Off THEIR Minds: How Can Superheroes Pay Their Bills?

We ask James Robinson, Kyle Higgins, James Tynion IV, Peter Nguyen, Brian Buccellato, Jim McCann, Sam Humphries, Joshua Williamson, Matt Fraction and Josh Fialkov what they think.

It takes a lot to be a superhero. It's not just about having superpowers or special abilities. It takes a certain amount of drive and commitment. Being a hero can be a thankless job. Aside from having to dress up in skin-tight clothing, heroes have to make big sacrifices. They need to be a hero whenever the demand arises. This often makes their personal lives a secondary priority.

But superheroes are people too. Most of them have civillian lives. The question this time is how do they pay their bills? If they're fully committed to being a hero, that can easily get in the way of trying to maintain a full time job.

Not every hero is friends with Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne. What do you think heroes can do to pay their bills and prevent getting kicked out of their apartments?
