* BodyHorror: When talking about Microwave, Weasel mentions a guy named Twin-Headed Tim. He got the name because of the massive goiter on his neck. It's not a goiter, actually. He got that from being exposed to Microwave's low-level radiation for three years while working as his personal assistant.

In desperation,

to:

In desperation,desperation, Gary answers a vague ad in the paper for "Help Wanted". He goes to the warehouse where the job is being applied, and finds himself in the world of being a henchman for {{Supervillain}}s. This means he'll be hired muscle for various villains in the city, performing various crime jobs with them. Not long into the job, he finds he's making waves in the criminal world, and may just end up making the henchman's lot in life easier.

However, he'll have quite a road ahead of him. The corporation Vimco is looking to release the Henchbot, a robotic [[MechaMooks henchman]] that will quickly land [[JobStealingRobot Gary and his new circle of friends out of their jobs]]. Not wanting to lose yet another line of work, Gary decides that the henchmen need to unionize so they don't end up on the street and out of work. Of course, Vimco and the various supervillains they're looking to make a fortune off of won't be content to just sit back and let henchmen take that away from them. And of course, there's still the matter of Gary's family, and trying to keep his new line of work secret from him, especially from his ex-wife.

The comic was funded on Website/{{Kickstarter}} on March 31st, 2013. Issue #1 was published on July 10th, 2013.

''Henchmen'' is a ComicBook by Jamison Raymond and Ryan Howe.

Gary is a middle-aged man with a hard lot in life. He's too old to learn a new trade to find a new line of work, but too young to retire, he's in the unenviable position of being a middle-aged man with no job trying to do right by his daughter who's currently living with his ex-wife.
