Book Reviews of Civil War: Heroes For Hire (v. 1)
Book Review: FEMINISM IS NOT EVIL.
Summary: 4 Stars
Yeah, its a bunch of third-rate and knock-off characters (did you spot Goro?) done with camp and cracker humor instead of reality and commercial seriousness, however--
and this is a huge however--
the other reviewers posted here seem to be offended by strong (if heavy-handed and ultimately derivative) free-will havin' female characters. And that is the essence of this storyline: a blue-state female's perspective on whooping toot for the heroes on the preposterous side of Civil War.
Now I'm totally playing into the comicboy stereotype in mass labeling the other reviewers after reading their reactions. They are scared of women. There. I said it.
Even scared of 'em in a funnybook.

Featuring Black Cat; Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu; Paladin; Misty Knight; Colleen Wing; and the all-new Tarantula. Collects Heroes for Hire #1-5.Superheroes Books
