Henchgirl

Kristen Gudsnuk’s Henchgirl (Dark Horse, 2020–present) follows a young woman working for a supervillain’s organization, navigating the absurd bureaucracy and moral compromises of life as a henchperson. Launched as a single-issue series, it blends Gudsnuk’s signature manga-influenced art with sharp, character-driven humor to explore identity and agency within a world of capes and crime. Though brief, the series stands out for its fresh, grounded take on the superhero genre’s overlooked supporting cast.
