I wanted to talk about Alias. There was a scene early on in the first issue that I found particularly disturbing. I couldn’t get my head around it. It was the sex scene between Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.
Yes, and by the way the novelty of saying “the sex scene with Luke Cage” has not worn off. It’s hilarious that those words are even spoken in the English language.
Well, it’s really disturbing. She has anal sex with a black man in order to feel degraded.
I don’t know if he has sex with her anally.
It looked like it.
It could be. But it’s not about him being a black man. I can one thousand percent absolutely promise you that was not my agenda or the case. It had nothing to do with him being a black man. It could easily have been Wonder Man. It’s just not the relationship, how it was written. And I can only promise you that. It is interesting that that element of it still stirs in some people. It’s why the book was not printed at its original printer which was shocking to us as well. I didn’t think that that was a problem. I know that some people, particularly friends of mine, had an issue with a woman punishing herself with sex or whatever that sexual act was. They would come up to me and go, “Women don’t do that.” I would go, “No, not all women, but some women and some men do that.” And they’d say, “Well, that’s true.” It’s weird the way people take that. “I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about her.” I absolutely have known people who do that and I know some people who continue to do that well past an age where you think they would stop. And I wanted to write about it. And I am shocked I get to write about it in a Marvel comic book.
I can promise you as far as race relations are concerned, [and] I’ve proven this over the course of the relationship which has gone all the way to a marriage and parenting, that race is one thousand percent not an issue in their life as much as it is an issue for other people. But it’s not an issue for them. And it’s not an issue for me in my life. I have a multi-racial family.

We’re about a month away from the debut of the next Marvel series to be released on Netflix, Jessica Jones, and we still haven’t seen a whole lot from Marvel to tip us off as to what we can expect…until now. Netflix has released a new Jessica Jones trailer teaser and we finally get to see what the title character looks like!
In this new teaser trailer for Jessica Jones released by the streaming media giant, who is partnered with Marvel to bring several gritty series to the service involving lesser-known Marvel characters with all sharing the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we finally get to see the title character up close and get an idea of how the series may proceed from a tonal standpoint.
In it, Breaking Bad’s Krysten Ritter is Jones, a retired superhero who has opened her own detective agency once her superheroing career has come to an end, and she's seen pinning photos to a collage on a wall at 2:23 a.m. in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. An accented voiceover begins, warning Jones that he “knows all her secrets and all of her friends.” As Jones takes a careful look at the collage before departing in a hurry, the final shot closes in tight on the collage, from which two watchful eyes appear. The voice and the eyes presumably belong to Jessica Jones series co-star and former Doctor Who lead David Tennant, who plays Kilgrave, a man from Jones’ past who has returned to force Jones to confront demons from her past. Also co-starring in the series is Mike Colter as Luke Cage, a character set for its own Netflix series as well. The Matrix trilogy’s Carrie-Anne Moss also co-stars.
Of particular relevance to Jessica Jones is the comic book series Alias, not to be confused with the Jennifer Garner action spy drama that aired on ABC for five seasons. Alias, written and created by Brian Michael Bendis with Michael Gaydos handling art, ran for 28 issues between 2001 and 2004 and was one of the first series published under the Marvel MAX imprint, which ushered in a new era of edginess and grit to the Marvel Universe. Alias is used as source material for Jessica Jones, and it has been reported that Ritter boned up on the series in order to inform and authenticate her performance as the lead character.
Jessica Jones will enjoy a lot of crossover with other entities within the MCU, with Rosario Dawson reprising her Daredevil role as Claire Temple in a recurring capacity. Temple will also be involved in the Luke Cage series, and both Cage and Jones will appear in Netflix’s The Defenders, wherein Jones, Cage, Daredevil, and Iron Fist will team up to fight crime in New York City.
What an exciting time to be a Marvel geek! Jessica Jones will debut on Netflix on Friday, November 20.

