The comics have provided the best team-up in Power Rangers history, as Boom! Studios' long-running Power Rangers comic book approaches its climax. As part of its dramatic grand finale, the series' producers have gathered a mind-blowing mega-team from throughout the franchise's various iterations.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #118, written by Melissa Flores and illustrated by Simona Di Gianfelice, features what could be the ultimate franchise team-up. This new Rangers army brings together the most famous faces, including some villains, from almost every season of Power Rangers to launch one final assault on Dark Specter. With the series coming to a close and Boom! Studios aiming to offer a fantastic ending to the story, the ultimate mega-team in Rangers history continues to develop in ways never seen before in the franchise. Multi-Ranger crossovers have been a franchise mainstay since the Aquiator Rangers of Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers joined forces with the Zeo Rangers in Power Rangers Zeo's "Rangers of Two Worlds." That was the franchise's first formal Team-up, and subsequent crossovers have occurred virtually annually since.

It is indeed the "Darkest Hour" for the Power Rangers, as Dark Specter has substantially reduced their numbers by transforming Rangers from all timelines and periods, both past and future, into mindless minions for his Dark Army. The remaining Rangers who have not been infected by Dark Specter include original characters such as the Drakkon Rangers and the Omega Rangers, as well as classic characters such as the Ranger Slayer, Kimberly, Billy, and Tommy from Mighty Morphin, Matthew Cook's new Green Ranger, the Phantom Ranger, Taylor Earnhardt from Wild Force, and Kendall from Dino Charge. On paper, this team is formidable enough, but there is the added caveat that they are joined by their long-time adversaries. The stakes offered by Dark Specter have become so high that Lord Zedd, along with his henchman Baboo, Squatt, and Goldar, has been forced to join the Power Rangers. Furthermore, as Rita Repulsa teases a Mystic Mother redesign, she appears to be on the path to redemption, as she is gradually turning over a new leaf and joining the Rangers.
As if the combined powers of the universe's best Rangers weren't enough, this same team gains even more strength by utilizing Tommy Oliver's Power Coin as a source of power that they can all share. It almost goes without saying that this team, as a whole, is unlike any other in club history. A team like this can only exist in Comic Books, and the Boom! Studios creative staff is maximizing their potential. A squad like this honors the Franchise's most colorful characters in all their Power Rangers grandeur.
