Jan 15, 2017This series is just continuing to get better and better with each issue. We finally get some answers to some questions from issue #1, but there is a long way to go. We are still wondering about the murdered woman who hired Jessica, and why Jessica was in jail. Her unique take on events and unique voice are welcomed amongst the family friendly titles that are turned out every week. As we wait for more answers, it is a delight to watch Jessica traverse the Marvel world once again with Bendis and team. Read Full Review

Jan 16, 2017This issue of Jessica Jones isn't just good, it's so goodthat it makes all the issue that came before it even better. This issue issatisfying and so real I cannot praise it enough. When it comes to stories likethis, I tend to know what I like and I wasn't getting that in the first coupleof issues but now I'm going to have to rethink everything I thought beforebecause this issue was such an enormous pay off.

Jan 11, 2017This is still an incredible series even with some of the problems I had with this issue. If you haven't been following it I highly suggest you go pick up the first three issues and this one and get caught up. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Logan Dalton
Jan 11, 2017When Brian MichaelBendis and Michael Gaydos aren'tteasing and prodding readers for a fourth straight issue,Jessica Jones#4 is a celebration of its lead character's heroism in the face of adversity and with a healthy dose of snark. And, on a more negative note, the portrayal of Misty Knight as jealous and cantankerous continues to confirm my theory that Bendis bases his characterization of classic Marvel heroes on what his plot demands. This is why most of his best work either is rooted in other creators' work (Frank Miller for Daredevil, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko for Ultimate Spider-Man) or involves his own creations like Jessica Jones, Echo, or Miles Morales.

Razorfine - Alan Rapp
Jan 18, 2017Carol's plan bears fruit as a member of the group does reach out to Jessica. Of course it's also caused unnecessary drama in the young woman's life where Luke Cage (and his apparent harem of female friends) is concerned. While far from shocking, the reveal undercuts the new series defining message about the character: she's a fuck-up trying to make good. In fact she's not. She's a hero who is making an extreme personal sacrifice to keep her friends and family safe. The only problem? Once revealed I'm not sure that it will earn her any sympathy. For fans.

Jan 12, 2017This series enjoyed a strong debut, but now that the novelty of having a mature readers-oriented Jessica Jones comic has worn off a bit, the holes are starting to show through. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Jordan Calhoun
Jan 16, 2017Overall, this issues worst crime is being boring. That, coupled with punishing readers for caring more about Jessica's struggles as a person than how she relates to superhero-ing, pivots this book in an unfortunate direction. It's definitely not all doom ahead " there's a dozen directions this comic can go from here " but issue #4 isn't the best reflection of why this series is worth reading. Hopefully the next one reminds us. Read Full Review

Jessica Jones 4 finally gives us some answers to the mysteries set up in issue 1 with a greatly scripted conversation between Jessica and Carol. This issue is by far the best issue of the series so far and I read this comic in no time because it was that good

Jessica is not completely alone on her mystery mission. Though this issue is even talkier than the last, the amount of character and plot development packed into the conversations makes this quite the engrossing tale. This series is where all of the cleverness that was MIA during Civil War 2 landed. A little insight into where Luke's head is at right now definitely helps, too. All this plus a dose of classic Bendis "crazy cape imitators in the police station" humor.

The early setup with Misty Knight is so plausible and convincing that it made me rethink Jessica as a sympathetic character; I was mildly disappointed by the shade this cast over her earlier series... Which made the later twist particularly satisfying. A very well constructed issue.

This issue started alright, but proved frustrating. I really enjoyed Luke's talk with Misty Knight in the opening pages. What I did not like is Captain Marvel showing up, dragging Jessica into the bullshit fallout from Civil War II. And it seems this Allison woman she falsely accused in Civil War II has become a villain, because Ullyses. And Carol selfishly asked Jessica to sacrifice her marriage and family to go undercover. And Jessica agreed, for some reason. Ugh. I really liked how this series started, but the direction it has gone in the last two issues has left me just annoyed.
