Parental Advisory
Jessica Jones #11 mostly sets the table for the conclusion of the arc next issue, but it does so with a refreshingly unique angle that makes it a joy to read. Read Full Review
In the end, the best parts of the issue only tangentially include Jessica Jones. Maria Hill really takes over and, while that is not terrible, it may not be what every reader was hoping for. That said, there is a lot to like and I think that the inclusion of "The Breakout!" was a refreshing experiment that paid off. If you love Maria Hill, or Silver Age Marvel, make sure you pick this one up. Four Stars! Read Full Review
While the throwback comic idea isn't as successful as it should be, it does break the monotony of a good, but very talky, issue. Still, the highlight here is the interaction between the two woman. As to the secret Hill is keeping, and willing to kill for, I guess we'll have to wait until next month for more. Worth a look. Read Full Review
In short, Jessica Jones #11 is a disappointment. It isn't bad, it's just nowhere near as good as it could " and should " have been. Read Full Review
Jessica Jones #11 is funny, maintains its trademark high-quality dialogue, and moves us forward. Still, it lives within a series that cannot seem to find its footing, and its recipe of one part wit with two parts water cannot work effectively. The added twist, while welcome, cannot save from the feeling this series is not going anywhere beyond Jessica being the superhero version of Grumpy Cat, and that will continue to be a shame until this series finds a worthy story for a worthy character.

Like most of Bendis' writing, this issue doesn't feel so much like a chapter as it does a sentence, but dang is it a good one. Read Full Review
This is a top series for me but every series falters at some point. This issue is just that, but I hope that things will pick up in the next issue. I still highly recommend checking out this series even though this was a lack luster addition to what has been an overall incredible series. Read Full Review
It's all fun and water games until Javier Pulido makes an amazing flashback.
I can’t help but like this issue, as the story finally moves forward in the penultimate issue to this series’ second arc. Jessica takes a file that Maria hid in her dad’s backyard, reads it, and tells Maria she read it. Maria flashes back to the events that led up to her receiving the file from Nick. It was a refreshing little flashback with wonderful art by Pulido. Jessica confirms that she read the file and Maria proceeds to shoot her
Jessica brings a mysterious secret to Maria from her father. We get some tempting clues about it, but not the secret itself. Instead, we get a whole lotta mature humor. Javier Pulido does a brave Steranko impression in this issue's flashback, but the ambition outstrips the execution. Jokes about uterus punching and forcing Maria Hill to pee in a cup make a fair substitute for swift plot progression. Solidly-executed humor only goes so far, though.
This issue uses a creative flashback, using Javier Pulido's classic Steranko-esque art to bring us back in time. I did find, however, the flashback a bit hard to follow. Moreso, however, is the fact that I don't really care about Maria Hill, so this arc is falling a little flat for me. This series has been wildly inconsistent, ranging from excellent to solid to frustrating. I'd say this is one of the solid, but unspectacular issues.
I agree with review by Black Nerd Problems - Jordan Calhoun Aug 3, 2017. Don't care for art and the gimmick art of the flashback Hill story was refreshing - as a 'once only'. These meaningless surreal headshot covers has long since gotten tired.
I'm losing patience with this arc. Mostly because I don't care about Maria Hill, and nothing seems to be going anywhere. What's the point? Not much Jessica either.
