You may argue I'm biased, but I would counter that with there's a reason I'm biased, the comic is good. You may argue that I'm an “SJW” and only like it because it pander to my liberal sensibilities, but that's not true, it's just a good comic. Read Full Review

Jessica Jones and Kate Bishop have some similarities. Obviously, they’re both private investigators and their snark registers on a magnitude that would cause Professor Frink’s sarcasm detector to explode, but they also have different energies. Jess is more unfiltered, while Kate is a little more willing to hold off and get the lay of the land before going in guns a-blazing. So it takes a lot to make those energies meld together, and here it’s a triumph with regards to the writing of Kelly Thompson and the art of Michael Walsh and Jordie Bellaire that they're able to pull it off so well. In short: this issue really is the best of both worlds. Read Full Review

Kate Bishop + Jessica Jones is just as much of a snarky detective-fest as you dreamed it would be. They're on the trail of a "missing" person who is probably a shapeshifter. Or the recipient of *incredibly good* plastic surgery who also owns a pet dragon. The characters are expressed perfectly and the pace is flawless. This episode concludes with a satisfying cliffhanger that promises another great ride next month. Guest artist Michael Walsh seamlessly blends into the title's style, and the clever layouts and fight scenes more than make up for the occasional lack of facial detail.

Prelude: It's time for the two part Jessica Jones arc. Let's see how Kelly Thompson goes here, with artist Michael Walsh. The Good: The P.I angle is really played up here. It's been my favourite part of Hawkeye so far, so it works brilliantly here. Walsh's art is really well done. Similar to Romero's and keeps the feel of the book. I loved Jessica here. She really plays off of Kate well. The Bad: A dragon is a bit of an escalation for this series. Conclusion: Though the unexpected dragon did throw me off, this issue utilises the Private Investigator theme extremely well. Jessica and Kate's dynamic is great and Walsh's art is too.
