Review/plot:
Luke & Danny are manipulated by a mercenary named Vienna into doing her work for her.

This is a decent straightforward story that works the "For Hire" part of the Heroes For Hire concept more than we've seen since the early part of Mary Jo Duffy's run.

As an interruption to Kurt Busiek's run on the title, it's a little disappointing. Still a vast improvement, story- and art-wise, over the recent O'Neil/Cowyn run.

There's a "Stoneface" in this issue...

...but the MCP doesn't list him as the same Stone-Face that the Falcon fought in Captain America. The Marvel Appendix, however, does. Longer hair and beard, but the same taste in clothing color.

The Appendix also likes this little sequence (i agree).
