"Jailbait is an interesting book for its reworking of exploited all-female hero groups like Charlie's Angels into a superhero comic drama. The story makes fun of annoying tropes like the patriarchal boss and hiring for hotness while also delivering a no tolerance message about combatting predatory behavior and showing a love of Crisis on Infinite Earths related characters (I think? We don't read the same comics but now I want to track down the ones that Mary Jo Pehl likes). The realistic fully realized female characters and their interior conflicts are rendered as larger than life American Gladiator style heroes to enhance the feeling that real women are better than the cardboard stereotypes in service of men often done ham handedly by narrative media stories."
