A review by andizor
Alias, Vol. 1 Omnibus by Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Gaydos

4.0

I bought this and volume 2 on Comixology after I watched the first trailer for Jessica Jones. Jessica Jones is a former member of the infamous flying and tights squad, the Avengers. Now, she spends her day as a private investigator, using her connections (if she HAS TO) to solve crime. When she sees something she clearly isn't supposed to see while doing some surveillance for a client, she knows she's being set up, but she isn't sure why or by whom.

This volume was dynamite. I was a little underwhelmed by the art to start with, but it grew on me. The writing is spot on. LOVED IT. I like Jessica - I like the angle. I can definitely think of how this applies in real life. I can think of plenty of people who might be good at something or fit in some way for something, but not feel right doing it or not want to do it. I'm hoping to dive into the tv show soon and I'm curious to see how they compare.
