Jessica is investigating a case in a small town. It was interesting to see how quickly a lot of the nice church going people in the town revealed themselves to be racist and prejudice towards mutants and in part, people of color. The girl that's missing has a really dysfunctional family and really doesn't seem to belong in that small town. Jessica is able to resolve the case after jumping through quite a few hoops. I liked to see the frustration behind a character like that that has really outgrown the town she's in and definitely needs to get out. Scott Lang spends some time calling her to go out on that date Carol tried to set up, and seems like an all right guy. He actually gets Jessica to not drink on the date because he wants to get to know her better and the date seems to go pretty well. I'm looking forward to see if that goes anywhere. By the end of the volume, she ends up being a bodyguard for Matt Murdock and ends up bumping into Luke again. Seeing them communicate a bit and clear up some misunderstandings was interesting. Honestly, I'd like to see them share some more scenes together to see where that goes more than I'd like to see her dating Scott.
