Heroes for Hire

I completely forgot to check this out. I'll have to see about getting it next week.

i have to say the issue fealt weak until i got to the last page

Highly enjoyed #2. Baron Brimstone made for a fun and esoteric baddie, and the demonic ordnance was pretty cool. Satana's getting around a lot lately. Paladin seems to be beginning to unravel the Puppet Master mystery. But c'mon recap page, calling PM a "criminal mastermind" is very generous. I can see him calling himself that, but no one else should be.

H4H #2

The sole positive outcome of Shadowland was a new ongoing title by Marvel’s Masters of Sci-Fi, Abnett and Lanning, more collectively known as DnA. The hope is that the dynamic writing duo delivers as much humor and juice into Marvel’s mean streets as it did with underdog Guardians of the Galaxy. Sure, the odds are slim this revamped Heroes For Hire will pack the uncanny banter of Rocket, Cosmo and Starlord; yet as long as these Marvel Knights urge fans to clamor “awesome 90s!” once again, DnA will sure to be pleased.

Ghost Rider. Silver Sable. Elektra. Iron Fist. Moon Knight. These were characters that undoubtedly burned through thousands of readers’ wallets during those times, but can never seem to grasp a hold of today’s audience. What happens when you put them all together with anthology-style missions that collectively aim for an ultimate goal? Well, with this issue I’m not so sure.

Heroes For Hire #2 goes in a different direction this month as Paladin’s intel for “Control” (think DC’s Oracle, but Misty Knight) gets brushed wayside for a Silver Sable solo infiltration. Little does Misty know this forthcoming task contains more occult roadblocks than usual, or does she? With Puppet Master secretly at the helm, these tasks get about as ghastly as they come. And that’s the straw that stirs the drink. While I enjoyed the debut issue a little more, the ongoing providence of Control’s actual whereabouts and, ahem, control is the ultimate intrigue. Besides, Kev Walker scorching out several bad-ass Johnny Blaze panels may be worth the price of admission alone.

3.5/5

I actually enjoyed issue #2 a bit more than the first issue. A couple of things that grated on me a bit from the first didn't worry me so much or were toned down in this issue. And I'm loving Brad Walker's art just as I did on GotG. I'm still on board.

Added to my pull list. Loved issue 2.

#3 was great. Each month I'm looking more forward to the next issue.

And hey, Moon Knight found the freezer-raptor from Jurassic Park!

Loved issue 3.

Definitely good.
