POWER RANGERS: SHATTERED GRID

BOOM! Studios has revealed details and images from two chapters of its Power Rangers: Shattered Grid event in April.

In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #26, from writer Kyle Higgins and artist Daniele di Nicuolo, Lord Drakkon's victory seems assured -- unless the Rangers can find a way to team up with another team of Power Rangers they've never met before.

This issue features a main cover by Jamal Campbell, with variant covers by Jordan Gibson and Carlos Villa.

Even more Power Rangers join the battle in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 2018 Annual #1, from writers Kyle Higgins, Ryan Parrott and more, along with artists Marcus To, Dylan Burnett and others. Featuring teams from across the Power Rangers universe -- Dino Charge, RPM, Time Force, Ninja Steel, Dino Thunder -- the entire fabric of reality is under threat as Drakkon invades.

This issue features a main cover from Dan Mora, along with variant covers by George Caltsoudas and Matt Taylor.

NEW PRINTINGS: Marvel Comics has announced second printings for the two issues of X-Men: Grand Design. Both will have new covers by Ed Piskor and will be in stores on Feb. 14.

"I've been devoting myself to X-Men: Grand Design for about two years and to know that the demand from readers has exceeded what stores have ordered is pretty thrilling," said Piskor. "I'm really glad that the second printing will take care of that demand. If you think we have something special here just wait until summer when you get to see how I fold-in the gold standard stuff with Wolverine, Phoenix, Storm Colossus, Nightcrawler and Kitty Pryde in X-Men: Grand Design, Second Genesis.“
