Photos of My Los Angeles Power Rangers Comic Book Signings

My newest release, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Halloween Special, dropped in late October and I visited some of my favorite comic shops here in SoCal to sign comics and meet MMPR fans.

Let's go in reverse order because why not! Here I am at Things from Another World at Universal CityWalk on Oct 30th with Rosie Knight:

The weekend before that, I was at Nostalgic Comic Shop on Oct 25th with Nicole Goux, Sina Grace, and Meghan Camarena:

Big thanks to these amazing comic book retailers, as well as our wonderful friends who showed up to support us. I'm looking forward to working on more Power Rangers down the line because they're fun to write. Bold colors, wild monsters, and big robots!

"Candy Cornered," my spoopy Trini Kwan story with artist Juan Romera and letterer Ed Dukeshire, is out now from BOOM! Studios in the first ever Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Halloween Special.

The first review of our Halloween anthology comic is already in and Collier Jennings from AIPT had this to say:

Candy Cornered by Nick Marino and Juan Romera takes things a step further when Rita Repulsa enchants the candy corn that the Rangers are eating on Halloween Eve, literally turning them into popcorn. If that wasn't ridiculous enough, Romera designs a new villain named Colonel Maize, who is a walking corn cob, and you'd better believe Marino brings the corn puns. It's utterly ridiculous, but also entertaining.

And the first fanart of Colonel Maize is already here too! My pal Loch Ness posted this gorgeous teaser to his IG story:

Here's some stuff I've been writing for Den of Geek, The Beat, and The Comics Courier

Lately I've been working with a few of my favorite outlets, including my newest article, a historical recap and review of Albert Pyun's recently discovered director's cut of Captain America for The Beat.

Earlier this year I delved into one of my deepest passions for The Comics Courier, writing about the bizarre circumstances that led to Marvel's collaboration with the Florida Department of Citrus, resulting in the reimagining of Captain Citrus.

Two recent collaborations with Den of Geek produced a pair of bucket list interviews for me. I profiled the composers and creators of Avatar for the Avatar: The Last Airbender 20th Anniversary Special Edition magazine, made in collaboration with Nickelodeon for San Diego Comic-Con 2025.

And, finally, it's not something I wrote but I did an on-camera interview with Todd McFarlane at SDCC, digging into his comic book creation process (many Spawn comics are still made Marvel style!) and his publishing philosophy.
