This comic opens with a flashback to when Jessica was a teenager and was in a car wreck with an army vehicle that was carrying hazardous materials. Her family died but she ended up with the ability to fly and have super strength after being in a coma for six months. She gets adopted by a nice couple and decides to use her powers to fight bad guys as the superhero Jewel.
Back in today's timeline, she is looking for a good case to take on and Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel, sends her one. A group of people has been affected by a man known as Killgrave and they want her help in getting justice. Killgrave, or the Purple Man, has the ability to make you do anything he wants you to do. You want to do it too. At least at the time. He does it with pheromones so when you get away from him his influence is gone. Before Killgrave was captured, he held Jessica in his thrall. He made her do all manner of things against her will.
Jessica goes to see Killgrave and when he escapes she blames herself and worries about what he might do to her or others. The artwork in this comic is very interesting. At the beginning is a very retro classic from the 1960s. The Jewel sequences are sleek over-the-top modern superhero type art. The Jean Grey parts are very sophisticated and look like they belong in an X-Men comic. This was a killer book that even at times made attempts to as they say in the theater "break the fourth wall". Also, Jessica's love life is about to get complicated as Luke Cage starts coming around again while she's still dating Scott. I highly recommend this book.
