Well, it's nice to see Kara as a good guy again.

I don't follow Jessica Jones but they really f****** did this? Really and for what?

[cyberghostface]

Well we still have no idea of what's going on. But short of some massive retcon she's still very much biologically Luke's kid.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

Even tossing aside whether "maybe rape baby?!" is a good story idea - Dani can't be Kilgrave's biological daughter. If she was, she wouldn't be of mixed race. She is. So of course it's a damn trick, or infection, or whatever.

Being disturbed that your daughter looks like a monster? Sure.

Doubting her paternity when she's clearly Luke's and in a world where paternity tests exist? Blatantly forced drama that makes the characters look like idiots.

This. I was thinking all the time: "You know DNA tests exist right?" And she even looks like Luke. Also, the know people who can see DNA or smell kinship.

This book should be two pages long, because of all the stuff you mentioned.

Funny enough, that was brought up in the very first scene of the first issue. Carol suggested it and didn't understand why Jess isn't already investigating it, then figured out that Jess is deliberately avoiding it so she can just pretend that Dani really is Luke's and she's just being mindfucked somehow, instead of getting a definitive answer either way.

Why DOES Jessica have to be like this?

The Netflix series has hinted Jessica's abrasive personality could be a side-effect of her powers, not trauma from Killgrave. That is the series, not the comics. But still...
