i finished it the other week and then raced through the pulse as well haha (alias is definitely better but *shrugs* i love me some ben urich). she's just so damn cool?! and such a hot fucking mess.

i hope so too. i like all the stuff she has going on with matt as well... (i mean, was she actually like in love with him???????????? what was even going on with that omg)

DA

I think her thing for Matt was just a crush, but she's just a person of extremes so she took it as being in love with him, even though they barely knew each other. And she had a weirdly idealized view of Matt, so I think she liked the idea of him more than anything.

I really, really love her and Matt's friendship. They're both so messed up in similar ways and I think they would have been a very dysfunctional couple, but they're both so prone to making terrible life choices, so I'm honestly surprised that they didn't sleep together or date. Like I feel like they had a lot of potential to be a terrible combination and hurt each other, but instead they developed this awesome friendship that was good for them. I love it. I love that these two super damaged people manage to be a bright spot in each other's lives.

AYRT

yeah i was confused because she said she was in love but wasn't actually...taking it anywhere? and i kept waiting for them to fall into bed together because of matt's spectacular track record (and hers tbf). i like their friendship too - they are so similar ugh, so many issues between them, it's ridiculous. <3

i'm trying to remember, bc alias and bendis' dd run overlap(?) was jessica in that run?? i remember he did have a female body guard...it was her, right? ugh i need to go back and reread so much. (sorry if i'm assuming you've read stuff that you haven't oops)

AYRT

Heh, it's cool. I actually haven't read Bendis' DD, but I looked it up on a wiki and apparently Jess (and I think Luke) was in 11 issues of it.

http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Jessica_Jones_(Earth-616)/Appearances

That gives me more motivation to read it, since I really wished that we had seen more of Jess and Luke as Matt's bodyguards. Even if it's just a little more, I really wanna see what they got up to in Daredevil.

Not only do Bendis' run on DD and Alias overlap, but they actually complement one another. Alias fills in the other side of certain scenes in DD.

For example, when Luke and Jess are guarding his door, you see a woman come in to talk to Matt, then she leaves and her hair is a different colour and you realize it's Natasha. The DD series actually shows you Luke and Jess guarding Matt but then you see what Matt and Nat talked about. So if you re-read them both together, they're two sides of the same coin in a lot of ways.

Also, I took Jess' fixation on Matt to be related to the fact that Daredevil was the one who finally got the Purple Man arrested and took him down. She's not attracted to him until she suspects he might be Daredevil, and then she starts to admire him but also becomes obsessed with confirming that they are the same person. It made sense to me, because even though she was no longer under Killgrave's control when he fought Matt, it does make Matt kind of her hero because he did what she wasn't able to do and she probably wants to know how he does it or has him on a pedestal. And then, once she takes Killgrave out herself, it paves the way for her to get over Matt and be with Luke. That was my take anyway.

It is weird that Jess is one of honestly the only women Matt's hung around in the Marvel Universe who he hasn't hooked up with (except maybe She-Hulk). The list is ridiculous - Black Widow, Misty Knight, Echo, Elektra, Typhoid Mary... I can't remember if he hooks up with Colleen Wing or not too, but it wouldn't surprised me. I just read Daredevil: End of Days and it was hilarious to me that when Ben Urich looks into Matt's life, he basically finds a trail of his enraged exes (all of whom have suspiciously red-headed children with no fathers).

I don't even think Stark's track record reads quite like that (although it's also substantial and will likely include Spiderman's Mary Jane soon).

LOL

Also Wolverine's archvillain Deathstrike.

There is strong evidence that Matt and She-Hulk hooked up in the House of M. They were linked together in news media and were very physically teasing of each other when we see them together.
