Monday, May 10, 2004 Thoughts upon one Jessica Jones (first in a series, I'm sure) Bendis made me fall in love with him, and Alias, at the 2003 Comic-Con; he spoke so passionately about his lead character that I developed the nearly irresistable urge to kiss the top of his head and tell him thanks. (Didn't get around to it last year, but it's a fun goal for this year's Comic-Con.) Now that Alias is over and Jessica is leading The Pulse, Jessa is concerned. So was I, originally. But Bendis put my mind at ease, once again. I adore him so. The only problem I had with the first two issues was that Pulse Jessica looks NOTHING like Alias Jessica (I literally did not recognize her at first, and had to reread several pages; it's the hair, comic-book-girl straight rather than the thicker, wavy locks that looked air-dried, careless). Oh, and, well, Issue 1 is nothing but set-up and Issue 2 is nothing but backstory. It's cool set-up and interesting backstory, sure, but I'm looking forward to Issue 3 (which comes out this week). I have hopes that something might actually happen. So Jessa's probably better off waiting for the trades. But for another reason entirely. | permalink blog • archives • photos • about • contact This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. All content © 2004.
