"Heroes For Hire is the start up of a new team including Misty Night, Black Cat and others. This first book involves their first missions rounding up non-shra heroes and villians for Tony Stark. This story does take place during Civil War but is not a major part of it. In fact none of these characters or events are even mentioned in the other Civil War crossovers. The story is interesting and the artwork is great, it is not a waste of time for Civil War completists but it can be skipped if your looking for just the major Civil War tie-ins."
"The main plot was kind of dumb, but there was enough of Misty, Colleen and Luke wise-cracking and snarking to make me happy, plus a bonus side of Captain America angst."
"I miss the days of Luke Cage and Iron Fist but this incarnation is cuter and it's good to see Black Cat and Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu still working in the Marvel Universe."
"In this iteration of Heroes for Hire, both Luke Cage and Iron Fist are out, and more obscure characters (Orka! Paladin! Hum Bug!) round out the superhero team that's out there to make some money. This time, they're working for the government/Iron Man, to round up villains. These first five issues don't do a great job setting up the team, and seem to mostly echo Civil War's main events (Iron Man facing off against Captain America, what happens to Bill Foster). Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti are good writers, but they don't quite hit the fun 70s-action movie style they're going for. And the cover to the book, and most of Bill Yucci's art, is so gratuitous that you don't want to display in public."
