2nd Edition - 1st printing. Collects Alias (2001-2004 Marvel) #1-28 and What If Jessica Jones Had Joined the Avengers? (2005).

Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS. Art by MICHAEL GAYDOS. Cover by DAVID MACK.

Meet Jessica Jones. Once upon a time, she was a costumed super hero. But not a very good one.

Now a chain-smoking, self-destructive alcoholic, Jessica is the owner and sole employee of Alias Investigations - a small, private-investigative firm specializing in superhuman cases.

This deluxe hardcover collects all 28 issues of super-scribe Brian Michael Bendis' ALIAS - plus all-new, behind-the-scenes bonus material compiled in conjunction with the writer himself! In her inaugural arc, Jessica's life immediately becomes expendable when she uncovers the potentially explosive secret of one hero's true identity. But her wit, charm and intelligence just may help her survive through 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?

Plus: Jessica travels to upstate New York to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl rumored to be a mutant in a prejudiced small town; goes on a date with the Astonishing Ant-Man; teams up with Jessica Drew; the original Spider-Woman; and confronts the demons of her past!

Written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. Art by Jimmy Broxton. Cover by Darwyn Cooke. This is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside. 20 pages, full color. Cover price $3.99.
