BOOM! Studios‘ description of Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour #1 reads, “It all ends here! With the Morphin Grid in peril, the people of Earth are left without the Power Rangers to protect them. The ultimate battle against Dark Specter will play out with unexpected consequences, while an unlikely group of rogues, villains, and Rangers make strange company. But even if they win, can they rebuild everything they’ve lost?”
Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour #1 scribe Flores discussed bringing down the curtain on the series, “After nearly two years, the Darkest Hour comes to a close. This event has been one of the biggest tasks of my career, but I’ve enjoyed every single, heart-wrenching minute,” she said. “Although I put our poor Rangers through the wringer, I hope the ending is as satisfying for the reader as it was for me to write it,” Flores added.

Get ready to dive into this final chapter of Darkest Hour! GO GO!”
