Marvel Announces Heroes For Hire in December

Surprise! All those "for hire" teasers have been leading up to this. Look who's on the team.

It's pretty safe to say that most of us saw this coming. Heroes For Hire is returning. It just won't be the same 'team' we've seen before. 
 
Today, Marvel has announced and released an image showing who we can expect to see on the team. Iron Fist is a given. We also see Moon Knight. What does that mean for his position on Steve Rogers' Secret Avengers? Will he be pulling double duty like so many other Avengers? 
 
Front and center we see Ghost Rider. That seems a little odd to me. He doesn't really seem like the team player type. Also, in the Shadowland: Ghost Rider, we saw that Johnny Blaze doesn't seem too motivated to continue his Ghost Rider duties. 
 
Elektra and Punisher seem odd choices as well. If Elektra's going to be an assassin, that doesn't really seem too heroic. And we all know Punisher is an anti-hero as well. 
 
We'll have to wait until December to see what this is all about. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning will be writing with Brad Walker doing pencils (and Doug Braithwaite doing the cover). Are you excited about this incarnation of the team?
