Alias, Vol. 1 by Brian Michael Bendis
4.0

Holy smokers (I'm so lame) this was good. So yeah, why haven't I read this earlier? Weird right?

Jessica Jones isn't part of the Avengers anymore. She's a PI, doing her own thing, living her own life. She also loves the word fuck. Like more than me. That's insane...cause I fuck all the time. I mean say fuck, but yeah, FUCK IS MY WORD JONES!

But yeah my main two issues are the cursing and art. Well partly. I just feel sometimes they curse for the sake of cursing. Also the art kind of hurts my eyes at times. Everyone is very ugly...but sometimes I love it because it's very very unique. And I gotta appreciate it.

Now the storylines. They're noire style, weird, down to earth, yet still feels like it's in the marvel universe. I freaking love the storyline with Cap, and then the one with Jones (not Jessica) is intriguing, keeps you guessing, and ends with sadness. I really loved it. The art here makes some scenes downright depressing, but in a good way...know what I'm saying?

So yeah, my wife ordered me volume 2-4 for Christmas and I'm excited to read them just as much!
