A NEW call to action! One man trying to reclaim a world… for a world that might not want him to. One man trying to reclaim his sense of self… while impersonating others. One man trying very hard to become the very thing he's avoided his entire life… CAPTAIN ACTION!

Led by the original Captain Action, the A.C.T.I.O.N. Directorate fought the Red Crawl for decades. The alien threat was thought long vanquished, so no one notices when Earth is conquered. Literally, no one notices it!
