Boom Studios have been kicking goals with their Power Rangers comics. Inspired by the classic series, theses comics have been blending nostalgia with heaps of new ideas. This trend will continue in 2018 when the franchise turns 25 with the very first Power Rangers comic book event.
Called Shattered Grid, this massive story will see some of the some of the most popular Power Rangers teams ever team-up to take on a massive threat. What will this threat be? Just the possible destruction of every Power Ranger in existence thanks to an evil Tommy Oliver from an alternate universe!
Comic book crossovers can be confusing. But they don’t have to be! To remove all the confusion, so you can focus on enjoying comics, I’ve created Power Rangers: Shattered Grid Reading Order Checklist. Not only does it give you the best order to enjoy the story, but also other handy details such as release dates, creative teams and more.
Enjoy!
Background Reading
There is not any prescribed background reading in order to understand Power Rangers: Shattered Grid. But, if you can’t get enough of this story I would recommend checking out the previous issues of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers.

Shattered Grid Collected Editions
There are a few ways you can read Shattered Grid in collected formats.
The first way is in the standard collections of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers. These collect their respective issues so you’ll need to bounce between the collections to get the full story:
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Volume 7
Collects: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #25-28
Go Go Power Rangers Volume 3
Collects: Go Go Power Rangers #9-12
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Lost Chronicles Volume 2
Collects: Mighty Morphin 2018 Annual and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Anniversary Special.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Volume 8
Collects: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #29-30 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Shattered Grid Finale
A complete edition has also been published, saving you from jumping between different volumes.

However, keep a look out the trade paperback collection below. It collects much of Shattered Grid, but is missing the Go Go Power Rangers issues.
