☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection launches the groundbreaking 2015 reprint series of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos's mature-readers MAX imprint classic. It follows former superhero Jessica Jones as she works as a private investigator in the Marvel Universe, grappling with her past as a costumed hero while taking on a case involving a missing woman connected to an Avenger. The volume collects the first half of the original Alias series, establishing the gritty, character-driven tone that redefined Jessica Jones for a new generation.
In "Alias Part 1," Jessica Jones, a sharp-tongued, no-nonsense private investigator with a past in superheroics, takes on a routine case that quickly spirals into something far stranger—when she stumbles upon surveillance footage of Steve Rogers transforming into Captain America, the moment throws her into a mystery far beyond her usual underworld dealings.
In "Alias Part 2," Jessica Jones grapples with a dangerous secret when she considers destroying a tape revealing Captain America’s identity—only to be drawn to Miranda’s apartment, where she finds the woman dead, her body surrounded by stunned onlookers and police. As Jessica returns to her own building, Detective Paul Hall confronts her, catching her in a lie and arresting her despite knowing she’s no ordinary suspect.
In "Alias Part 4," Jessica Jones is deep in her investigation, staking out David Lawson, a lawyer connected to the woman who hired her to find a missing sister—only to uncover a corpse. Just as Matt Murdock calls to confirm she’s cleared of murder charges and reveals a crucial clue about the victim’s neck, her world erupts into chaos: her door is torn open, she’s yanked from her car, and an enormous man begins to strangle her.
In "Alias Part 5," Jessica Jones follows a trail from the brutal beatdown of Man Mountain Marko to a high-stakes confrontation on a golf course with the corrupt power broker R. Zoumas. As she uncovers a web of political deceit tied to a secret tape and broken promises, the truth begins to unravel—leaving Zoumas and his allies in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hands and a political campaign in disarray. When Steve Rogers appears to thank her, Jessica’s quiet victory feels as much like a reckoning as it does a moment of closure.
