This book is solidly mid-tier, leaning heavily as a lot of pulp sci-fi does on telling rather than showing, but it's hard to find too much wrong with it.
This was a genuinely fun little adventure that reminded me of early Batman comics in tone-- and I'm not mad about it.
I will absolutely be keeping an eye out for more books about the super-spy acrobats who have super powers from being born on a 3x gravity planet.
