Heroes for Hire - Volume 1: Civil War

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.

I really like Bendis and he knows what he's doing. It's so silly to ask for realism in Superhero comics. Doesn't anyone take English class anymore? Fiction is meant to be fictitious. Why would you want realism? They are superheros. The don't exist. It's not about being realistic. It's about being un-realistic. Fiction is just that... fictitious. He knows he's bringing back hokey characters... that is the whole point. I can't stand the fanboys flaming all the Civil War stuff. It's a comic book. Did you expect a high literary series? Did you expect the Scarlet Letter? Huck Finn? It's a comic and it's much better than grumpy fanboys say it is. You just can't satisfy weirdo fanboys I guess. One star reviews are entirely childish.
