Fighting Ninjas and Chasing Trains
Despite the misleading cover (really don´t know why the editorial aproved this) and some confusing start, this issue really was interesting because of the return of Brad Walker in the pencils and the appearance of a certain leaper - Now that everything is cleared up (read the first arc story issues # 1 to 5), Misty must prove to the world that the Heroes for Hire is a legit and great oganization, unfortunately she now only can count with Paladin (and he´s doing as much as he can to accomplish the job - a good idea from issue # 3, the Altantean drug named Hook), but when things look so grimm and sad, here comes the neighborhood friend of everyone called Spider-Man to save the day - I´m not reading Spider-Man´s solo series for a loong time now, but I believe that this character works great when all the problems of his personal life aren´t brought in to the picture, so when he makes guest appearances or even when he´s in a group of heroes like the New Avengers, the writers do boost his comic side and manage to bring all the good stuff about the character in the surface - this was an interesting story, not spectacular, but at least I´ve got the feeling the creative team is on the right path.
