So far, we like Jessica Jones, I definitely like the darkness of it, and also a huge Tennant fan. So far there have already been a few moments of scripting that were a bit cheesy, but I kind of figure going in it's got the possibility of getting cheesy. (Comic book stuff, and all that.) I definitely like the psychological aspect of JJ.

DD was fantastic, and the new season is supposed to be coming out in March, I think. With Jon Bernthal! So woohoo for Walking Dead fans.

I have never more loved an evol evol evol son of a bitch than I did Killjoy. I swear his casting was fucking perfect. He'd be all bad and evol then he'd smile and be all David and I'd just *swoon*. Also the fact that they made him somewhat sympathetic is amazing. I mean, I should have hated the guy, and I was still kinda sad about his fate. Not only are the hero's in a morally grey area, but so are the villains. That's what set that series apart from all the others for me.

Shane is good in DD. We're not through it yet, but what I have seen, I adore him in. He was good as Shane, but he's amazballz as Punisher.

Also - for Rico - Sandman, while it's a comic book thing, isn't a superhero thing. It's a thing unto itself and you might actually enjoy it. The source material, Gaiman's comics, are more steeped in mythology and religion and literature than they are "superheros." For example, in the comic run, Shakespeare was a character in Gaiman's comics. There are sooo many Milton references. And on and on and on. Also there is at least one story entirely about cats. It was the very first comic I ever read and the one that brought me into the genera. This coming from an avowed English major who didn't read "books with pictures."
