SCORE: 7.7
Not bad for a free comic. It was a odd time to choose to moviedize the Guardians's ship. The Defenders did not make a good first impression, they bust in beating up guys that haven't even done anything yet, what a bunch of crooks.
Things Jessica Jones did not need: (1) being drawn to look like Jennifer Connelly; (2) being yet another in long line of wives/girlfriends being injured as a way of hurting a male hero.
