Kickstarter Launching soon!
Henchmen, the six-issue series about the average joes just trying to make a decent living behind the scenes in a ridiculous world of super villains, will be available as a collected edition December 16, 2015. The book, Henchmen: I, Henchbot, will be available in Diamond Comic Distributor’s October issue of Previews (Item #OCT151621), and can be pre-ordered at HenchmenComic.com as well as during an October Kickstarter campaign.
Writer, satirist and stand-up comedian Jamison Raymond flips the concept of the “anonymous henchman” on its head in Henchmen: I, Henchbot with a brilliantly subversive world where the reality of marital and financial struggles is set against a backdrop of absurdly villainous robot bowling pins and android swordsmen.
“…an entertaining story that is both simple in execution and original in the spin that it puts on the henchmen who serve the super-villains.”
