Official Heroes for hire thread

[Superman \S/]

maybe he emigrated to the us after the hong kong handover?

I'm trying to find something on it. The Hong Kong handover sounds like the reason but i won't say just yet.

This book is pretty good.
Though it looks like they're using too much sex appeal to sell it.

Sex appeal is the basis for most of the characters in the book and they've been that way for a long time, so it's not something that can be changed overnight.

 

[hippy fascist]

sex is the primary motivation for all human actions

 

[Manic]

The sex is all tongue-n-cheek (interpret that however you wish). In the first issue alone, the H4H have been called "kung fu playmates" and "kung fu sex bombs."

Already posted it in the previews thread, looks ****ing awesome though. I'm loving this book! Now I'm just hoping that black cat is the traitor so we can have a cat fight between her and misty t:

 

[Specter313]

I figured it might have been, but it's just as relevant here, and this way, we don't have to have all those other previews to take away the attention from this.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Misty would kick her ass.

 

[LadyMoira]

I'm seriously looking forward to that issue and to seeing what Misty has in mind to bring Cap in. I'm guessing Misty might argue that if Cap really wants to object to the SHRA he should do so as a dissident in jail rather than stay on the run and let the bloodshed continue.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

He should be a political figure. I'm just waiting to see Misty stomp Cap.

 

[Manic]

It's always a good day when Misty shoves her high-heel combat boots up someone's ass.

 

[Varient]

yeah,.. misty should be able to whoop on bk no prob since she's been fighting for years prior to the cat even showing up,....

The cap fight?

Before or after the cap/ironman fight?

 

[LadyMoira]

Well we've already had a cap/ironman fight and it didn't go too well for Cap...it's the Spidey/Ironman fight I'm waiting for! But yeah, I think Misty can whomp Black Cat without any trouble. Assuming of course that Felicia IS the traitor.

 

[Sebastos]

Awesome previews, i'll get my copy tomorrow.

 

[Xofenroht]

Black Cat has to be the traitor. Pete's leaving the Pro-Reg side, and if she has to hunt HIM down I can't imagine her keeping with her contract.

 

[LadyMoira]

Good point that; they all but said she's still in love with him. If anything Pete being on the run from the law would make him MORE attractive to her than ever...especially if he had to leave M.J. behind...hmm I'm not sure I like the direction this may be heading.

 

[Sebastos]

I's say she's a the traitor as well. If she were to betray, would it mayeb be in #3?

 

[LadyMoira]

I's say she's a the traitor as well. If she were to betray, would it mayeb be in #3?

It all depends on the timing of Spidey's desertion from the Pro-reg side...of course he might talk to Felicia about his decision first before he even does it.

 

[Sebastos]

I agree, if Civil War #5 comes out next month and same for HFH #3 i'd say it's a given.

 

[LadyMoira]

Sounds convincing to me Iron Fist...man I don't know how I'm going to stand the wait this month...I never should have let myself get sucked in by Marvel again.

 

[Sebastos]

Heh, i tend to agree Moira, this whole month i've been buying Marvel titles. And they just keep getting better. To think when this month is over the buying will continue. My wallet is speaking to me, saying i should save my money, but i can't.

 

[LadyMoira]

Luckily the guys at my local store let me read a lot of the comics for free...still it's probably a good idea to purchase something there pretty soon...perhaps a collection from the early years?!?

 

[toya thegr8]

Man, H4H ain't slackin' at all. Bring it.

 

[Sebastos]

Yes, same here. I take my time and they let me look thorugh old comics and it's really cool. I once bought a whole bunch of old Action Comics books and they were at a good price too.

 

[Specter313]

Black Cat has to be the traitor. Pete's leaving the Pro-Reg side, and if she has to hunt HIM down I can't imagine her keeping with her contract.

That I can believe. Her inclusion in this book always struck me as a little odd, because I don't always see her as that big of a team player, or fitting in for something like this. I almost thought her inclusion in this was to bring in Spidey fans. Then again, I'm not the biggest follower of Spidey characters, so I could be wrong about it being weird for her joining this title.
