This collection of comics picks up where the last Jessica Jones book left off, with Jessica marrying Luke Cage when she finds herself pregnant with the Purple Man's child. Matt Murdoch has a client who was the first victim of the Purple Man, who takes over people's minds and control of their bodies. He left this victim alive but promised to return. Ten years to the date, she kills her entire family while under his control. Jessica talks to her and realizes that it will be ten years for her the next day. She sends Luke and their child away for their protection. Every time she gets a massive migraine, a variant of her shows up. They include Captain America, Omega, Jewel, and Knightress. At first, she tries to fight them, but realizes that they are from other universes. What these variants are doing here and how to prevent the Purple Man from taking over Jessica again.
Gail Simone, known for writing graphic novels with strong female characters, such as Wonder Woman, takes Brian Bendis's series and expands on it. Phil Noto, known for his art on several Star Wars books, keeps up the watercolor look started by David Mack. The art is well done and muted in tone. My only complaint, and this after reading an incredible story with vivid characters, is that the very end of it, the answer is a little lame. But this book is still worth reading for the strong female characters and storyline.
