BENDIS! is getting better, but he still sucks.
So, after something like four months of labour, Jessica Jones has had her baby. The colouring is crap, so I can't tell if it is black or white, but we know that it is a girl at least.
It was delivered by Dr. Strange, so I am praying that in a few months Master Pandemonium will come and reclaim his right leg.
The art, as always, is god-awful. The writing sucked, but not as much as usual. There were two particularly non-sucky moments (paraphrasing here):
Strange: "Would you like some soft music?"
Jones: "No, because that would probably annoy the @@$#% out of me."
That is d**n accurate. Go watch a baby being born.
The other non-sucky moment was when Carol Danvers summarises the whole Marcus situation for Luke Cage. Now, it was still a BIT sucky - either Carol was way out of character (drunk?) that day, or she's been seeing a good therapist - but it made me laugh; BENDIS! has never been able to make me "ha-ha" laugh before. (He has made me laugh derisively many times.)
There is also a reference to New Avengers #15, which is stupid. Why is it stupid? Events around the beginning of Jessica's labour showed that it was occurring well before NA #15; so the Avengers must have run off to do their NA #15 press meeting, then run all the way back. I guess that's feasible, since her labour lasted 16 weeks. (And my mum complains about a few hours with me!)
BENDIS! is certainly getting better, I give him credit for that, but he has a LOOOOONG way to go before he gets my $6 back.
