☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collected edition presents the first several issues of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos' acclaimed 2002 Marvel MAX series, following former superhero Jessica Jones as she reinvents herself as a private investigator in the gritty underbelly of the Marvel Universe. The story delves into her struggles with trauma, identity, and the darker corners of superhero life, featuring a noir-infused tone and mature themes that defined the MAX imprint.
In "Alias Part 1," Jessica Jones, a sharp-tongued, no-nonsense private investigator with a past as a former superhero, takes on a routine case: tracking down a missing woman. Her investigation takes an unexpected turn when she inadvertently captures footage of Steve Rogers transforming into Captain America—leaving her to wonder if the man she saw is more than just a secret identity.
In "Alias Part 2," Jessica faces a moral crossroads when she holds a tape that could expose Captain America’s secret identity—until she’s drawn into a murder scene at Miranda’s apartment, where the victim is found strangled amid a crowd of witnesses and police. As Jessica returns to her own building, she’s confronted by Detective Paul Hall, who, despite knowing her true abilities, arrests her after catching her in a lie.
In "Alias Part 4," Jessica finds herself in a deadly game when she stakes out David Lawson, the lawyer behind the case that led her to a murdered woman claiming to be a missing sister. Just as Matt Murdock calls to clear her of the crime, a massive man ambushes her, dragging her from her car and beginning to choke her—leaving her with no way out and no time to think.
In "Alias Part 5," Jessica Jones tracks down the man behind the attack, forcing Man Mountain Marko to reveal his employer—R. Zoumas, a powerful figure with political ties. On a secluded golf course, Jess confronts Zoumas, uncovering a web of deceit involving a canceled presidential promise and a secret tape meant to discredit Captain America. As S.H.I.E.L.D. takes Zoumas and his allies into custody and his political ally steps down, Jessica is left with a quiet moment of closure—when Steve Rogers appears to thank her.
