The Shield, Hangman, Inferno and The Web will appear together for the first time in DC's newly announced comic.
"Back when the Red Circle books launched, I said that these characters have such different agendas and personalities that it would take a damn good reason to get them all in a room together," said editor Rachel Gluckstern on DC's blog The Source.
"Well. Intel says the passphrase is 'Crusaders'. But can they defeat the threat they've uncovered? Or will they destroy each other instead?"
The Red Circle characters were originally Archie Comics properties that have recently been bought by DC and integrated into its mainstream continuity.
The Mighty Crusaders Special will be written by Red Circle writers Eric Trautmann, Matt Sturges, Brandon Jerwa and John Rozum with art from Javi Pina (Superman).
It will be released on May 26.
