I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Jessica Jones: Alias Vol. 2 by Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), Michael Gaydos (Artist), Mark Bagley (Jewel Sequences), Rodney Ramos (Jewel Sequences), Matt HOllingsworth (Colorist), David Mack (Rebecca's Journal Art), Richard Starkings (Letterer), Comicraft's west Abbott (Letterer), Comicraft's Oscar Gongora (Letterer)


This comic opens up with Jones taking a road trip to Lago, New York to find a missing sixteen-year-old girl, Rebecca.  Her mother and aunt seem to have never noticed her until now and they believe that her father is behind it. That he is some kind of molester who killed her when she fought back.  The dad is actually a sad sack of a guy who is pretty pissed off about the situation with his ex.

The local cop sticks his nose in her business but does offer up a little useful information.  Jones picks up some collage books at Rebecca's dad's house that belonged to her and takes them with her to help her get an idea of who she is.  When someone is murdered things become complicated and Jomes has to figure things out fast.

Carol Danvers, Ms. Marvel, tries to set her up with a superhero of sorts.  Jones examines the way she does some things in her life in this comic and I think it's a good thing even if it probably won't last long.  The case she's on isn't as interesting as the one in the previous comic, but the personal aspects are far more worth reading.  The artwork in this comic is amazing, especially the collage work which is shown at the end of the book. The issue covers are also amazing as usual using pastels and pieces hooked together to form an image.  I really love this series and this book really moves it forward nicely. I can't wait to find out what happens in the next volume.
