Heroes for Hire #1-3 by David Golightly
THE GOOD: The cast feels like a classic one with a few new characters thrown into the mix. It really isn’t a classic roster though and I like how David manages to make you feel like this is the way H4H has been all along. Iron Fist is by far my favorite character of the squad thus far. David does a good job of setting up future plots in regards to the Protoclan and The Master of the World. The use of Photon’s abilities is also well done in this first arc.
THE BAD: Casavan was kinda a corny villain overall and I think David could have probably had someone better to start the series off with. Every time he talked I cringed a little bit. He was just so cliché it hurt, but I think David could have saved the character if Casavan was made to be a villain not to take seriously. That’s not the way he was set up though and if that was the intent then it wasn’t put in the narrative well enough. Photon and Deathlok look like they might be the trouble characters for David so I would hope that he looks at honing his characterization of them in future issues.
OVERALL: A good jump into the foray of group fanfic especially at a site as extensive as M2K.

I appreciate any and all feedback. Even the bad! Thanks for taking a look, and I'm glad you liked the roster I selected. I admit that Photon and Deathlok are my weak spots, but I'm trying to scrounge up back issues so I can get a better 'feel' for the characters.
Hopefully by the time my next arc finishes up, I'll have crossed those things off your bad list.
