Just want to read the core JJ material? No problem. Will the magic return with the original creators reunited? We’ll see. Yes, it’s still written by Brian Bendis, but it also features original penciler Michael Gaydos and colorist Matt Hollingsworth. She was still fun to read, but that original magic wore off.Ģ016 brings with it her first solo series since The Pulse ended in 2006 – this time, simply bearing her name. The roguish, messed-up, inappropriate Jessica of Alias was irretrievably erased in favor of a nagging romantic partner and occasional straight-up superhero – and she was entirely controlled by Brian Bendis.

That left the character in an odd spot for an entire decade. Luke had been reintroduced to readers in Alias, and Jessica Jones wasn’t far behind.

When he made the jump from writing more fringe, street-level titles to the big leagues of relaunching The Avengers, he brought Luke Cage with him. Jessica Jones caught the attention of Marvel readers, as did her author Brian Bendis. Unlike the first season of her Netflix show, the title wasn’t all about Purple Man – there were several plots of Jones’s investigations and entanglements on the fringes of the superhero world. It was by far the most explicit in-continuity title Marvel had published to date, featuring the hard-drinking, nymphomaniac, perennial failure Jessica Jones and her one-woman agency, Alias Investigations. Jessica Jones went from a random adults-only non-hero made up from the whole cloth of spaces between superhero bash-ups to one of Marvel’s biggest screen stars.īrian Bendis invented Jessica Jones for the 2001 Marvel MAX title Alias.
