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 3 by Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), Michael Gaydos (Artist), Matt Hollingsworth (Colorist), Mark Bagley (Dream Sequence), Al Vey (Dream Sequence), Dean White (Dream Sequence), Robert Starkings (Letterer), Comicraft's We Abbott (Letterer), Jason Levine (Letterer), and Cory Petit (Letterer)


When last we left Jessica Jones she was going out with Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man, and trying out the relationship thing.  Things are going well on that front--at least for a while.  Jones does a job for J. Jonah Jameson, the newspaper owner, and things don't end well between them.  One night Jones comes home to find a teenager dressed up in a Spidergirl suit who is disoriented, possibly from drugs, and jumps out of the window using her ability to get away.

Scott tells her to call the cops, but Jones is wary of cops. She calls in a favor from a friend at S.H.I.E.L.D. and discovers the girl's identity is Mattie Franklin and that she once was Spiderwoman for like three seconds and that she has certain abilities. More importantly, she is the adopted daughter of J. Jonah Jameson which means a confrontation with him to let him know what she saw.  This, of course, does not go well and leaves Jones feeling obligated to find Mattie on her own, with a little help.

This comic is ten times better than the first two and I really liked those.  The art is still that soft palette look with mostly dark colors.  The dream sequence was done by different artists and therefore looks more like traditional comic book style art. It was an interesting choice to make.  This book covers issues #10 and #16-21.  I can't tell you how much I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I highly recommend it.
