The first issue of Heroes for Hire, leaping directly out of Civil War, has sold out at Diamond and a Second Printing Variant is on its way.
In Heroes for Hire #1, writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray along with fan-favorite artist Billy Tucci (Shi) bring to you a new ongoing series filled to the brim with action, adventure, and kung fu.
Palmiotti says, “Heroes for Hire features such an eclectic group of characters that there really is something for everyone in this series, and the book selling out so fast proves it. We are extremely happy about this news and the follow-up news that there will be a second printing only makes me happier because I know people will have another chance to pick it up if they missed it. We want to thank Marvel Comics, the retailers who support us and especially the fans."
Shawn Hill of SilverBulletComicBooks.com says Heroes for Hire #1 “is a nice read…with a strong concept and a diverse and interesting cast.”
A group of heroes including Spider-Man’s former flame Black Cat, the Daughters of the Dragon Colleen Wing and Misty Knight, the Master of Kung Fu Shang Chi, Paladin, and an all-new Tarantula unite to form one of Marvel’s unlikeliest groups ever.
Also, be sure to pick up Heroes for Hire #2, a Civil War tie-in, as comics’ newest team begins their hunt for the country’s most prominent fugitive – Captain America.
