Meet Jessica Jones. Once upon a time, she was a costumed super hero -- but not a very good one. Her powers were unremarkable compared to the amazing abilities of the costumed icons that populate the Marvel Universe. In a city of Marvels, she never found her niche. The self-destructive would-be Avenger is now the owner and sole employee of Alias Investigations -- a small, private-investigation firm specializing in superhuman cases. When she uncovers the potentially explosive secret of one hero's true identity, Jessica's life immediately becomes expendable. But her wit, charm and intelligence just may help her survive another day. Thrust into the midst of a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels, has Jessica burned too many bridges to turn to old friends for help?
Nice layered story in the first half about the investigation into the disappearance of a teenager; the short second arc about a date with Ant-man didn't hold up as well though.
Picked this up after watched most of the Jessica Jones miniseries. Was delighted to find this a subversive take on being a powered person in a non-standard job. Flaws and all, Jessica Jones was fascinating to watch and the cases she took on just noir and twisted enough to feel real, yet still heroic in their own way.
