spoiler image above.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #40 is written by Ryan Parrott and drawn by Daniele di Nicuolo with colors by Walter Baiamonte and letters by Ed Dukeshire. You can check out the official description below.
