Heroes for Hire at Marvel Comics has had multiple runs since the original Luke Cage and Iron Fist pairing in the 1970s. The collected volumes on this page cover Civil War: Heroes for Hire (2007) and the Abnett and Lanning run that ran from 2010 to 2011, collected in Ahead of the Curve and World War Hulk. The Abnett and Lanning series featured Misty Knight as the central coordinator, managing a shifting roster of street-level heroes through a communications network.
Fear Itself (2012) collects the tie-in issues from the major Marvel event of that year, and Civil War: Heroes for Hire / Thunderbolts (2016) is a combined reprint of earlier material. The Abnett and Lanning run is notable for its ensemble approach and the central role given to Misty Knight rather than a traditional team leader structure. The series ran briefly before cancellation but has been praised for its action pacing and use of less prominent Marvel street-level characters.
