VR Troopers #1 launches — a fresh reboot for the virtual hero squad

Thirty years after the original TV run, Boom Entertainment revives the VR Troopers with a brand‑new comic debut. Writer Mairghread Scott and artist Sebastián Píriz bring a modern edge to the elite Eltarian heroes, promising a story that pulls the familiar into uncharted virtual territory.

The latest issue marks the first VR Troopers comic in three decades, emerging from the world built by Power Rangers Prime. This launch is positioned as the perfect entry point for longtime fans and newcomers alike, offering a contemporary spin on the virtual‑reality‑infused action that defined the ’90s series.

In this opening chapter, the team known as the VR Troopers—human champions hand‑picked by the alien Eltarian empire—protect Earth while carrying hidden agendas. When VR Ryan pursues a renegade Skug, he encounters an adversary whose revelation forces him to reassess both the mission of the Troopers and his own identity.

The creative team adds weight to the debut. Mairghread Scott’s writing blends mystery with high‑octane combat, while Sebastián Píriz delivers crisp, kinetic panels that capture the digital aesthetic of the franchise. The cover, illustrated by Taurin Clarke, hints at the story’s darker twists, making it a standout addition to any shelf.

If the premise intrigues you, you might also enjoy revisiting the source material that inspired this comic: the original Power Rangers Prime series, which laid the groundwork for the Troopers’ world. Both properties share a love of teamwork and virtual threats, offering a satisfying crossover of tone and lore. Grab the issue, and let the adventure reboot your nostalgia.
