An Evil Origin Story

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots

March 6, 2023 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

My cover from the edition I checked out of the library was blue. It appears to hardcover to Hench is red. I’d be interested to know why it’s different. On it is the silhouette is a person, but their shadow has a cape. None of the people in this book are nice people. including the main character, Anna. She starts out working for a temp agency for villains, and a mayor’s son is kidnapped, their some torture, and boom, she gets her leg shattered by […]

Diabolical

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots

January 24, 2023 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

If you read any reviews for Hench, you’ll quickly see the Amazon Prime series ‘The Boys’ called up, and it’s an apt comparison. Both The Boys and Hench share an attitude towards superheros that is distinctly… anti-Marvel. Hench takes place in a world that idolises superheros and leaves little room for critique of their methods. Property damage, destruction, injured innocent bystanders… These realities of living alongside a superpowered cohort are swept under the proverbial rug so that heros are infallible and worshipped by all. Until […]

I moved this to the top of my TBR list after reading 1000Oyster’s review, with an assist from Emmalita (thank you!). I agree totally with 1000Oyster’s “I want to recommend it to everyone I know.” In fact, I sent it home with my dad to read on the plane after his Christmas visit, and he also loved it. Plans for world domination and mass destruction take a lot of work, but who does that work? What if there were temp agencies for supervillain henchpeople and […]

Data for supervillains

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots

September 6, 2022 by 1000Oysters 2 Comments

Back in April 2012, I went to see The Avengers at my local theater. It was one of the most fun movie-going experiences I’ve ever had. I went by myself but I was definitely not alone – it was a packed house, even during a matinee, on a weekend, in my small town. In later years, I would see most MCU movies in the theater, in similar circumstances, but The Avengers was the first and it was fun. With age and, you know, everything, it’s a lot […]

Beside the victory, that’s her destiny

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots

January 18, 2022 by carmelpie 2 Comments

Anna: I’ll have to come back eventually to get the stitches removed and for some checkups. But soon I’m on my own. June: What do you mean ‘on your own’? You can’t even piss by yourself. You gonna waddle down the stairs in that shitty Terminator leg brace to get your delivery tacos three times a day? When we meet Anna, she is scraping by trying to stay afloat doing odd jobs at a local temp agency for henches (villain support staff). After receiving a […]

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots

I loved Hench, LOVED IT! It’s funny, thoughtful, violent, compassionate and full of rage. Anna Truelove, pronounced troh-MED-lov, is trying to get a stable job working for a supervillain. The gig economy though, means mostly she temps and tries to stave off scurvy while she rises and grinds and waits for her invoices to get paid. As she’s starting to get a foothold in the Electric Eel’s organization, Supercolider and his sidekick, Accelerator, intervene in the Eel’s dastardly deeds and Anna ends up in the […]
