JUST BEYOND
GO GO POWER RANGERS ONGOING SERIES
Jason, Kimberly, Zack, Trini, and Billy have just become the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. They’ve also just started high school. Chronicling their formative days as teen heroes, the Rangers will have to balance the responsibilities of growing up with defending the world from the threat of Rita Repulsa. And she has a plan to defeat the Power Rangers. One they’ll never see coming, because it’ll come from one of their own.
GO GO POWER RANGERS features stories between the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers meeting Zordon and facing off against Tommy as Rita Repulsa's Green Ranger.
