This is when she stays with her human name, Jessica Jones, and tries to simply move on with her life. She used to be apart of the Avengers and then hung up her suit (and that is all I am going to say because I want to avoid spoilers). Her emotions, the way she doesn’t want to talk about things, she goes about her day with a “it is what it is” type of attitude. While reading this, I felt that I could relate to Jessica in a way.

And I am so happy I did that! (I also learned that the Netflix show kind of develops from later volumes which I look forward to reading) However, I had to tell myself to stop the comparisons and enjoy the story for what it is. This starts off with some kick-ass action! In the beginning I was comparing it to the Netflix show which I love. My Thoughts Now That It’s Been A Few Hours Since I Finished:īefore I get into the review I would like to say that this graphic novel should be read by ages 17+

My Initial Thoughts Right After I Finished: But her wit, charm and intelligence just may help her survive through another day. When she uncovers the potentially explosive secret of one hero’s true identity, Jessica’s life immediately becomes expendable. Now a chain-smoking, self-destructive alcoholic with a mean inferiority complex, Jones is the owner and sole employee of Alias Investigations – a small, private-investigative firm specializing in superhuman cases. In a city of Marvels, Jessica Jones never found her niche. Her powers were unremarkable compared to the amazing abilities of the costumed icons that populate the Marvel Universe.

Once upon a time, she was a costumed super hero…but not a very good one.
