Forty years ago today, on May 17, 1978, Tokyo Channel 12 aired the very first episode of a Marvel TV legend: Toei’s wonderfully weird Spider-Man. Forty years on, its legacy remains in some pretty bizarre ways, but we mostly remember it for giving us a take on the webslinger that’s unlike anything we’ve seen since.

For the past few years, Shout Factory has been releasing English-subtitled series of Super Sentai, the Japanese shows that get turned into Power Rangers. But for the first time, they’re bringing over a series from before Power Rangers existed—and it’s the show that without which the gigantic, color-coded superhero…

In all of Power Rangers, which Red Ranger is the greatest, the most heroic, the best leader? Well, it’s this one, played by a statue. He’s perfect.

Earlier this year, Saban Brands made the surprise announcement that Hasbro was taking over the merchandising license for the Power Rangers franchise in western markets, but as it turns out, that was only the beginning. Today, Hasbro announced that it has agreed to purchase the rights to the entire Power Rangers…

Specifically, moms with transforming spandex supersuits.

RIP My productivity, 1991-2018. Cause of death? So many good gifs.

Boom Studio’s first major event for its Power Rangers comic, Shattered Grid, has been promising to unite 25 years worth of Ranger teams into one big adventure. That said, it seems not every Ranger team will be making it to that team-up in one piece. Or many pieces, really.

Next week, Boom Studios’ Power Rangers comics are uniting Rangers from across 25 years of dramatically flipping away from giant pyrotechnics for the line’s first major crossover event. To celebrate, the original Green Ranger himself has donned the spandex once more... but not to play the Tommy Oliver you remember.

When you think of a superhero—not a specific character, just the idea of a superhero—chances are he or she is wearing a cape. Capes are one of, if not the, most iconic pieces of superhero iconography around. That is, unless you look at the glut of live-action superheroes we have on TV and film right now, where there…

In the 25 years since Power Rangers first began, it’s only skipped adapting the current Super Sentai series three times. Now, for its 2019 season, Power Rangers is going back and bringing one of them to western audiences: Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.

Whenever you think about Power Rangers, chances are you think about the American adaptation of the Japanese live-action kids series Super Sentai, a show about brightly colored spandex superheroes dramatically flipping away from pyrotechnics. But the toys based on the various TV series are just as important to the…

They’ve battled on alternate worlds, explored their earliest days as Teens with Attitude, and even fought the Justice League, but the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers’ next major comic adventure is an anniversary spectacular: one where 25 years of rangers unite to face a threat against them all.

Comic book events often rely on a narrowly defined idea of “edgy coolness” to convey a sense of import to the story they’re trying to tell. It’s not enough that the world’s ending—everything’s gotta be gritty and dark. But DC and Boom Studios’ Justice League/Power Rangers crossover is fueled by something else: the…

Anyone who sat through Power Rangers’ credits long enough earlier this year saw the tiny mid-credit scene that teased the only logical next step for the franchise’s sequels: the introduction of Tommy Oliver, future Green Ranger. But according to screenwriter John Gatin, the scene was originally very different.

If you thought the teens with attitude from Angel Grove were the first Power Rangers, Boom Studio’s excellent ongoing comic series is about to change all that, with the revelation of the original group: a groovy team of Rangers from the swinging ‘60s.

Before the Power Rangers reboot hit theaters a few months, Lionsgate talked a big game about having long-term plans for the movie franchise. Those plans might have to be shelved now, though, thanks to a disastrous box office performance in China this past weekend.

The costume designs and Zords we got in this year’s Power Rangers movie already looked pretty out there compared to the classic looks of the original show. But according to this movie concept art from Mauricio Ruiz, the suits and mech designs could’ve looked even more alien than what we eventually got.

Boom Studios already has an excellent Power Rangers comic—but now it’s getting a companion series that is set in the earliest days of the teens with attitudes’ ranger careers. And while there’ll still be some action, it’s mainly focused on their lives outside of all that color-coordinated spandex.

Poor Jason David Frank. There is maybe no other person on this Earth—except maybe Haim Saban—who is as passionate about Power Rangers as the man behind Tommy Oliver himself. Turns out, Frank is so proud of the series and his role in it, it got him into a tussle with security officers during the new movie’s premiere.

Lego master builder ckb ckd needs to submit this meticulously detailed transforming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Megazord set to Lego Ideas, so the rest of us can vote to have the toymaker turn it into a real set we can one day spend lots of real money on.
