News: original Ranger Rosa is writing new ‘Power Rangers’ comics

This month, a great tribute is coming for “Power Rangers” fans! On the 19th, Netflix will make available a special celebrating 30 years of the “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” series.

However, unfortunately, we will only have Walter Emanuel Jones and David Yost from the original cast, being the Black Ranger (Zack) and the Blue Ranger (Billy), respectively. The other rangers will be played by other actors.

This raised the question from many fans: where are the original rangers? Well, it’s been 30 years since these actors played their characters and since then, a lot has happened.

Last year, for example, we had the sad news about the death of Jason David Frank, the Green Ranger, and later White from the original saga. In addition to him, there was the death of Thuy Trang, who played the Yellow Ranger, but her death occurred in 2001.

But what about the Pink and Red Ranger? Actors Amy Jo Johnson and Austin St. John chose not to participate in the special made by Netflix. Furthermore, Jason, who was alive at the time of casting, had already turned down the role.

However, we must remember that whatever their reasons for refusing to play the roles again, the actors continue to love the saga in which they participated. In fact, Amy Jo Johnson is bringing news to the saga.

Eternal Pink Ranger will write HQ for the series

Amy Jo Johnson, despite having refused to participate in the special, continued to dedicate her love to the successful franchise, but now as a writer. The actress will form a partnership with the publisher Boom Studios to produce a new series of comics in the saga.

The project had popular support through Kickstarter to create “Power Rangers: A 30th Anniversary Comic Book Celebration”.

In about 24 hours, the project raised a total of more than US$250,000. According to Johnson, the series will not be the same as the original. After all, “it’s my version”, he said in an interview with Variety.

According to the actress, this is the first time she has seen episodes of the original series. She is watching the episodes in preparation for creating her version of the “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.”

According to Amy Jo Johnson:

“This is my thanks, this is my love letter to the fans. It’s amazing to have these children who are now adults supporting me through all the changes [da minha carreira].”

Therefore, in addition to the Netflix special, fans of the original franchise, now adults, as Amy highlights, will have another new and pleasant tribute.
