WELCOME TO RED CIRCLE: THE NEW CRUSADERS LAUNCH IN MAY

This May, Archie Comics presents the return of the New Crusaders beginning with the launch of the Red Circle app.

When disaster strikes the town of Red Circle, it’s up to The Shield to lead a new generation of heroes as they come to terms with their legacies. Steel Sterling, the Web, Fly Girl, the Comet, Jaguar, and Fireball all return as a fresh crop of teens take up the mantles of their ancestors.

New Crusaders Editor Paul Kaminski gives ICv2 the inside scoop on the return of the Red Circle heroes. In addition, series writer Ian Flynn (Sonic, Mega Man) spoke with Newsarama, iFanboy, MTV Geek and Multiversity Comics regarding the launch of the highly anticipated series and what this fledgling super hero team will be up against when the first season kicks off May 16 via the Red Circle App.
