Jessica Jones Creators Bendis + Gaydos’ Pearl Intrigues

Jessica Jones creators Bendis + Gaydos’ Pearl intrigues readers, as the duo’s newest heroine brings grit and a steady hand to the tattoo parlor and the Yakuza gang wars surrounding San Francisco.

Pearl #1 introduces us to the young woman, her Iriguci spider tattoo, and her very capable gunshot.Jessica Jones, Michael Gaydos, Pearl, Pearl #1, Brian Michael Bendis, Alias

The vivid and poignant illustrations form a neo-noir San Francisco befitting of Pearl, and the motorcycle scenes storm across the pages blisteringly.

Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos once created a new character in Jessica Jones (in the pages of ALIAS), the brash female P.I. with super strength and super alcohol tolerance.

And their newest unwilling participant in a ruptured feud is another fictional personage one cannot get enough of.

Pearl is wary, sexy, and her instincts are sharp!

The dialogue, timely placed motorcycle VRROOMMM’s (and other cutting sound effects) and a storyline of mysterious relationships, both new and old, that envelop Pearl’s life make for writing that utterly absorbs the reader.

SPOILER WARNING!!!!!

Pearl #1 introduces us to a world of effervescent color and feeling.

Pearl is a young tattoo artist tied to the city’s age-old feud by some act from her past.

Her night out with a girlfriend leads to a young man, named Rick, who notices a rare and revered tattoo artist’s work on her wrist.

He promises he is not hitting on her, but he too is a tattoo artist and a connoisseur drinking in her Iriguci spider, comparing it to the Mona Lisa.

And so, egged on by her friend, Pearl engages with Rick and his friends up until the second that he shows off his own work, a piece of a Yakuza tattoo on his buddy’s back.

Pearl tries to walk away.

But the bikes are already gunning through the air, the bullets flying.

She takes a shot to the arm, but fires her own semi-automatic handgun and the aim is true, killing gang members and saving Rick’s life.

The act holds consequences.

She is further tied to another gangster, Mr. Miike, a tattoo artist bearing his own Yakuza portraits.

Her steady hand is to be used to do more than needle ink.

Pearl is more useful, valuable, to him now.

Can she murder the man she just saved outright?

Can Pearl kill Rick when she finds him in her place and he is flirting, offering what seems to be thank you sex for her saving his life?

The tattoo artist Pearl has a history, a conflicted present, and a dangerous future.

The Pearl creator-owned series is off to a brilliant start!
