What would you say to the real-life Pink Ranger if you met her?

I think I would be too stunned to speak! One of my core memories from elementary school is rushing home after the afternoon bell to catch my favorite TV show, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

I remember grabbing the phone as I ran to the couch to call my best friend to watch the newest episode in unison. As I was a young girl at the time I idolized the Pink Ranger and even had a poster of her in my bedroom. If only my parents had bought me the Pink Ranger costume for Halloween! To this day I haven't forgiven them.

I suppose the best way to right their wrong is by attending the 2025 Grand Rapids Comic Con so I can just meet her in person! A post on the event page confirms,

Very happy to announce that Amy Jo Johnson--the original Pink Ranger in "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" as well as roles in "Felicity" and "Flashpoint"--will be at the Grand Rapids Comic-Con on November 14-16!

When I saw the post I literally said, "Oh my gosh!" aloud. Is this the year I finally attend my first Comic Con?

Of course, let's not forget Amy Jo Johnson's other cult classic, Susie Q. The feature regularly played on The Disney Channel but never got a home video release. Lo-Fi versions of the film can still be found on YouTube and trust me-- the movie holds up.

Comic Characters From Michigan

Some are from Marvel, Some are from DC, and some are from their own line, but Michigan has had a healthy host of Comic Characters throughout the years.

Awesome Cosplay from the 2022 Motor City Comic Con

I have never been to a comic con before, but I knew going into it that many people choose to wear very elaborate and detailed costumes and garb of their favorite pop culture icons. Whether it was from a Disney movie, an epic comic book, a live-play Dungeons and Dragons show, or somewhere in between, there were plenty of people who put their talent to use to create some awe-inspiring cosplay looks. Check out some of the awesome cosplay in the gallery below, and get a sneak peek at what it's like to attend a comic con.
