This is the cover to issue # 4 of Heroes for Hire, published by Marvel Comics. From the big event Civil War (heroes for or against the Heroes Registration Act) comes a team of second tier characters in the Marvel Universe. This is basically a rather very successful update of Marvel's melding of old school blaxploitation film and old school kung fu film archetypes of the 1970s. Plus visual artist Billy Tucci just draws awesome bad-girl women. These are not your girl next door type of girls mind you. These are ass-licking beat the crap out of you, put the man down bad ass girls. The cover by artist Billy Tucci features The Black Cat, Misty, Coleen, and the new femal Tarantula. Oh not in the picture are the guy members Shang Chi and Orca.
This is now up to issue number 6. And Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man, the billionaire superhero leader of the Pro Heroes Registration side of the Civil War, has just financed a new headquarters for the Heroes for Hire group. This is complete with state of the art defenseive mechanisms.
The best part about this book is the slapstick comedy just comes out of nowhere in this action adventure comics featuring kick ass girl power...with Humbug, Shang Chi and Orca. Black Cat, Misty, Colleen, and Tarantula aren't your girl next door type of girls.
