Jessica Jones Arrives Today!
In case you needed to be reminded, the new Jessica Jones TV show finally arrives on Netflix today! In fact, it’s available right now! Unfortunately, schmucks like me have to go to work. But you darn well better believe I’ll be binging the show as soon as I get out and through the weekend!
To hold us over, here’s the radical and nifty opening title sequence!
I’m so excited for this show! Word has it it’s just as good as we all hope. This is going to be a great weekend!

Back from Vacation – Just in Time for More Jessica Jones!
Hey everybody! Your regularly scheduled Henchman-4-Hire is back from vacation, finally, and we’re ready to get this blog back in order. Thank you very much to Alyssa for filling in with some fun videos while I was gone, but I’m ready to get back to work. Be sure to tune in later this morning for my review of Teen Titans #13.
But for now, Marvel and Netflix have released a second full-length trailer for Jessica Jones!
It’s not as evocative as the first, but I suppose it’s time to get into the nitty gritty now that the show is only a week away! I still cannot wait.

The First Full Jessica Jones Trailer is Mega Scary
It’s possible we may never be able to see David Tennant the same way again. Make sure you have his best episodes of Doctor Who handy when you watch Jessica Jones in order to decompress! This trailer is scary as all get out, and Krysten Ritter looks perfect in the lead role!
Oh man, that is hauntingly good. Spooky, painful, dark; and we thought Daredevil was good. Jessica Jones is gonna be crazy good! Can’t wait for this show to arrive on Netflix on Nov. 20!

Jessica Jones Teaser Trailer Evokes Art & Music
The first teaser trailer for Jessica Jones, the next Marvel Netflix show, hit the Internet today, and it’s very evocative. We’ve got moody music, shifty art, and a determined confidence. I like it already!
Of course, comic book fans will recognize the art style as being very reminiscent of Jessica Jones’ original comic book covers. The series was Alias, and it got pretty dark. We’re expecting the show to get just as dark.
This trailer also finally reveals the release date: Nov. 20!
Every episode will go live on Nov. 20, so just like Daredevil, we can watch them all in a weekend! I am definitely excited for this show!

Hellcat is Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
There’s some new exciting casting news out of the upcoming Netflix Defenders shows: Rachel Taylor has been cast as Patsy Walker in the Jessica Jones show, and Patsy Walker is the superhero known as Hellcat! That’s just purrfect! I mean…wait…no, I can do better than that. Casting Rachel Taylor is…the cat’s meow? Oh jeez, I think I’ve bottomed out…
How is it possible that I’m out of good cat puns this early into my career?!
Patsy Walker is going to be a syndicated talk radio host and Jessica Jones’ best friend, so that’s pretty neat. You may remember Taylor from Grey’s Anatomy or, as I know her, the Aussie hacker from the first Transformers movie. Whatever happened to her character? Am I the only human being on the planet who wants to know what happened to all the various human Transformers movie characters who simply disappeared between films?
Regardless, I’m sure Taylor will be awesome on the show. And casting Hellcat (though there’s no promise that she’ll become Hellcat) opens up a world of possibilities. Just imagine what minor Marvel characters could pop up on these shows and maybe join the eventual Defenders.
I think I smell a new listicle coming…
