About the series
Marvel's Heroes for Hire (2006–2007) reimagined the classic super-team concept as a gritty, street-level private investigation firm, blending action with noir-tinged crime stories. Written primarily by Justin Gray, Nathan Cosby, and Jimmy Palmiotti, with art from Billy Tucci, John Bosco, and Chris Giarrusso, the 15-issue series followed a rotating cast including Colleen Wing, Humbug, Buck Mitty, and Felicia Hardy as they tackled supernatural and underworld threats for cash. This run stood out for its darker, more grounded take on the franchise, exploring the moral compromises of heroes-for-pay in a post-Civil War Marvel landscape.
