However, despite announcements for New Crusaders: Dark Tomorrow and Lost Crusade creative teams,. the incoming Red Circle editor Alex Segura mentioned "[I] have a great fondness for New Crusaders and the stuff that book aimed to do" in a March 2014 interview but that Red Circle (later rebranded Dark Circle) would be taking a new path: "These won’t be all-ages superhero books that we hope will appeal to older readers. As much as I love New Crusaders, it won’t be a direct follow-up to that. If you want an idea of what we’re shooting for, Afterlife with Archie is your best example. We see the Red Circle expansion as a continuation of the success of Afterlife." Dark Circle's Crusaders Dark Circle comics started a new run in December 2017 featuring the new Shield (Victoria Adams) , Steel Sterling, Firefly, Darkling, The Comet and Jaguar.
