    Villain on villain action! Why has Misty Knight hired psychopaths like Tiger Shark and Speed Demon? Because the Purple Man is out to build a criminal empire with an army including Avalanche, Shocker and the all-new Scourge! Let the baddest man (or woman) win!

    Villains Take The Spotlight 0

    A great opening issue for this mini series. Zebediah Killgrave (The Purple Man) has setup new “villains for hire” organisation to take back control of the east coast. Things go from bad to worse on the team’s first mission as they are intercepted by a rival team with the same Intel. Only for it’s leader to be a familiar face.GoodI love the snappy, flowing dialogue in this book. It has a really nice edge to it that gives a lot of characterisation and atmosphere to the situation. I always love boo...

    Hello, Villain. Are You For Hire? 0

    THE GOODI thought the introduction to each of the characters and their roles was great. I really like the concept of one man orchestrating specific villains for specific tasks. It felt very much like a Ocean's Eleven type scenario (except things didn't work out so smoothly).I thought that the one-by-one introduction of Misty Knight's team thwarting nearly every move the Villains for Hire were making was great. It was obvious that she had planned this out Ocean's Eleven style just like Purple Man...
