Gravitas: A Supervillain Story
The world's greatest villain has unretired for one last mission. Saving the world.
After a serious injury, Christoph "Gravitas" Holtz has retired from supervillainy. Heading into his silver years all he wants is to reminisce, garden, and teach his next-door neighbor's daughter the finer points of proper villainy.
But when a classless young supervillain threatens Holtz and those he cares about, he turns to an old ally for help with one final mission.
When the mission goes wrong, Christoph will have to struggle against a dangerous enemy he helped unleash, his feelings for his superhero ex, and his own sense of what it means to be a hero or villain.

Much better then the blurb suggests.
Old folks still got game. And are Frankly more willing to put it all to the touch. Wee bit of unresolved story regarding the threat, but that is common with Super Heros and Villains.

Enjoyable
Not what I was expecting. I thought it would be an aging villain teaching a young girl the ropes. BUT a senior citizen Supervillain saving the world was still a fun read.

Fun
Old man has one last super powered adventure, settles a lot of old business.
Starts a bit slow, goes dark, but stays engaging.
