Power Rangers are set to participate in a bombastic crossover, as per the announcement at the San Diego Comic-Con 2022. The multi-colored Morphin rangers have been a crucial part of pop culture since the 90s era. Throughout the past two decades, we have seen many different iterations of Rangers entertaining the television audience.

In 2017, the Rangers took to the silver screen but received an underwhelming response from the audience as well as critics. However, this did not discourage the community as Rangers are thriving in the comic medium in the hands of Boom! Studios.

The second announcement had fans screaming with joy as the Rangers are set to team up with other nostalgic characters, such as the pizza-loving Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
