Meet Michael Finch, a two-time loser and expectant father, who is discovering that going legit is tough with a life long rap sheet. Luckily for Finch, there's an outfit in town handing out gigs to goons-- health benefits included! It's exactly what he needs, but Finch quickly discovers there is much more to being a Henchman than taking punches from a cape...
The art in the book is solid. With the real highlight being re-imaging popular/famous comic book characters while retaining the spirit of their design with outright copying it. Also a special shout-out to the design of the henchmen uniforms. I really can't wait to see what else they cook up as I feel the elaborate costumes could become an amazing running joke.

There isn't much that MonkeyBrain puts out that I don't enjoy, but this book is the first to surprise me in a while and I think it has to do with my preconceived notations about it. Granted what I thought it would be and what it is are in the same ballpark, but it's a big park. Henchmen, Inc was the surprise of the week for me and I'll definitely be back for more. The best part? You can get it now for a buck so if you already bought your comics for the week" well you've got one more to get. Read Full Review
In any event these first issue is a strong analysis on what makes a lackey so integral to the superhero genre. Its incredibly enjoyable, pretty damn funny, and a little heartfelt when it needs to be. Its an impressive package that shouldnt be missed. Read Full Review
