Jessica Jones: Blind Spot #1

Jessica Jones: Blind Spot #1 was released in 2020 as part of a digital-first initiative by Marvel Comics. This limited series was designed to explore the psychological complexity of the character outside of her usual ensemble dynamic in the Avengers or Defenders, focusing on a self-contained mystery that forces Jessica to confront her past. The narrative was crafted to bridge the gap between long-time fans of the character’s origins in Alias and a new generation of readers introduced to her through streaming adaptations.

The series features writing by Kelly Thompson and art by Mattia De Iulis, who utilized a distinct, painterly aesthetic to differentiate the tone of the book from standard superhero fare. The creative intent was to emphasize Jessica's internal monologue and the gritty, grounded atmosphere of her investigative work. Upon release, the series was well-received by critics for its faithful characterization and the stylistic visual choices that successfully grounded the supernatural elements within a noir-inspired framework.
