Lord Drakkon—a twisted alternate-reality version of Tommy Oliver (AKA the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger)—and his newly reformed army are crossing dimensions in order to execute an all-out attack that threatens the very existence of every Power Ranger ever. For the first time in comic book history, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will join forces with some of the most popular Power Rangers teams in the franchise from across time and space to face the ultimate threat...one that will mean the death of a Ranger!

TWO ISSUES, TWO CHARACTER PERSPECTIVES, ONE SHARED SCENE
Go Go Power Rangers #11, released 7/4/18, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #29, released 7/18/18, shared a scene between the Ranger Slayer, a dark version of MMPR Pink Ranger Kimberly Hart, and Lord Drakkon, from each of their perspectives. Aside from generally editing, one of Michael's explicit responsibilities was to ensure the scenes matched perfectly in dialogue upon print.
MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #25 EVERY RANGER EVER VARIANT BY SCOTT KOBLISH
One variant for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25, which kicked off the Shattered Grid event, saw Scott Koblish, with colorist Alex Guimarães, render every Power Ranger ever. Although we did not break Scott's Deadpool #27 cover, which had 232 characters, it was still a herculean task with the brand notes. Michael compiled the list of every ranger, gathered reference materials, and art directed Scott through the approvals process with Saban.
