I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter by Kelly Thompson (Writer), Mattia De Iulis (Artist, Colorist), Filipe Andrade (Artist), Stephane Paitreau (Colorist), VC"s Cory Petit (Letterer)


In the previous comic Killgrave, the Purple Man escapes the prison and haunts Jessica.  But Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, throws him into the sun, thus ending his life.  Jessica is dating Scott but Luke Cage starts coming around and she and Scott break up and Jessica and Luke start dating and have a baby together named Dani.

At the beginning of this book, Dani has just turned purple.  Does this mean that Killgrave is still alive or that he planned a delayed magic trick to be released after his death?  Jessica sends Luke and Dani away to a safe location and goes after Kara, Killgrave's adult daughter for answers but she believes him to be dead.  However, she thinks that the purple children would know the answer to what happened to her child.

Daredevil suggests that she go in with some tech that effects the way she processes information so that her mind cannot be taken over by the Killgrave if he's still alive. So she goes to Emma Frost who creates a device for her to use but winds up going with her to meet with the purple children who are guarding someone.

They get past them but Emma gets injected with a serum that tries to zombify her. She's fighting it but she's losing. Jessica knocks her out with a punch so she won't have to fight Emma as well as the room full of humans that are zombified. When she gets to the backroom she finds Benjamin the son of Killgrave who has no powers and Killgrave in a coma with a tube coming out of his arm taking his blood.

Then Luke who has been zombified attacks her and she must knock him out.  Unfortunately, the air in the building is laced with the drug and Luke crushes her device so she is soon zombified herself.  Benjamin sets up a family atmosphere with Luke as his father and Jessica as his mother in some 1950s setting. 

Will Jessica be able to fight her way out of this one? And will she win against two Killgraves even if the two of them are against each other?  This comic takes it to the next level.  Jessica can kill Killgrave but will she?  Or will she do the unthinkable?  Kelly Thompson is a perfect fit for this series to pick up where Brian Michael Bendis left off (he left and went to DC and Jessica Jones is Marvel).  She is an incredible writer with great ideas and a smart mind.  This is an incredible book and fully deserves the five out of five stars it is getting.
