Marvel News - Heroes for Hire

-

Earlier in the week we posted teaser images of Falcon (Wingman for Hire) and Elektra (Assassin for Hire) from Marvel Comics, each image had "Coming in December 2010" stamped on the bottom. At first we speculated that Elektra may be getting her own series, then with the release of the Falcon image we left you with an eloquent "guh?".


Through a wee spot of detective work we have unveiled the potential answer to the "for Hire" mystery. HEROES FOR HIRE is coming back to funny pages in December. Diamond Comics Distributors have shown a snippet of titles available in their October Previews release for December shipping, one of which being Marvel's Heroes For Hire, a team of street-level heroes who first appeared in Power Man & Iron Fist #54 (December 1978) and last in Heroes for Hire Vol 2 Issue 15 (December 2007).

With the conclusion of Shadowland in November perhaps the Heroes for Hire have reformed in the absence of the Man Without Fear...

Reese Witherspoon is having a moment and it’s a pleasure to see. It is so satisfying to witness that the actress who gave us the utterly original and terrifying, Tracy Flick, has still so many more surprises for us. That super sharp, full of intensity, scarily Machiavellian high-school girl (perhaps sociopath) promised an actress who does not hold back. Reese commits fully and with real vigour and we have seen this over and over again in roles like Legally Blonde  (the original is still so fun), Walk the line , Vanity Fair and more. Recently the critically-acclaimed and Emmy award winning TV series Big Little Lies which is sensational, as well as her role in it. In Home Again Reese has returned to the romantic comedy genre which she has championed in her career many times and sadly, to some questionable results. I know Sweet Home Alabama  is a favourite among many but sadly it did not ignite me. I am quite fond of Just Like heaven  with Mark Ruffalo (don’t judge) which I

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt. Follow on after the jump and not only will you get an interview with some of Australia's best and brightest but you will get a look at some interior art and an EXCLUSIVE look at an all new piece of art from the forthcoming VOLUME 2, The Vanishing Island. Intriguing?

Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn - review by Maria Lewis

When I first moved to Australia, I was not – as Dave Chappelle would say – having a great go at it. An ethnically ambiguous kid with a weird accent, in a weird city, with just one friend who was also all of those things and from the same country I’d just left, I felt pretty alone. I didn’t have anyone to hang out with, so my granddad would pick me after school on his bike and dink me to the local library. For a suburban Gold Coast joint, it had an impressively dense comic book section with a row of multicoloured beanbags guarding it like a protective fence from the other texts. The first thing I saw on the shelf of that hallowed ground was two collected volumes positioned side-by-side. The first was Batgirl: A Knight Alone , which featured the defining image of Cassandra Cain’s Batgirl: arms flexed gripping a Batarang and poised on a Gotham rooftop as the Bat signal was illuminated in the night sky behind her. The cover by Damian Scott was mostly all black - with the exception of a
