I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Marvel is launching
a new Heroes for Hire series starring Misty Knight that has some returning characters from previous
H4H series (like Misty's man the Immortal Iron Fist, and the douchebag you love to hate, Paladin), not to mention a few eyebrow-raising surprise players.
After loading her team up with obscure characters during the
Civil War: Heroes for Hire
mini, I guess Marvel decided it was time to give Misty an All-Star team to play with! I was shocked to see Elektra and the Punisher running alongside Moon Knight and Iron Fist, but they are clearly trying for the same vibe that makes books like
Thunderbolts work.
Conspicuously absent, of course, is Misty's BFF Colleen Wing (at least in these teasers), who is currently starring in her own miniseries Daughters of the Shadow. Perhaps the outcome of that series explains her absence from the new
Heroes for Hire joint, which drops in December. As you already know, I always welcome more
Misty Knight in my life, so I'm copping it to see what the deal is... With Cage in two
Avengers books and
Thunderbolts, Colleen in a mini and now the new H4H book, it's a great time to be a fan of the old gang!
holla!
