I wanted to give Jessica one perfect day. Not a perfect day for you or me, but a perfect day for her. A case that challenges her. A case she solves. A case only she could have solved. All while maintaining all her shit. A perfect “her” day. I had one recently. One for me. A perfect me day. They are so rare. I thought that is what I owe Jessica. One perfect day.

– Brian Michael Bendis, Jessica Jones (2016) #18

Jessica Jones and even more so Alias before it have been so wonderful. I’m sad Bendis and Gaydos are done. They will be missed. Not cry sad, but sad.

My only hope (however unlikely) is that Melissa Rosenberg has been given the book next. While her Jessica is not quite Bendis’s Jessica, she’s clearly cut from the same cloth. I would love to see Rosenberg unconstrained, expanding into the intimacy allowed by text and pictures. Not to mention because of the relative audience sizes, TV Jessica will be (if she isn’t already) the canonical Jessica, why not unify them under someone with vision and talent to helm them both?
