Hench book review6/24/2023 ![]() Hench reads like a comic without the illustrations and is packed with subplots and rapid-fire wit. In this refreshing, subversive, and darkly humorous debut novel, poet and journalist Walscholts slowly reveals the nuances of her superpower-filled world, keeping readers guessing. How much death and destruction do heroes cause as a consequence of their “heroism”? What she finds shocks her and catapults her into the heart of the battle between heroes and villains. Angered by being cast aside as collateral damage, Anna decides to dig into the data. But her boring, static life gets rocked when she has a quite literal run-in with the national icon of heroes: Supercollider. If she had a superpower, it would be making spreadsheets. Anna does temp work for villains, but she’s just a data nerd. ![]() In reality, henching isn’t as evil or dangerous as you might think-most henches are just regular folks trying to get by. Hold on to your capes, there’s a new superpower in town in the form of, um, data analysis? In Anna’s world, Superheroes and Supervillains are very real, so naturally they have their trusty sidekicks and evil henchmen. ![]()
