Kudos to Thompson and De Iulis for achieving the impossible - a smooth transition away from Bendis and Gaydos! A wonderful true detective story that starts with Jessica finding a corpse in her office... going to seeing a serial killer going after lesser know powered females! Thompson also introduces some great new touches, that you'll have to read to appreciate - still loving this series :)

Well I was both excited and nervous for a new writer on Jessica Jones. When Kelly Thompson was announced as writer my exciting part took over. I really wanted to see what she had for our P.I. and she delivered! So what's Jessica up to lately? Taking care of her kid and loving Luke Cage. It's not a bad life. Then, of course someone is killing d rated superheroes. Then Jessica gets shot in the head. But wait, she is NOT dead. What is happening!?!?!Good: art is solid throughout. I love the last iss...

I must admit that I was worried about the new Jessica Jones series, since she's really never been written by anyone but Bendis. Kelly Thompson (who did great work on Hawkeye) has taken my concerns away.Oh, her Jessica Jones isn't quite the same as Bendis'. He focused more on noir, while I see more of a feminist twist from Thompson. But Thompson also carries over the core of Jessica's personality, does a great job writing her relationship with Luke, and also carries over the mystery well, even if...

Another character who can sustain a TV show but not a regular comic, the page version of Jessica Jones has the additional hurdle of remaining strongly identified with one writer, her co-creator, who's now under exclusive contract to the competition. This is, I believe, her first post-Bendis miniseries, initially digital-only. Kelly Thompson writes, which makes sense; why wouldn't you give a female lead with an engaged crossover audience to a female writer, and one with form writing a sort-of-sup...

I liked this a lot. The artwork was great, although it aped the style of Bendis/Maleev's take on this character far too closely--you need to do something different, something to set your story apart. Also, the solution to the main mystery was really simplistic and rather downright silly when it came down to it. Still, there's a lot to like here, particularly the relationship between Jessica and Luke Cage and daughter Dani. And the final issue, about a birthday party gone wrong, was a nice palate...

This was my first Jessica Jones comic, and I loved it! Kelly Thompson is fantastic, so I was excited to see her rendition of Jessie; it didn’t disappoint! The mystery was intriguing, the dialogue was fun, and the art was some of the best I’ve seen lately. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in Jessica’s character, some previous knowledge of the character needed though. I’ve only watched the Netflix show, but I feel like that’s good enough; although one day I do plan on binge reading Ben...

Six years ago, Jessica tried to help a girl named Dia with an abusive boyfriend. She failed. She nearly forgot about the case until, one day, she walked into her office to find the girl's dead body on her floor. So begins Kelly Thompson's graphic novel "Jessica Jones: Blind Spot", which was the first JJ series not written by Brian Michael Bendis. No worries, though, because Thompson offers a fresh and exciting new perspective in JJ's world. (This book immediately follows Bendis's "Return of Purp...

I love the idea of doing longer form standalone stories like this in comics, meant to go directly to the shelves as trade paperbacks. Marvel should lean into this kind of thing. The biggest criticism I have with Blindspot is that it still kind of sticks to the traditional issue format, even switching artists at one point, perhaps because it was originally greenlit as an ongoing series or something. But otherwise it feels like Kelly Thompson is telling one story from beginning to end and I really...

This was a fun story! Kelly Thompson continues to show that she knows how to write the sarcastic, witty female detective type well. She puts her trademark wit to good use writing Jessica Jones as we follow a case that is leaving people with powers dead, including for a short while, Jessica herself. The plot isn't the greatest but there are several delightful laugh-out-loud character moments and lines, and that is what I came for and this book delivered!The last part of the volume is a side story...

The newest Jessica Jones series, headed up by Thompson and de Iulis, started out as a digital three part story arc on Comixology, along with a bunch of other exclusively digital titles including Iron Fist, Captain Marvel and Luke Cage (the three “parts” were double sized issues). I’m curious how the sales piece is working out for Marvel (releasing issues digitally and trades in print seems like a bit of a risk), but I’m glad they’re at least willing to try with popular characters and especially

The full review complete with pictures can be found at https://amanjareads.com/2020/04/17/je...Jessica Jones: Blind Spot is a Marvel digital exclusive that contains three double length issues. Blind Spot was basically a test for writer Kelly Thompson. Up until this run nobody but Jessica Jones creator Brian Michael Bendis had written Jessica Jones. Thompson was entrusted with this incredible tasks and she nails it.I'll admit it, I'm biased. I really love Thompson and everything I've read of hers...

First thought, this was a lot of fun. I don’t usually read superhero comics and I kind of forget that Jessica lives in that world. So there are some ridiculous villains and a few action scenes, which I normally could care less about, but here it’s handled with humor. There are also nuanced and poignant moments throughout the story. The plot itself isn’t anything amazing but it’s in the details and the little moments that the author and artist show heart. Issues of self-doubt, responsibility, and...

I love this Jessica Jones by Kelly Thompson. She's still tough and sarcastic but talented, smart, and loveable. While the skillset of the big bad makes the whole thing wonky, this book was fun. It showed what Jessica is capable of and how many people she has a positive effect on. The art by Mattia de Iulis was really good. Overall, an entertaining book that builds to more.

I didn't think anyone but Bendis could write Jessica Jones. I was wrong. I'm glad they are continuing the book reality, and not just doing the TV show. And I can't wait to see the rest of the Birthday party!

Jessica finds a corpse in her office and is immediately busted by overly suspicious cops. It's a setup! Then she gets shot in the head. Time to go to work!Despite unwelcome cameos by Dr Strange, Spiderman, Thor et al, Blind Spot felt more like a strong Stumptown volume than a Marvel foray through most of the story. Jones is tough, smart, snarky, and relentless, and the central mystery is captivating. Thompson takes a hard feminist run at misogyny here, writing some exasperating male characters o...

This was okay but definitely not as good as some other Jessica Jones stories. As I've said before I think her character works best when the stories are 'smaller' and less complicated and this one seems to be kind of all over the place to me. The new art style is also a lot to get used to after coming off of Bendis' run. There's nothing 'wrong' with the art and it's actually very good but it's just such a different style that I almost feel like I'm reading about a different character. I think the...

luke needs to be featured more ugh. also i like the way jessica is drawn in this onecontent/trigger warnings; ableism, kissing, guns, violence, hospital, misogyny, gendered slurs, sexual assault, abuse,

This was great! If you like Jessica Jones, you will like this book. I'm really glad Kelly Thompson is writing so much for Marvel; she's got such a good handle on the characters, and her stories are always so enjoyable.

I read this in German, local library copy. It was okay, but not great. I only knew J.J. from the T.V. shows and, while I have a soft spot for both Luke Cage and Dr. Strange, the whole Marvel Universe thing left me a bit cold. And the epilogue with the kid's birthday party was just pointless in a TPB. I get the feeling one could do a lot more with a bad-ass female P.I. with superpowers, the best bits were with bad-ass female monster hunter Elsa Bloodstone.

I was wary of any series with Jessica Jones not written by Brian M Bendis, but as it turns out, this is terrific work. Different, but in a good, distinctive way. Intriguing story, excellent characterization. Well done.
