"It's a funny thing, but in my career, I have always been attracted most to the characters that I felt, rightly or wrongly, were at a bit of a low point in their characterization or visibility. In short, I like to try to polish up characters a little bit when they hadn't had the spotlight they deserve for a while. With Jessica Jones, that just wasn't the case. She's pretty much always been handled immaculately, first by her creator, Brian Bendis, and then by brilliant writers like Kelly Thompson. So she was never really on my radar in the same way that some of the other characters I love have been. She just was already in the best possible hands.
What appealed to me upon second read was, she's one of the few ongoing characters who has been allowed to evolve in a naturalistic way. Read her first stories up to her more recent ones, and it feels like every event she's experienced has made her better and even more vibrant. That's rare with these characters. They often go from reboot to reboot without a thought. Jessica had a LIFE that she's lived." -- Gail Simone
