This collects 9 issues. 1-6 are when a case results in Jessica having a video tape of Captain America's secret identity and being suspected in a murder. Issues 7-9 are about Jessica finding a missing person, who claims to know the Avengers.
Eh. I guess Noir detective stuff doesn't actually do anything for me. This never really caught me, and a lot of things bugged me about it. The story seems fine, but the art did nothing for me. Michael Gaydos has a grasp on the skills, but the coloring style is unappealing. Exaggerated dark shadows that sometimes blot out facial expressions paired with a muddy color palette was probably chosen for mood, but it did nothing for me.