Smash cut to Luke on top of Jessica in his bed, going at it with a sexual fury unlike anything Marvel (or DC, for that matter) has even come close to putting on screen. She eggs him on, and when he warns her that she might not be able to take it, she insists she can. At that point, he flips her over and starts taking her from behind while the camera focuses on her impassioned face. It's a scene where Jessica is in total control of her sexuality. Whatever her reason may be for banging Luke, she's doing it on her terms. It's the way real-life grown-ups have sex, not the way neutered TV superheroes do. The audience at Comic Con seemed to simultaneously clutch its pearls and lean forward in titillated fascination.

I saw the first episode at Comic con - it was interesting and since I know the story from the books its somewhat faithful - bottomline - I would have started binge watching if I had the second episode - David Tennant is creepy as fuck and I now feel more comfortable with Michael Colter as Luck Cage - he was at the screening and is a big brother - and yes they had the "anal" scene in the TV show - though not as blatant as the book -
As for Jessica Jones, I was a bit put off on the initial announcement of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones but she gives the perfect damaged performance you need as a former superhero turned PI.
Can't wait until it airs so I can get into spoiler-ish analysis.

Jessica Jones Has Hot Sex and Nuanced Sexuality (Especially for a Marvel Show)]
At a packed-to-the-rafters New York Comic Con panel Saturday night, Marvel fans collectively gasped twice. The first time was when the crowd was told they were about to see a surprise screening of the entire first episode of the upcoming Netflix series Marvel's Jessica Jones. The second? That would be when the title character got screwed doggy-style.
In fact, the entire episode was shockingly and refreshingly honest in its depiction of sex and sexuality — especially compared to the rest of Marvel's cinematic and televised output, which tends to be heterosexual and vanilla on the rare occasions when it dares to be sexual at all.
The first episode of Jessica Jones doesn't go public until November 20th — and though we avoid major spoilers, you should turn back now if you want to go into the series knowing nothing.
Before we get into the wild romp that comes halfway through the episode, let's talk about the show's less eyebrow-raising but equally fascinating choices on sexual matters. Perhaps most notably, the show gives the Marvel Cinematic Universe its first lesbian character — and possibly its first queer lead.
Carrie-Anne Moss plays Jeri Hogarth, a high-powered lawyer who hires the titular Jessica (a super-humanly strong private eye) to serve a subpoena to a heavily guarded club owner. While the women discuss the job during a late-night phone-call, a young woman slinks up behind the glamorous Jeri and begins nuzzling and nibbling her neck. Just a few scenes later, we find out that this encounter is an affair, and that Jeri's cheating on her female partner.
Later in the episode, Jessica is in need of cash and, after dark, drops in to see a wealthy erstwhile companion named Trish. Neither character says it outright, but the brief interaction heavily implies that they used to be a romantic item. There's talk of how Jessica used to discuss her most closely guarded emotional struggles until she pushed Trish away, there's a palpable and melancholy attraction in their gazes, and there's a sweet surrender to financial kindness on Trish's part that is usually reserved for concerned former lovers.
To date, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has never shown us openly gay women. Indeed, the only depictions of non-straight characters in Marvel's shared universe have been a recent episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that reveals a bit player to be gay and a regrettable, Blu-Ray-only short feature that shows Sam Rockwell's Iron Man 2 villain alluding to having sex in prison.
Unlike those minor beats, Jessica Jones's queer relationship scenes are clearly integral to the internal lives of major characters, and are not played for laughs or for shock value. They're sad, sweet, and subtle.
But y'know what's delightfully unsubtle? The sex scene that will have everyone's eyebrows on the ceiling once it hits Netflix in November. The episode introduces us to Mike Colter's Luke Cage, a beefy superhuman (though he's not yet revealed as such) who will soon star in his own Netflix series. In a sequence lifted more or less directly from the comics series Jessica Jones is based on, a depressed Jessica finds Luke at the bar he runs and confidently hits on him. He's coy at first, accusing her of flirting with him, but Jessica says she doesn't flirt: she just gets what she wants. "What do you want?" Luke asks.

All of that said: There will no doubt be discussion about the episode's other sexual subplot (so much sexuality in one hour of superhero fiction!), which has to do with mind control and the consequences of rape. Without getting into too much detail for fear of major spoilers, two characters learn they were both, at different times, raped by the same man. It's a very fresh trauma for one and a more distant, PTSD-inducing trauma for the other. It's a tough topic to address, and it remains to be seen how the show will do so. But the mere fact that Jessica Jones is even talking about rape and PTSD puts it miles ahead of its peers in Marvel's film and television lineup. Here's hoping the show can keep up the momentum when the world starts binge-watching it next month.

