As a huge fan of both Power Rangers and TMNT, I have to say the crossovers we’ve gotten lately have been amazing, and this third one is no exception! It’s been so cool seeing these two worlds collide with awesome moments for fans of both series. Now, they’re bringing in a TMNT character that everyone always has strong opinions about, and I’m really excited to see how it plays out!
Penguin Random House has shared a sneak peek at the alternate covers for issue #5 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. One cover shows the villain Zedd looking powerful and intimidating as he fights Leonardo. The other cover features a surprising pairing: the Yellow and Pink Rangers alongside Venus De Milo, a character that’s been controversial with fans since her debut in 1997. You can see both covers and read a description of the issue below.
Don’t miss the thrilling finale of this popular team-up! After facing tough challenges, the Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles need to work together, with some help from a surprising new ally. They’ll have to battle the powerful Super Zedd and a team of evil mutant Rangers. Can our heroes overcome the odds and save the day? This epic conclusion to the celebrated series is brought to you by bestselling author Ryan Parrott, acclaimed artist Vincenzo Federici, and Jodi Nishijima, and is packed with action!
What Is The Connection Between Venus De Milo And The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
To see why adding Venus to the group is significant, we need to look back to 1997. That’s when Saban Entertainment – the creators of Power Rangers – launched a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show called TMNT: The Next Mutation. This series introduced a fifth Turtle, Venus De Milo, and also changed the established backstory of how the Turtles originally came to be.
The updated story shows that five baby turtles were originally exposed to the mutagen, but one was separated from the group and found by a ninja master. After her mentor was killed, she discovered the existence of her four brothers in New York and later found her way back to them.
Although the idea of adding a female Turtle seemed interesting, fans weren’t happy with the changes made to the characters’ backgrounds and the team dynamic. Other adjustments to the Turtles, along with the absence of April O’Neal and Casey Jones, also contributed to the show’s poor reception. However, the addition of Venus received the most criticism, and the series was cancelled after just one season.
Venus reappeared in comics in 2022, and now she’s back for an exciting crossover event. We can’t wait to see how the creative team incorporates her into what’s already looking like a fantastic conclusion to the story.
The fifth issue of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be available in comic book shops on March 18, 2026.
