Heroes for Hire (Collected Editions) gathers the Fear Itself tie-in arc from the 2011 Heroes for Hire series written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. During the Fear Itself event, the Serpent’s hammers transform several individuals into powerful agents of destruction across New York City, and Misty Knight’s Heroes for Hire network is drawn into the crisis. The volume deals with the street-level consequences of the event rather than the large-scale Asgardian conflict central to the main series.
This collected edition focuses specifically on the Fear Itself crossover chapters and is shorter than the other Heroes for Hire collections. Readers interested in the full Abnett and Lanning Heroes for Hire run should also look at the main Heroes for Hire series listing, which collects the complete run across multiple volumes. This Fear Itself edition is most useful for readers who followed the main event and want to see its impact on the street-level Marvel universe.
