Mistress Vile has won, or so it seems, with control of the Grid and Dark Specter’s infections spreading through the universe! The Rangers are presented with the impossible choice of saving either their friend or the universe against Dark Specter and find themselves separated and stranded until they receive help from the last team they’d expect, but not be the help they were hoping for.
In the tradition of Shattered Grid and perfectly timed with the 30th anniversary writer Melissa Flores and Simona Di Gianfelice kick off the event they’ve been building toward for the last year that will forever change the universe.
Fans wouldn’t be caught dead missing out on the debut of Björn Barends’ Dark Grid Variant Covers–the most twisted threats the Rangers have ever seen brought to life.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #111 features main cover art by star artist Taurin Clarke (Miles Morales: Spider-Man) and variant covers by acclaimed illustrators Björn Barends (Spawn), Goñi Montes (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), Keyla Valerio (Power Rangers Unlimited), Ariel Olivetti (BRZRKR), and Tyler Kirkham (Invincible).

Celebrating 30 continuous years on the air, Power Rangers has become one of the longest-running kids’ live-action series in television history, with more than 900 episodes aired to date. Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the series celebrates its 30th year with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always, an anniversary special streaming exclusively on Netflix. The 30th overall season, Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury, premieres Fall 2023 exclusively on Netflix.
The introduction of Lord Zedd as a Ranger has invoked a huge moment in the history of the franchise. With such an iconic villain tapping into the Morphin Grid, it’s clear how significant the upcoming fight will be to stop Empress Vile. The Zord fights shown in the preview pages continue the prelude issue perfectly as Lord Zedd unleashes his Serpentera Zord, leaving the Rangers confused. It will be exciting to finally see the Drakkon Rangers and Hyperforce Ranger join the fight, as their one-shot comics teased their integration into the event. For now, fans are eager to see what horrors will play out as the Darkest Hour has only just begun.
