Alias, Vol. 4: The Secret Origins of Jessica Jones by Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Gaydos, Mark Bagley

4.0

it’s been about a day since i finished this series and i still can’t stop thinking about it.

i can’t say i was a fan of jessica jones before reading alias but i certainly am now.

i can’t think of anything to complain about that isn’t silly or pointless. this was a well developed story that connects in every volume.

i would have like to see how scott and jessica could have furthered their relationship (even though i don’t believe they would have worked). they were an interesting pair but luke cage and jessica stole my heart.

i enjoyed how this story revealed how she received her abilities without making it seem like it was an afterthought.

i loved to see her personal / internal struggles. when you think of a superhero, ex or not, you have a stereotypical image of them in your head. you think they’re perfect and could never experience any kind of struggle that isn’t apart of their job. jessica proves you wrong and truly allows you to realize that while she does how powers and was a superhero, she still has her own battles.

i would recommend this to any jessica jones fan or anyone that could be converted to a fan— i know i was.
