Staff Pick
Mary Posa wants a normal life and a regular job (so she can pay taxes). Unfortunately, she's a henchgirl in the notorious Butterfly Gang; and her morals are getting in the way. Henchgirl is utterly delightful! It's witty and snarky, with comic gems on every page. Recommended By Amy W., Powells.com
Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Mary Posa hates her job. She works long hours for little pay, no insurance, and worst of all, no respect. Her co-workers are jerks and her boss doesn't appreciate her. He's also a supervillain. And her parents... well, they're the most famous superhero couple in Crepe City, along with her sister. Cursed with a conscience, Mary would give anything to be something other than a Henchgirl, but no matter what she does her plans always seem to go awry.

"It's a terribly fun read."--io9