Marvel's new series 'Jessica Jones' is not for kids, and that's a good thing
This past weekend at New York Comic Con, Marvel and Netflix surprised the crowd with a screening of the "Jessica Jones" pilot. And according to our round-up of first impressions posts from the lucky viewers, the new series offers something not often found in a world of fantastical superheroes: reality.
Adapted from Brian Michael Bendis' "Alias" comic, the series is centered on a struggling ex-superhero named Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), who hangs up her cape after a brutal experience. Plagued by her past, Jones seeks solace, and a rent check, as a personal investigator.
The Netflix show is produced and created by Melissa Rosenberg ("Twilight") and also introduces another Marvel hero, Luke Cage (played by Mike Colter) and the nefarious Kilgrave, aka the Purple Man, (played by "Doctor Who's" David Tennant), which may explain why the many teaser trailers for this series have been tinted purple.
Up until now, very little was known about this new Marvel creation, but those who got an early look seem pretty pleased with what was screened.
Abraham Riesman at Vulture was impressed with what he saw.
In his first-impression article he described "Jessica Jones" as "shockingly and refreshingly honest in its depiction of sex and sexuality — especially compared to the rest of Marvel's cinematic and televised output, which tends to be heterosexual and vanilla on the rare occasions when it dares to be sexual at all." He goes on to describe a sex scene taken directly from the Bendis' comic book, so "Alias" purists should be happy.
"It's the way real-life grown-ups have sex, not the way neutered TV superheroes do," Riesman wrote. "The audience at Comic-Con seemed to simultaneously clutch its pearls and lean forward in titillated fascination."
Clearly those who weren't familiar with the original comic series, which was the first contribution to Marvel's R-Rated "MAX" imprint, were in for a bit of a shock. Eric Goldman of IGN noted that the sexual content "caused some nervous laughter from the audience of several thousand people, some who brought kids - though Marvel TV's Jeph Loeb did forewarn them that the Netflix material has already proven it's not really kid-oriented."
Sexual intrigue and shock aside, the bigger takeaway from both fan and critical reaction was that "Jessica Jones" was going to dive into larger issues the Marvel Cinematic Universe has all but avoided, and the Netflix "Daredevil" series has (thus far) only dipped its feet in.
Main character Ritter will struggle with PTSD, addiction and a whole host of other problems, but according to Kelsea Stahler of Bustle, she's no shrinking violet, "At one point, [Ritter] threatens a pipsqueak with the line, 'You turn that thing on and I'll pull your underwear through your eye' and my heart soared." Stahler wrote. "This is the female 'superhero' we've been waiting for."
io9's Katharine’s Trendacosta praised the "noir" beats in the premiere episode along with the decision to focus the drama on the titular character's emotional journey, as opposed to the novel discovery of her superhero powers, "Rather than spending a lot of the first episode telling the audience who everyone is, the first episode focuses, rightly, on Jessica—who she is, what she’s gone through, and her goals." Trendacosta writes. "Her development takes center stage and everyone else orbits her."
In fact, it sounds like very little time is spent explaining anything at all in "Jessica Jones."
"The first episode creates a truly terrifying villain [David Tennant as the character Kilgrave] not by giving him a monologue, but showing the devastating effects he has," Trendacosta explains. "There’s not a lot of exposition in Jessica Jones, but the atmosphere and the characterization makes threats feel very, very real."
Not too much more was said about the Tennant character, which could mean that they're slow-burning the villain (who was not at New York Comic Con). However, the crowd reportedly went "nuts" for the New Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.
It will be interesting to see where "Jessica Jones" lands with fans. It's only the second female-lead Marvel offering since since the debut of "Agent Carter." Meanwhile, Marvel movies just pushed back the long-promised "Captain Marvel" flick. Again.
Here's hoping Carter and Jones can kick down the door for more.
All thirteen episodes of "Jessica Jones" will premiere on Nov. 20.
