Review # 183: "Jessica Jones: The Pulse"

In my review of "Alias" I mentioned how a sanitized Jessica Jones isn't nearly as good as a vulgar Jessica Jones. Case in point: "Jessica Jones: The Pulse."

Review # 164: "Alias"

Jessica Jones is going to go down in history as the greatest thing Brian Michael Bendis ever contributed to comics. It's tempting to call her the greatest female character in the history of superhero books.

Review # 19: "New Avengers by Brian Michael Bendis Volumes 1, 2 and 3"

Many people jump on Brian Michael Bendis for focusing on character interaction more than character development. I think they need to wake up and realize what series they're reading.

Review # 6: "Young Avengers Ultimate Collection"

Marvel has a dodgy history at best when it comes to writing teen characters. Yes, they created the biggest of the bunch in Spider-Man. Yes, their biggest franchise ever - the X-Men - began as a tale of teen superheroes. But writing teen dialogue is tough and for every character whom they nail in that department (Kitty Pryde), there's another that's practically embarassing to read (Jubilee.) However, since the "Generation X" debacle of the 90s, Marvel has really gotten their act together with the likes of "Runaways" and - as I'm about to discuss here - Allan Heinberg's "Young Avengers."
