Briefly, two links

Marvel:

Brian Bendis seems to be in ecstasy about the Jessica Jones tv show. (And has as hard a crush on Luke Cage as ever, which cracks me up. Seriously, if there was ever a creator in love with his creation's love interest...) There's also the first photo of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones. I'm so looking forward to this show!

Sense8:

Accomodation: lovely Capheus pov, exploring him processing what happened in the show's finale.

His fanboy enthusiasm is infectious, and I'm now looking forward to this even more. (Especially David Tennant, who should make an absolutely terrifying Purple Man.)

Inded he should. Here's hoping we'll get the show at the end of this year!

Oh, Bendis, never stop drawing little hearts around Luke Cage. I am seriously scared by David Tennant as the Purple Man already...perfect casting!

Some of the comments to the article complain about the DT casting, declaring he wouldn't be up to it as an actor. Pfff, sceptics, I don't care about your Ten issues, I've seen him as Hamlet, I've seen him as a brain damaged man and his pre damage self in Recovery. He's up to it.

It was really nice to have someone other than me in love with Luke. Because, seriously, the pre-Bendis years were dire for him.

I never "met" pre-Bendis Luke, I have to admit. But I remember when Marvel had their main writers fill out a questionaire and one of the questions was "I'd like to marry....", and someone else - perhaps Gillen, I'm not sure though, said "If Brian Bendis answers to this question with another name than "Luke Cage", I'll call him a liar". :)

Haha. That's great.

Luke was a great character in the late '70s through early '80s when the Blacksplitation stuff was happening, and then he was completely dropped for ten years, picked up briefly in the mid-'90s, with mixed success, and then nothing until Alias. And by nothing, I mean the guy who rewrote Wonder Woman's people into a band of rapists did a mini with him wherein he was a total thug. After Bendis put him on the Avengers, he was pretty well everywhere. Partly because Bendis and Fraction are besties, and share characters a lot, and partly just because his profile was high enough that most writers now had to deal with him. Though there were also a lot of other '70s&'80s nostalgia characters coming back in at the same time.

... I've read a lot of comics with Luke Cage in them.
