In this, the final issue of the Pulse, Jessica Jones reflects on how she first met Luke Cage.
The series that could ends with a very sweet story. While for the first time in about 5 issues, there's actually some action between superhero and supervillain. But sweet doesn't sell comics and that's part of why this book is highly underrated. But man, did Bendis sure try!
At the end of this issue, one of the editors gives a small afterword explaining why the Pulse was to be no more. They claimed that because of upcoming storylines involving Cage and Jones in the pages of New Avengers, the publisher thought it was wasn't important to carry on this popular series.
Folks, that's code for this book isn't selling; no matter how popular the characters in this series might be. There's not a publisher on earth that's going to cancel a popular title. Well, unless they get the brilliant idea to reboot their entire line-up (I'm talking to you, DC) or don't want an upcoming film to be popular with audiences (Now I'm talking to you Disney/ Marvel.)
The Pulse was a great little series. I've found many of these issues in the bargain bin and I highly recommend it. You could probably get the entire series for less than $30. You just have to dig these little gems out of the dollar boxes.
Worth Consuming and worth the search.
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
