It was announced that Godzilla and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will have a crossover in the comics!
Simply titled Godzilla vs. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, this five-issue series will be published by IDW Publishing and BOOM! Studios, the current comic book license holders for Godzilla and Power Rangers respectively. The comic will be written by Cullen Bunn (Godzilla: Cataclysm, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe) and illustrated by Freddie E. Williams II (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-Man/Thundercats).
In the upcoming crossover comic book series, Rita Repulsa uses an ancient artifact to a universe without Power Rangers, she finds herself in a world with aliens, kaiju, and... Godzilla! Hoping to annihilate this new foe, Rita hurls her own terrible creatures into battle. But she never expects that the Rangers have followed her to this alternate reality, pitting the Dinozords themselves head-to-head with the King of the Monsters!

In a press release, Bunn said, "I am honored to bring two iconic franchises like Godzilla and the Power Rangers together. I've been a massive Godzilla fan since before I could read, and my love for the King of Monsters has never faded in all those years. Likewise, I've always loved tokusatsu superheroics, and vividly remember watching the first episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers when it came out. This is a crossover that I suspect will take readers by surprise—but it makes complete sense!"
He added, "Writing for these characters is a dream come true for this giant monster-loving kid-at-heart, and when readers pick up this book, I want them to feel that sense of awe and wonder that these characters have inspired for decades!"
As for his collaborator for the project, Williams stated, "This will be the biggest, most stratospheric crossover I've ever drawn! It's the combination of so many big genres: Giant Monsters vs. Mechs, martial arts vs. science and magic, with lots of collateral destruction! I've been watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episodes and Godzilla films to submerge my brain space, and have been reminded how fantastic and charming these designs are and how much fun prior creators had with their designs. I'm excited to contribute to the long legacies of these franchises!"
