And people say they don't come up with exciting new characters anymore (click to embiggen to full
Van Lentean goodness)...

I mean, c'mon, he's even got a
bitchin' logo:

Look,
Fred Van Lente and
Jefte Palo have been knocking it out of the park
every issue of this
Taskmaster mini-series...so much so that I would immediately sign on for an ongoing. So pick it up, or pick it up in the trade, because seriously, comics don't get
more nutsier than this (and I mean that as the highest compliment possible!).

Agreed! Taskmaster is an awesome mini-series.
I think I can guess the fate of Redshirt.
With a name like red shirt he's just asking for an offing!

In the Incredibles, henchmen got themselves superpowers by letting Jack-Jack sneeze on them with his baby cold germs. What can your uberhenchman do beyond a logo to compare to that?
Well, he's not covered in baby snot, for one thing...
Hold on there, Snell. As cool as Redshirt (The Uber-Henchman!) is, he doesn't hold a candle to Don of the Dead.
Fake Mexican's wearing Dias De Las Muertas Mariachi costumes while playing in a rock band is objectively the best thing ever. (See TaskMaster #2, but you already knew that.)
I'm just saying.
Matt--Don of the Dead, whilst undeniably cool, A) doesn't have his own logo, and B) isn't a member of M.I.L.F.
Doesn't have his own logo and isn't a member of M.I.L.F... YET!
Don's a slow burn, but you watch he'll be the Character Find OF THE DECADE!
Fine, Marvel's huge...they can BOTH have their own books.
