This is awesome. The shading and texture of the woman in the back is awesome and the bricks behind them really make the characters pop!
Its always a tricky thing to break panels however and it is because you run the risk of flattening out the entire page. And you are running into this problem here. If you look at it its almost like a puzzle with the pieces coming together at all the female characters. The lines of the woman in the back matches very closely to the panel close to her face and her elbow is cut off by the page border. The hands of the flier in the center panel come dangerously close to the edges and the woman on the building is leaning up against the panel edge. Then the woman holding the child snaps it into place with the position of her arms. The bricks in the background and the perspective of the buildings below do help it a bit. The perspective of the building to the lower left may be off just a smidge as well.

I actually bought this series because you did the covers... never did read it... I'm just curious, what do you mean "Jessica Jones in all her glory" if it means what I think it does then I guess I'll be buying this too... LOL.
