For the first time, fans can check out the designs of BOOM! Studios’ Solar Rangers – as seen in the comic book publisher’s Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers series!
Six Solar Rangers debut in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #39, which releases in May 2019. And their designs are based off the six Power Rangers who have been featured in the Power Rangers: Beyond The Grid storyline that has been running for the past eight months.
The six Rangers include Power Rangers Zeo‘s Yellow Ranger, Power Rangers In Space‘s, Red Ranger, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy‘s Magna Defender, Power Rangers Ninja Storm‘s Green Ranger, Power Rangers Dino Charge‘s Dark Ranger, and the Ranger Slayer from BOOM! Studios’ comic books.
Together, these six Rangers tap into the power of the mighty Solarix to morph into Solar Rangers – complete with new weapons, and Zords!
Fans can check out all six Solar Ranger designs below.
Tanya wields an upgraded pair of nunchuks with blades at both ends. Andros now wields a sword instead of his spiral saber. Mike the Magna Defender also wields a blade, with a gun feature attached to the sword’s base. Heckyl wields an electric boomerang. Kimberly wields and upgraded bow complete with energy enforcement. And Cam will continue to wield a ninja sword.
The issue in which the Solar Rangers debut will conclude the Power Rangers: Beyond The Grid storyline.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #39 will be the final issue before Ryan Parrott takes over the series with Power Rangers: Necessary Evil, the newest storyline.
Power Rangers: Necessary Evil will bring back the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team of Jason, Billy, Zack, Trini, Kimberly, and Tommy – and revolve around the fallout of Power Rangers: Shattered Grid. Plus, the White Ranger will make his long awaited comic book series debut!
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #39 will be written by writer Margurite Bennett, and designed by artist Simone De Meo.
The post-SHATTERED GRID storyline, titled “Beyond The Grid”, follows a new team of Rangers – Andros (Red Ranger, Power Rangers In Space), Mike (Magna Defender, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy), Tanya (Yellow Ranger, Power Rangers Zeo), Cam (Green Ranger, Power Rangers Ninja Storm), Ranger Slayer, and the mysterious Talon Ranger (now named the Dark Ranger) from Power Rangers Dino Charge.

I love these designs but I think the weapons could be a little better but maybe they will look better fully realised in the comics. Looking forward to this issue in the comics. Hope this isn’t the last time we see the Solar Rangers.
What is a Solar Ranger?
A new Ranger unique to the comics
I gotta say, if Russell Lawrence (who played Michael Corbett aka Magna Defender the auxiliary ranger in PRLG), which I respectfully called him “R-LAW” many years ago, had came back to play Michael Corbett as a guest appearance once again, then it would be so cool to see him dress up as the new Black Solar Ranger sometimes in the future friendly studio superhero family show (like in the kyuranger adaptation – PR STARFORCE).
