Jessica Jones #12

This twelfth chapter of Brian Michael Bendis's mature-readers series carries a cover by David Mack that stops you cold — a luminous watercolor portrait of Jessica Jones rendered in swirling purples, pinks, and deep ink washes, her face tilted upward with an expression caught somewhere between exhaustion and resolve. The fluid, painterly style perfectly suits a series that has always been as much about interiority as action. With art inside from Michael Gaydos and Javier Pulido, colored by Matt Hollingsworth and Javier Pulido, "Case 011" promises another unflinching look at Marvel's most compelling street-level investigator.
