About the series
In this 2022–2023 Marvel miniseries, writer Gail Simone and artist Phil Noto explore a psychological thriller centered on Jessica Jones, who is confronted by a series of alternate-reality versions of herself—each embodying a different path her life could have taken. As these "Variants" begin appearing in her world, Jessica must navigate a fractured reality alongside her family, including Luke Cage and their daughter Danielle Cage, while old enemies like Zebediah Killgrave and allies like Daredevil and Matt Murdock complicate her search for the truth. A taut, character-driven mystery, this five-issue run matters for its intimate focus on identity and trauma within the Marvel Universe.
