And while I’m always hesitant to talk about the art in a comic as I feel I lack the qualifications, what Michael Gaydos and colorist Matt Hollingsworth do here is brilliant. To echo what I’d wager everyone who’s ever read or written about Alias has said, I’ve never found a comic book like this. I devoured those four trades, simultaneously envious of everyone who got to read Alias monthly as it came out and grateful I could read it like a single novel instead of waiting for the story to unfold over two years. It’s that good! It’s one of those stories which make you forget all the other times you’ve lived completely within a narrative because you can’t think of anything but this story. I can’t remember the last time I read a book I had this hard a time putting down. 2 as well, and then…well, you know how some books are overhyped? It turns out, even after the endless praise I’ve heard about Jessica Jones as a character and Alias as a comic, it ended up being better than I imagined.
1, 3, and 4 (of four!!!) as I strolled Ollie’s Bargain Outlet last week! I tracked down Vol. But then magic struck! I found Jessica Jones: Alias Vol. Alias isn’t on Marvel Unlimited and I’d never seen the collected trades below $25.99 apiece (which I’ll spend but it’s a risky move without reading a single issue). Once I saw (and enjoyed!) Jessica Jones on Netflix, I kept my eyes peeled for her comics. At the time, I had no idea another Alias existed. Abrams’ cliffhanger and slow-mo running loving spy show starring Jennifer Garner. Coincidentally enough, I spent that fall falling for another Alias – J.J. Created by Brian Michael Bendis (writer) and Michael Gaydos (artist), she first appeared in Alias #1, released in November 2001. Jessica Jones was one of the genre-redefining characters born during my hiatus from regular comic reading.
