Jessica Jones: Alias, Vol. 1 by Brian Michael Bendis

4.0

I love the whole concept about someone who decided to become an "ex" superhero, and discovering the reasons why and the psychology behind it. Jessica is an interesting, smart character and the stories are well-written and definitely keep your attention. Going into the private investigation gig is an intriguing choice of career. The art is great, too. It's awesome how much Jessica lights up when she feels more sure of herself and what she's doing. As an ex-superhero, I think she's someone who's easy to identify with, someone with a bunch of "what-if's," just like a lot of us reading. I also really liked the story with the girl who thought she could identify people with powers, and thought Jessica had an orange aura, and how excited she was when it turned out she was right. I checked this out of the library, and now have the whole Alias on hold--they had this one at my local branch, and then the whole shebang with #1-28 at the main branch. #3 in line!! Aargh! :-)
