Parental Advisory
Even though there were moments I was questioning this series and Bendis, but by the end it managed to grab me again and get me excited for the next issue. I'm a huge fan of Jessica Jones and can't recommend this book enough. It's a nice dark and gritty book that is very different form everything else out on the market. If you enjoyed the Netflix show, then you will enjoy this series. Read Full Review
While we wait to see the outcome, there's a cracking good story unfolding - we just hope it doesn't end by breaking our hearts. Read Full Review
This issue improves upon last month's debut, with Jessica and Luke Cage's cheerful and heartwarming (no wait, what's the literal exact opposite of that?) reunion setting the stage for a series that seems to pick up right where we left off 12 years ago. Read Full Review
The artwork is non-descript at times but not in a way that suggests the art isn't very good. It's hard to explain, but the style is so different and unique that it feels perfectly at home with these set of characters. We can't get enough of Jessica, no matter how pessimistic she is, and we're just chuffed she's got her own solo series again. Read Full Review
Overall, while the plot forms and we figure out what this arc is going to be about, Jessica Jones is worth reading as one of the most relatable characters out there to anyone who's ever tried to find normalcy in their life when life had other plans. I sincerely don't care where Bendis takes this series" so long as Jessica Jones stays true to its character and continues to slowly overcome one challenge after another, growing, putting herself together piece by piece.

For now, I'm willing to stick around because of the character and the creative team. They can definitely make a great comic.But the second issue of Jessica Jones still feels like it's keeping any meaningful development at arm's reach. Read Full Review
Jessica Jones #2 is evidence of Michael Gaydos ability to draw out genuine emotions through poses and page layouts, but the plot is a bit of a police procedural snooze and Bendis falls back on old patterns when it comes to Jessica Jones characterization while being downright regressive with Luke Cage.

Following up on an astounding first issue, Jessica Jones digs into the past like a private eye should and it pays off in some ways, while causing the issue to stumble in others. Read Full Review
There are certainly a lot of unanswered questions here: What, exactly, is Jessica protecting her daughter from? Who killed her client, and why? What does the Spot want with Jessica? And how far is Luke Cage willing to go to get his daughter back? Worth a look. Read Full Review
Jessica Jones gives us one small answer to one of the dozensof questions that we had after the first issue and introduces a brand new batchof questions going forward. Gaydos' art is really hit or miss for me and thisissue felt like a big miss and the dialogue is done so carefully so as not tospoil any of the questions that we have already. I understand wanting to leavethe reader in suspense, however the book is suffering from it heavily at thispoint. Read Full Review
This issue raises a lot of questions that have yet to be answered, but I am enjoying the intrigue. Jessica and Luke's conflict is intense, leaving me wanting to know what caused such estrangement. Bendis and Gaydos are in top form here. Can't wait for the next issue.
Jessica Jones is by far a huge improvement on issue 1, as I was interested and engaged the entire time; never once the slightly bit bored. The art is beautiful and Bendis’ dialogue and narration is divine
Jessica's daughter is alive but everybody else in her life is angry with her. Including folks she doesn't even know - like the mystery party that's just sent the Spot to kidnap her. A satisfying answer to one of this title's big questions is incredibly welcome, but there are plenty of other mysteries. Read close. Hanging above all the other questions is a huge one. This issue implies with terrific subtlety that Jess has burned all her bridges for a reason - what mission is she on? Michael Gaydos's art holds pace with the fascinating script, illustrating complex scenes effortlessly.
Its hard to believe that Brian Michael Bendis can pick this story up years after Alias and do such a great job with Jessica Jones again. There is still a lot of mystery surrounding the characters. The last few moments of this issue are probably the only reason its not a 10.
