"The Pulse" stops beating

It’s another farewell for prolific writer Brian Michael Bendis. His long run on Marvel’s “Daredevil” ended recently. Now “The Pulse” has come to an end with issue No. 14. Which means an end, at least for now, of the regular adventures of Jessica Jones, a former second-string superhero and one of the more complicated women of the Marvel universe. I enjoyed Jessica’s story back in her first series, “Alias,” but confess to following her less regularly in “The Pulse.” I've been around for the last few issues, though, and it's nice to see Bendis giving beleaguered Jessica a little happiness with a baby and plans to marry Luke Cage. For the wedding, check out next month’s “New Avengers Annual.”
