readingrainbill's review against another edition
4.0
Have we found the first member of the GJL? The Geriatric Justice League, of course.
This was a very fun read and a great take on an old trope. Lottie is a good main character though I never once thought she was as old as she claimed. Her looks were the only thing that made it obvious she an AARP member. I would have liked even something as easy as some canned old people jokes. Peruvia was a forgetful character as she was really quite pointless.
While I did enjoy this, the story moved way to fast. I would have liked it if we saw more training or if we got to see more development from the main two characters.
But lack of character development aside, this was an interesting idea that made for an enjoyable read but was just shy of being great. I did love the fact that the main hero was an elderly woman of color so this gets massive points for that.
This is worth a read if you're a comic fan.
