From my experience most people doing the super-hero art are commissioned from established comic publishers like Marvel. To get into that sort of thing requires that you submit a portfolio to those companies.
If your work is good enough they will contact you to do a cover or couple page spread. If you are REALLY good you might get hired on for inks, linework, or colors.
Some titles are more or less 'off-limits' or very exclusive. It's not too hard to land a position doing an Iron Man cover or two but for titles like 'Hellboy' the only artists that are going to touch that are Mike or people he personally selects.
Comics aren't a bad gig if you can get into it. A friend of mine and fellow student did a two page spread for Iron Man recently and made about $400 from those two pages if I recall.
