Last week, Bleeding Cool identified that Power Rangers Unlimited: Death Ranger #1 had bought out and gone to a second printing. Clearly, Boom Studios not printing sufficient copies. But there may be kind right here.
Boom Studios has a protracted historical past of introducing new characters to Power Rangers, which catch maintain with followers and find yourself showing in motion figures, video video games, board video games, and different elements of the franchise. Lord Drakkon, the Omega Rangers, Ranger Slayer, and the mashups of the unique Rangers with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are only a few of the characters that originated within the Boom comedian books.
Well, early indicators level to their newest addition to the Rangerverse – the Death Ranger – becoming a member of this rarified air. Bleeding Cool beforehand reported on the announcement of the brand new non-binary character capturing the imaginations (and thirst) on-line. Now, the character’s standalone $7.99 particular, Power Rangers Unlimited: Death Ranger #1, has bought out the week of on-sale and Boom is speeding again to a second printing with a brand new character design cowl by artist Dan Mora.
Not solely is the difficulty bought out, however it’s already making waves within the aftermarket with Covrprice.com placing it on their Weekly Top 10 checklist alongside Image’s hit collection, Eight Billion Genies. The collector website stories “11 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 156%, with a high sale of $85 for a raw copy and a near mint, fair market value of $52” of the 1-in-25 full artwork incentive variant by Derrick Chew. We discovered bought copies on eBay starting from $40 to $60 with the excessive sale at $85 as properly.
Meanwhile, copies of the open-to-order principal cowl are promoting at 50% above as much as double cowl value. And the 616 Comics retailer unique by John Giang is fetching $25 persistently.
And whereas Power Rangers Unlimited: Death Ranger #1 is the primary full cowl look, it isn’t as a result of that is the primary look of Death Ranger… that occurred in the primary Power Rangers collection with a primary cameo look in difficulty #21 and a primary full look in #22. Both of those key points are nonetheless out there on the aftermarket for simply above cowl value, however seemingly not for lengthy as Death Ranger rises to prominence. And whereas Power Rangers Unlimited: Death Ranger by Paul Allor, Kath Lobo, and Anna “Kekovsky” Chandra is the primary devoted story exploring the mysterious new character’s origin and revealing the unique Omega Rangers, what is likely to be driving the thrill round this difficulty is the primary look of one other character – Sister Supernova.
Sister Supernova has been described as a “devourer of worlds”, or to place it merely – she’s the Rangerverse model of Galactus. And extra importantly, it is her actions within the difficulty that find yourself inflicting the creation of the Death Ranger, who as we perceive it, will play a serious position on this month’s milestone Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #100. Expect that this Death Ranger warmth will carry over and construct as tremendous Power Ranger followers chase these X-Force #1-style collectible buying and selling playing cards. We predict one other Power Rangers sell-out announcement on the finish of the month.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #100, doubles as longtime Ranger author Ryan Parrott’s remaining double-sized difficulty can be transport with 10 restricted version buying and selling playing cards and a print that includes Dan Mora‘s principal cowl, inserted in the course of every copy of the open-to-order covers.
As a part of Parrott’s swan tune, Bleeding Cool additionally understands {that a} Ranger will go away the group and a brand new Ranger will make a primary look on this difficulty. Your guess is pretty much as good as mine as to who these Rangers are. But Ranger first appearances and adjustments to the established order have labored out fairly properly up to now with fashionable characters like Lord Drakkon, Ranger Slayer, the Omega Rangers, and fairly just a few others which have made their method into motion figures, video video games, and extra so this looks as if an honest guess. Plus it is precisely the form of factor you do to arrange that new “recharged” period that Boom began teasing at San Diego Comic-Con.
Not solely does the milestone difficulty brings again artists from the final 100 points, however Boom is bringing again 90s nostalgia of a special type…
Because every of the open-to-order covers of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #100 will ship polybagged with one among ten buying and selling playing cards that includes the preferred Rangers on them. The artwork by Kris Anka is a transparent homage to Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza‘s X-Force #1. The playing cards are evenly intermixed identical to they had been again in 1991, which means if you would like a whole set of buying and selling playing cards you will want to select up 10 copies… or 11 if you would like a replica to learn. And identical to X-Force #1, the playing cards will embrace two “rookie” playing cards for Ranger Slayer and Lord Drakkon – so-called as a result of the 2 characters have by no means appeared on a buying and selling card earlier than. As we reported final 12 months, the Deadpool “rookie” buying and selling card from 1991 is a extremely sought-after collectible.
That being mentioned, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #100 differs from X-Force #1 as a result of every polybagged comedian may also include an unique artwork print by Once & Future‘s Dan Mora… properly, that and the very fact it has twice as many buying and selling playing cards to gather.
And that is earlier than you get to the inducement covers, which embrace cowl artists like Mike Del Mundo, Tyler Kirkham, and InHyuk Lee… the latter two that includes depictions of the pink scorching nonbinary Death Ranger.
Issue #100 can be the ultimate chapter of longtime Power Rangers architect Ryan Parrott‘s story earlier than the collection will get a brand new inventive staff within the type of Melissa Flores, whose Dead Lucky launched from Image this week, and longtime Firefly artist Simona di Gianfelice. But Ranger followers will reunite with Parrott when he groups up with Mora on the a lot anticipated Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II in December.
And with Boom saying at Diamond’s Retailer Appreciate Lunch at Comic-Con that the Charge to 100 has been inflicting every subsequent difficulty of Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers to extend, together with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to development on Twitter a number of occasions over the Comic-Con weekend.
We’ll know quickly sufficient.
