Jessica Jones is coming back to TV and we could not be more excited. Like we really need a reason to read Alias #1 by Brian Bendis.
Meet Jessica Jones, a former costumed super hero who, in fact, stunk at it. With powers unremarkable in comparison to the great icons of Marvel, Jessica never found her niche. But once she hung up her cape, she was surprised at how quickly she fell out of the spandex loop. Sure, she may hang out with some of the Avengers socially, but she`s not welcome in Avengers Mansion. And she feels the rejection. She's self-destructive, drinks too much, and has a huge inferiority complex. And did we mention that she's now a Private Investigator who specializes in cases of the super human variety? So if you're thirsty for the film noir feel and complex characterization, grab a stool at the bar!
As an added bonus this month, we are also recommending an optional additional read. Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat Vol 1. *Spoiler Alert* You may want to watch the Jessica Jones season 2 trailer again to see why we are recommending this read.
