Brian Michael Bendis brought Luke Cage out of comics oblivion and made him an Avenger. (Thank You!) With all the Marvel Now creative shakeups I was wondering where Cage might end up?
Spoiler Warning!
If you have not read New Avengers #34 you may not want to keep reading!
Ok
Here it comes
In New Avengers #34 by Bendis and Mike Deodato Luke left the Avengers with wife Jessica and raise their baby. How will this former Avenger make a living? Luke teases that he’s bringing back his Heroes-For-Hire with “a new way to play it.”
Jessica didn’t seem to thrilled by the idea.
So far Luke Cage and Iron Fist have not been named as part of Jonathan Hickman’s huge roster for this Avengers relaunch or any other Marvel Now title.
Could there be a new Heroes for Hire starring Luke and Danny Rand by Bendis? I loved how there were “street level Avengers” like Luke, Danny and Daredevil but where do they fit in the Marvel Now?
I would love a new Heroes for Hire book with Luke and Danny taking on the Hand or a new Maggia. Way back in the day Power Man and Iron Fist was a cool, action packed buddy book and perfect for a modern reboot. Heroes or Hire, Avenger or something new…Luke Cage (and Jessica and Danny) is too great a character to go back on the back burner.

Would love a H4H in 2013
Thanks for your comment! Maybe Luke could recruit Cloak & Daggger for his H4H?
I think there is a market for street level under-used heroes that once had their own books. Like what Bendis did when he expanded on character development.
Thanks for your comment! I would love to have a Marvel Knights trilogy of Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Daredevil movies then one big one with all 3 (plus Daughters of the Dragon) against the Hand.
