Rampage of the Wrecking Crew!

Yike! From a glance at this power-packed cover, it looks like the Defenders have decided to start this issue without us!



So let's get right to it, shall we?

• The Wrecking Crew has been extorting New York City to the tune of millions of dollars, levelling one building after another with each refusal of the city to comply.
• Richmond Enterprises' C.F.O., Mr. Pennysworth, has alerted his boss, Kyle Richmond (a/k/a Nighthawk), that all of the destroyed buildings were owned by his company. (You'd think Pennysworth would have done that before the first one bit the dust! Jeez!)
• The Crew's latest demand raises both the price tag and the penalty for refusal: $25 million, or see the destruction of the entire city! (Adjusting for inflation, that works out to roughly $127 million today.)
• Nighthawk and his fellow Defender, Dr. Strange, stand vigil at Richmond's remaining building (still under construction), one that Pennysworth has already taken steps to protect.
• Strange and Nighthawk unfortunately come face-to-face with that protection: Luke Cage, Power Man, who jumps to the wrong conclusion and thinks the two costumed strangers are there to destroy the building. Not on his watch, sugar.
• You can guess what happens next.
• Eventually, our heroes convince Cage they're not part of the Crew--but as they begin to talk and compare notes, the real Wrecking Crew strike! Scratch one multi-million-dollar building.
