Heroes for Hire #3 - Marvel


Last issue the HFH team captured Captain America. Say it isn't so! It isn't. It seems in the melee, Shang-Chi helped Steve switch places with Paladin. Since Paladin double crossed them, he knew that Misty and Colleen were going to have to bring him down, once they woke up. And he knew that Tony's team was going to show up soon to escort CA to confinement. So he switched costumes on them hoping that once the dust settled, CA would have time to talk to Misty and Colleen and on then be on his way, un-absconded. Shang-Chi's plan worked out perfectly. A couple of things going on in the background, Veil and the Corporation, are transplanting Skrull organs into superhuman bad guys, so they can obtain some of their shapeshifting abilites, and thereby be harder to catch by Tony's goose-steppers who are capturing people for not registering. But the HFH team has started to figure out this little shuffle, and has brought some alien organs back to Reed Richards so he can help investigate what they think is happening. Also to help with Tarantula's idea for some gene-scanning goggles. Plus, they need to contribute to the effort a little to help make up for the fact that they let Steve slip through the cracks. It seems that the team that was assembled by Veil, was payed for and hired by Ricadonna to break her out of jail, and then to help her rebuild her empire. Oh, and someone has blown up the HFH headquarters. Not bad for a third issue. Palmiotti and Gray are doing a fantastic job with the scripts and Billy Tucci is a great talent to have on board for pencils. This is another series I expect great things from. By the way, once again I had to borrow a cover from www.milehighcomics.com, truly a great comic book resource.
