This is almost like a Swan Song for Jessica Jones. It wrapped itself up pretty nicely in the original run. This feels a lot...lighter.

There's still great moments to be had with the character. Her giving birth, the party with the Avengers, gotta love the mystery of what's happening to Luke, and her telling JJ to go fuck himself. There's also great moment with Spider-man and Ben that really hits some great emotional moments. I really enjoyed those aspects of this huge book.

On flip side this doesn't feel as gritty or real life as the original run did. Also it doesn't really feel like a JJ book but more general look at the marvel universe in New York. It's fun but very very different that what I had come to expect with JJ as the main character (or somewhat main here). It took awhile to get into the flow of things.

Still worth reading for sure. Not AS strong as the original run Bendis did but still a nice little send off to a great character. Now let's hope her come back is as strong.
