Thrilled to be in the Villian era! 😈

I loved Hench a whole lot, a funny, subversive superhero story, and am so happy that Natalie Zina Walschots has written a follow up. Also, very excited to have this gorgeous new edition of Hench with a bonus story at the end.

Can’t wait to return to this world and see what Anna (AKA the Auditor) gets up to next!
