I got a DM from this one angry, threatening guy who was unequivocal about the Krakoan Era being the work of Satan, and the worst thing that ever happened, and a betrayal of comics’ true fans, fans like him, and that we should keep all our snowflakey nonsense – like, you know, kissing and politics and women having opinions and thoughtful themes and people choosing to love whoever they want to love, disgusting stuff like that — that we should keep all that out of comics where it belongs. And I just thought, you know, if this one random over-entitled white male feels this strongly about it then, damn, he must be right. “Krakoa must fall!” I pleaded to my colleagues. “And us with it!” Sadly the other writers in the room never listen to more than the first half of any sentence I say, so I think they just took the title and ignored the rest. -- Si Spurrier

"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
