Explosive publisher BOOM! Studios and IDW Publishing are teaming up to produce a new crossover comic between the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, just in time for the holidays! Written by Ryan Parrott with art by Simone di Meo, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 is set to hit stores in December, the first of a five-issue mini-series.

The premise:

The Power Rangers arrive in New York City to find Tommy Oliver – AKA The Mighty Morphin Green Ranger – but soon discover he's joined forces with the villainous Shredder and the Foot Clan! As the Rangers are sent reeling by this betrayal, they're confronted by another (fr)enemy – the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Can these heroes find a way to work together to defeat the bad guys and save the world from total destruction?!

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS/TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #1 (OF 5) features a main cover by Dan Mora (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once & Future), with Turtle Ranger Helmet variant covers by Goñi Montes (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and more!

Said Parrott:

Honestly, I'm pretty certain keeping this project a secret has taken years off my life. These two iconic franchises were my TV parents, each teaching me valuable life lessons thirty minutes at a time. The Power Rangers and the Ninja Turtles are too insanely awesome not to bring together. I mean, they're both color-coded teenage martial artists who fight monsters! It just makes too much sense! A huge thank you to Hasbro and Nickelodeon for letting me play with so many of their wonderful toys, as it is truly an honor to be a part of such an exciting crossover. I'm the luckiest kid in the world, and I cannot wait for you all to see what we've been putting together.

Simone di Meo added:

It's an honor to be able to work on this amazing project. I'm very happy to be a part of this, one of the crossovers I've been waiting for since I was a kid. Drawing these two teams together is a dream come true!

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 hits stores on December 4th.
