![]() ![]() Henchgirl is grittier and more messed up in a funny way. And Bandette is cute and French and Audrey Hepburn-ish. It reminds me of superthief Bandette, but the super stylized and pastel sixties art of Tobin is way different, of course. It reminds me a little bit of the Street Angel Gang, but Henchgirl is funnier. ![]() It reminds me of Nimona both are deliberately criminals only Henchgirl’s older and doesn’t have superpowers. It reminds me of The Adventures of Superhero Girl, but Henchgirl is about a goofy, error-prone criminal. Some of it feels like 4 stars, some much less in places. Maybe this is like the storytelling is also something she is learning to get right, like the art? Still, I think this has possibilities. I was confused and impatient for parts of it. It is very slow for half the volume, then goes crazy fast. There’s some interesting characters in it but the plot pacing is uneven. It’s also a little uneven, like she is learning over time how to draw it (which sometimes happens, I know!). ![]() The art is rough, sketchy, cartoony and wild, to match the funny superhero parody. She doesn’t have powers but some of her friends do, and some of these powers are funny. Mary is also Henchgirl, in The Butterfly Gang. Her parents are superheroes in Crepe City, along with her sister. Henchgirl is a comic about Mary Posa, an office worker from Crepe City who hates her job. ![]()
