San Diego Comic-Con was full of surprise appearances, but Power Rangers fans, in particular, got a Mighty Morphin one during the BOOM! Studios panel.

The topic of discussion at the panel happened to be BOOM’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers line of books as well as their partnership with Legacy Wars. All of the sudden a familiar face popped up in Walter E. Jones, otherwise known as Zack Taylor the Black Ranger from Mighty Morphin.
Jones had some fun with the panel and the audience, thanking the creative teams on stage for letting him meet an all time icon.
Jones said, “Thank you @BoomStudios for allowing me to meet Superman!” (via Power Rangers NOW).
Jones is, of course, referring to the BOOM! Studios DC Comics series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Justice League, where the Rangers meet heroes like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and more. The series was delayed until the creative team could catch up, and issue 6 is expected later this year.
The original Black Ranger just crashed the panel!

You can find the description for Power Rangers below.
“Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.”
As part of the 24-year-old global phenomenon and based on the five Rangers from the original TV series, “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,”, the reimagined movie features a modern generation of Rangers including Dacre Montgomery (TV’s “Stranger Things”) as Jason the Red Ranger, Naomi Scott (The 33) as Kimberly the Pink Ranger, RJ Cyler (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) as Billy the Blue Ranger, Ludi Lin (Monster Hunt) as Zack the Black Ranger, and Becky G. (Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising) as Trini the Yellow Ranger, as they attempt to stop the evil and unpredictable Rita Repulsa (played by Elizabeth Banks, The Hunger Games Franchise) from destroying their city…and ultimately the world. Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”) as Zordon, and Bill Hader (Finding Dory) as Alpha 5 train the Rangers to morph and master their powers as a united team.
The Saban’s Power Rangers DVD will include exclusive audio commentary with director Dean Israelite and writer John Gatins, and deleted/alternate/extended scenes and outtakes. Saban’s Power Rangers will be available on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD for the suggested retail price of $42.99, $39.99, and $29.95, respectively
Power Rangers is in stores now.
