I’ll start by saying I hate the covers for this run because they are so unnecessarily seductive, especially when Jessica Jones canonically doesn’t dress very seductively. 

I’m reading this run mostly because it’s the direct inspiration for the Netflix show that was so good, and sometimes I love how Jessica’s character is written. She’s cynical and a little abrasive but still humble and much kinder than Kristen Rytter’s version. (Which isn’t good or bad) 

But there are times when it’s so clear that she (and the other women in the run) are female characters written by a man. I also have to mention that he had Luke Cage use the N-word in the first volume which was entirely unnecessary and inappropriate. Just because you’re writing an explicit comic doesn’t mean you have to use every bad word out there!

The Scott relationship is interesting. Partly because their MCU counterparts would never work out in a relationship. But I see no serious chemistry there and Scott does not seem trauma informed at all and he is using the L-word way too soon.

I like the artist much more than I thought I would. He really nails Jessica’s facial expressions, especially in comedic parts.

I’m not even gonna leave a rating or anything I just had a lot of random thoughts to write down after reading three volumes of this. This has been a LOT of build up to Jessica’s past trauma. Like this volume was the first time they hint at all about Kilgrave and they still haven’t mentioned him. I’m not very optimistic about how they will do that story justice in just six issues.
