Today on his Tumbler, Award winning comic book writer Brian Michael Bendis was asked if he was consulted in regards to the upcoming Marvel Netflix series Jessica Jones. “I know I’ve been very low-key on talking about to Jessica Jones TV show but I think I have to stop doing that because I can’t hold it any longer.  I’m going to burst.”

As it turns out he has actually seen the first two episodes, and here’s what he thinks. The show is so good. I have seen the first couple of episodes and because I didn’t work on it directly I can say this with full no ego fanfare: I loved it!! And believe me; I was going to be the hardest on it, harder than any of you. “

Bendis along with artist Michael Gaydos worked on Alias a 28 issue comic book series following the life of Jessica Jones. A former costumed superhero named Jewel who left that life behind to become a private investigator.  The Alias series is said to be the Inspiration for the television series. So it should come as no surprise when he was asked about a series focused on the character he created. He would have a bit to say. “Jessica is a part of my DNA. A bad Jessica jones show would have hurt me deeply. But it is faithful and lively and everything that I could personally have wanted from the show.  The mean streets of marvel Netflix from a different perspective than matt’s but at the same time… it all fits.  Just like the comics on their best day.”  Bendis continued “just like Netflix DD, the look of the show is cracklin’ noir but with its own palette.”

So why not take part in a project that he seems so passionate about. “I did not work on the show because I’m working on Powers, and I can’t be everywhere.” Bendis then added “The show was always in very very very good hands. I had read the very first drafts of Melissa Rosenberg’s pilot when it was at ABC and I was so flattered by her faithfulness and just getting why we made the book in the first place. I met with the assembled writer’s room and had the surreal experience of finally being in a room where I knew the answers to people’s question. “
 



At the end of his answer he weighs in on two of the series stars Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones), and Michael Colter (Luke Cage). “Krysten Ritter is soooo good, and Michael Colter.  Wait until you see Michael Colter. The casting of Luke Cage, in my opinion, and have said this to everyone behind the scenes, is as strong and spot on as the casting of Tony Stark. it’s probably the hardest to cast and they got it perfect.”

It’s always good news when the creator of a character is excited about an adaptation of his work. What do you guys think?  Two finished episodes. What’s your excitement level for this series let me know in the usual place.
 


Jessica Jones slated for Dec 2015 stars Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones), Mike Colter (Luke Cage), David Tennant (Kilgrave), Rachael Taylor (Patricia “Trish” Walker), and Carrie-Anne Moss.

Can't wait. The comics were great. Hopefully it's as good as Daredevil was.

Sadly, I don't have Netflix so I haven't seen "Daredevil" YET (Blu-Ray, here I come) but I have heard great things about it and can't wait to watch it.

As a fan of the "Alias" comic books, I'm interested in the show. It looks good from the little I've seen from it (hyped that Luke Cage is on the show).

The only thing that bothers me is more of a nitpick but does anyone else have a problem with the fact that the Purple Man isn't a Purple Man? Other than that, these Netflix shows look really good.

@KurtWagner1225 I want a trailer too, but like you've said for weeks probably NY Comic-Con. The thing I was curious about was how complete were the episodes he watched.

Awesome, just.....awesome! I can't contain my excitement now, and does anyone have anything solid on when this show is going to be released, roughly? Even the year?

Still reeling from the greatness of DD. It'll be VERY difficult for any cb tv show to topple it.
