THE MIGHTY CRUSADERS 1-7 plus SPECIAL #1

As the team is introduced in their first press conference as a government-sponsered super team, they are attacked by the Mechanistas. Later, the Hangman appears to the group as a recently slain senator is revealed to be a shape-shifting alien. Latham then tells the team of a civil war among the Durlans, who've decided to use earth as a battlefield. The Crusaders invade Arvin Halliday's complex for more information, but Halliday escapes just as the building explodes.
