THE DEFENDERS ON TRIAL! Mongo is a shattered empire -- and it's at least partly Flash Gordon's fault. The Defenders of the Earth may have saved their home planet, but Mongo paid a hefty price for Ming the Merciless's games. Now the toll's come due -- and it's the Defenders who will pay it. And while the Defenders face their former friends and allies, their offspring face challenges of their own. Determined to find his missing mother, Dale, Rick Gordon and his friends K'Shin, Zuffy, LJ, and Jedda investigate a former secret base held by the son of Ming. Kro-Tan may be gone, but the danger is not. A fan-favorite villain goes after the Second Gen Defenders! Writer Dan DiDio and artist Alex Sanchez pick up the beloved characters from the classic animated series and spin a whole new adventure!

To the world's population, Kro-tan's arrival was a godsend. Mongo's technology was a quick cure for a ravaged Earth, and people were eager for any new technology he provided. However, as his influence spread, so did his desire to recreate Earth in Mongo's image for him to rule. Dependence on Kro-Tan's technologies made people compliant and easy to subjugate. Some even welcomed it. Those who didn't disappeared, and by the time our heroes noticed, it was too late. The world is divided, and the Defenders of the Earth are the only heroes who can bring it back together. The thrilling conclusion to the mini-series event!

Flash Gordon, The Phantom, Mandrake the Magician and Lothar are united again in this reimagining of the classic animated series, Defenders of the Earth.
