6. Alias Vol.1

(Jessica Jones)

And now, on to Jessica Jones comics!

Fortunately for me, there are really only two to choose from, and I haven't read The Pulse. So I'm stickin' to Alias, which served as the inspiration for the first season of Jessica Jones.

First up, let's talk about the opening volume of the series that introduced her.

Jessica Jones used to be a superhero. Then something really bad happened and she quit. Now she's a hard bitten, hard drinking private investigator.

In the first collection, Jessica meets Luke Cage, works as Matt Murdock's bodyguard, accidentally discovers Captain America's secret identity (back when he still HAD a secret identity), and hunts down Avengers mainstay Rick Jones. Of course, Alias was a Marvel MAX title so it's allowed a fair share more cursin' than Jessica Jones was allowed on Netflix. Which is a plus for me.
