It collects issues from the late 1980s, featuring the Avengers facing cosmic threats and internal conflicts, with key contributions from writers and artists of that period. This new printing offers a fresh opportunity to experience these classic tales in a comprehensive format.
"Heroes for Hire!" delivers a sharp, energized clash of ideals in a standout Avengers tale from 2020. When Valkyrie recruits Wasp and the Scarlet Witch into her all-female Lady Liberators, the Avengers’ absence at Tom Fagan’s Halloween parade leaves them vulnerable—only for the Masters of Evil to strike, and the Lady Liberators to arrive in force. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, inks by Tom Palmer, and colors by Tom Palmer, the issue’s bold premise unfolds with flair, all capped by a striking cover by John Buscema and John Verpoorten.

Valkyrie shows up at Avengers HQ and convinces Wasp and the Scarlet Witch to join her team of Lady Liberators. With the male members of the Avengers attending Tom Fagan's Halloween parade, the Masters of Evil attack and pummel our heroes. The Lady Liberators show up to save the day and do what their male chauvinist pig counterparts failed to do as they make quick work of the villains. Valkyrie is revealed to be the Enchantress, however, and the lady heroes are forced to defeat their former leader. The gender war rages on.
