Alias Vol.1
COVER BY DAVID MACK
BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS(W) / MICHAEL GAYDOS (P)
Meet Jessica Jones, one-time costumed heroine turned
private investigator. After realizing that her powers were unremarkable compared to those
of the icons in the Marvel Universe, Jones gave up being a super hero and eventually
opened up a detective agency. While her intent to help others is intact, her personal
behavior is anything but valiant: She is bitter, resentful and self-destructive. In lieu
of professional help, Jessica battles her inferiority complex and depression with a
chain-smoking habit and alcoholic tendencies. In spite of her self-imposed exile from the
spandex crowd, Jessica's cases continually lead her back to her old circle of
acquaintances, which only fuels her angst even more. Jessica is imperfect and human, and
her textured personality is eloquently rendered by Bendis and Gaydos. Collecting the
critically acclaimed ALIAS #1-9.
