Moving away from their cosmic universe to more of a street level world, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning bring us a new incarnation of the Heroes for Hire. The main draw of this series is to see a mash-up of characters dealing with threats while receiving a fat pay check at the end of an assignment; it’s a fun idea, and one that Abnett and Lanning have changed to be more in-line with the Charlie’s Angels set-up. Despite this, the story never feels alive enough throughout this initial issue; granted, it’s the introduction of this new concept, but it doesn’t feel solid, which is a shame. The art by Brad Walker is decent enough, but some of his characters look downright ugly; the last page reveal of this arc’s villain, however, was a wonderfully creepy image. This series is probably worth picking up the second issue, but as a lone instalment it is something of a letdown.
