I just got the Villains for Hire books. Should I read up on any of the Heroes for Hire or anything before I read these, or is the mini more or less stand alone.

It can probably stand alone on the strength of its exposition but you'd be best served reading the HfH that preceded it. (though the Spider Island tie-ins are pretty weak, iirc)

So I guess I need to read Spider-Island too, if HfH goes through Spider-Island.
