Jessica Jones is back and in a three (double sized) part digital issue arc to kick off her new ongoing series
Things get personal for the sardonic P.I when an unresolved case returns to haunt Jessica and several other powerful women in New York. Writer Kelly Thompson and artist Mattia De lulis bring us this next chapter in Jessica’s story as our she races to stop a killer before she loses the life she never ever thought she would have.
in an interview with Marvel.com the new creative team of Thompson and De Lulis had this to say about the direction the book will take:
“We’ll be seeing classic Jessica Jones P.I., my favorite kind of Jessica. She’s obviously still going to punch things (and fly…badly) when opportunities present themselves—and they do that quite a bit—but at her core she’s the most exciting to me in her classic noir setting working as an investigator,” notes Thompson. “One of my favorite things in our book are the colors—also by Mattia—which have a moody neo-noir to them that’s just stunning and a perfect fit tonally for Jessica Jones.”
“Jessica faces her biggest enemy: guilt,” explains De lulis. “She has to deal once more with a past that already caused her a huge pain, and it’s haunting her.” But the renegade artist isn’t worried, adding, “Jessica has the misfortune to always attract bad events, but at the same time she has the strength to react, not to be overwhelmed.
Editor on the book Alanna Smith had this to say about the Jessica as a character and the newly launched digital exclusive:
“She doesn’t have to negotiate her way out of a situation with an aggressive man. She can do what so many women wish they could safely do: she can tell the guy to %$#
@ off, and if he doesn’t like it, she can throw him through a wall, Jessica rarely finds herself in situations where she has to coddle men or censor herself to survive, and I think that’s part of what makes her so appealing.”
