The critically acclaimed Marvel Digital Original series by Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis, released for the first time as a print miniseries!
Jessica Jones was once the costumed super hero known as Jewel. She sucked at it. Now she's a private investigator at her own firm, Alias Investigations. She sucks less at that. With the Purple Man gone, her relationship with her husband, Luke Cage, and their daughter, Danielle, is better than ever. But her past always comes knocking, and when a woman whose case she fumbled winds up dead on her office floor, Jessica goes from private investigator to prime suspect. Can she find the real killer and more
Wow, what a fantastic first issue this was. The text piece at the end of the issue shows that Bendis handpicked Kelly Thompson to write this, and I can see why. She effortlessly pulls you into this world, into Jessica's life, and writes a story that has elements of drama, police procedural, and a sprinkling of mainstream Marvel cameos. The dialogue from Jessica is spot on, as is her attitude and actions throughout. The art, by De Iulis, is just gorgeous, and is very cinematic in its style and composition. Panels bleed into other panels, some pages have two panels, others nine, it's both beautiful to look at visually and smart enough to pace the storyline perfectly. Writing and art in perfect synch with each other. Read Full Review
It has masterful dialogue, fantastically crisp and detailed art, and thorough story development from Thompson and her team. If you're looking for a fast-paced mystery with cameos from a few Marvel heroes, this is a perfect issue for you. If you're looking for an entertainingly authentic series with a female lead that commands the page, this series will also be for you. All I can say is; don't be stubborn or even blind to this series.

Jessica Jones: Blind Spot #1 may have been a reprinting, but I found myself just as enthusiastic to read it the second time around. And of course, there's the hope that it will reach new readers this time around. Read Full Review

While the book does set up an interesting noir style mystery for our superpowered detective, the real highlight of the book are the little moments that make her life relatable and ordinary. Read Full Review
A good start! Thompson writes JJ well here. The mystery seems a little cliché already, but it could surprise me. Great art.
Great start to the series. The artwork fits the tone well and Thompson seems to really understand Jessica’s character. Classic cliffhanger too
Prelude:
Jessica Jones: Blind Spot is finally in print and that means I can review it now... Also, I started reviewing books way after this was released digitally.... anyway, let's see what Thompson has in store for Jessica Jones.
The Good:
I like Luke and Jessica's relationship and how it is shown here.
I love the interrogation scene. Everything about it was great.
Mattia de Lulis art was great in this issue.
The Bad:
Cliffhanger is basic and we know it won't pay off.
Conclusion:
A really good start to Jessica Jones: Blind Spot. Hits the notes that it needs to.
