Figured I'd make a new thread for this so the Daredevil thread can live free.
Due out 11/20/2015, Jessica Jones, based on the comicbook "Alias" by Brian Michael Bendis, is the second Marvel Cinematic Universe show to arrive on Netflix. Focusing on the titular Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), a former superhero who had a REALLY bad day and has spent the time since drinking, fighting and running a detective agency called Alias Investigations. Also featuring Luke Cage (Mike Colter) - who will be getting his own series next year - and Patsy Walker (Rachael Taylor) and featuring the undeniable evil of Man in a Purple Suit (David Tennant)
Marvel's put out some teasers in the meantime.

Marvel also put out a free prequel comic to lead up to the series.

Just a note, but we don't actually know that Taylor is playing Hellcat. Marvel and Netflix haven't said anything to that effect, and no information has leaked out to indicate the character is a superhero in this setting.
She seems to just be a talk show host who is Jessica's friend.
you should be. jess is great, alias is great.
please, this, be great.
I became a fan with Breaking Bad. Which is weird since I watched Veronica Mars!
She didn't exactly have a huge part in Veronica Mars, really.
I said this in the Daredevil thread, but I am really excited to see a full-length trailer, or something else that actually shows the...show. Ritter is a great actress, but my biggest worry when she was cast was that I thought her natural voice was a bit light for Jessica. I'm interested to see if she rasped it up any for the show.

It's definitely minor, just me being overly nerdy and Jessica Jones being one of my favorites so me wanting everything to be completely perfect.

So far the teasers are just kinda light and "hey look jessica is real strong", so hopefully we'll be getting a trailer soon that actually tells us what it's gonna be like.
I wonder with the success they saw with that they don't feel the need to promote too heavily just yet. ~1.5 months out and it's all short clips, snippets, enough to get a sense of something but kept vague.
I'm guessing we'll see something more substantial soon, but for now I'm liking the little beats they're hitting, and cannot wait to marathon the shit out of it on release.
I can't keep up!
Sometimes they then don't give that person anything interesting to actually say, but the casting is usually pretty spot on!
she was great in that show
A moment of silence for this great show, gone too soon.

Because that would be super awesome and fit in with the new direction the Netflix series have taken the MCU.

The original Alias team of Bendis and Gaydos are behind it, so its like an official MCU version of Jessica Jones.
Related: what do you guys think of the Marvel Unlimited App? Was thinking of getting a subscription as I am a Marvel Fanboy, but not sure if its worth the money.
I signed up for a month, and that at least was definitely worth it.
I subscribe. They pretty reliably put out comics from 6 months ago and slowly up the back issues. Older issues can be frustrating when they don't have complete storylines. The back issues in particular have problems with the panel-by-panel reading mode, but overall I think it's easily worth the price.
But it also has Star Wars comics too.
Non Disney yet that I am aware of.
Note the PC website version is garbage, but on ipad/android the interface is good.
not unusable, but very unpleasant
Yeah, if you haven't watched the series, it is definitely worth your while. Ritter is fantastic, plus it has James Vanderbeek playing himself, which is the best role I've ever seen him do.
Yeah, I think it's more because I want them to downplay the super hero side of the Netflix adaptations, and I liked what the colours and art evoked in the first one.
Thats by far the creepiest and most horrifying things about him.
Hard to believe he was ever a joke before Bendis got ahold of him with that power set.
