In the first place, I thought the premise was kind of clever, and a good look at another, uncommon point-of-view in superhero stories. Working for a new employer, the insect-like Leviathan, see becomes a supervillain herself: “the Auditor.” ( shiver) Thus enlightened, Anna resolves to fight against the superhero tyranny as much as possible. Over the course of his career, Supercollider had done as much collateral damage as a literal major earthquake. She calculates 152 life-years lost that day, from a few henches killed during the prime of their lives and others (including her – very severe leg fracture left her with a cane) permanently maimed in some fashion. While recovering, Anna reflects on the vast damage Supercollider did to her, and to the other henches, that day and in the past. She gets caught up in her employer’s latest scheme and is injured when the villain is confronted by Supercollider, the most famous and strongest hero there is. Anna, the main character, at first works for a temp agency specializing in office administration work for supervillains. Superheroes and villains do battle as they do in our comic books and movies. “Hench” is set in an alternate version of our world, one where superpowers are real.
