 Bureau 42 | Comic Review - "Alias: Secret Origin of Jessica Jones"
Jessica Jones is forced to face Killgrave, the Purple Man, who was the villain that originally drove her to retire from superheroing.
This combination creates a bit of a dichotomy; a character this deeply imbedded in the Marvel universe shouldn't have a problem with the issues at hand, and yet she was nearly powerless.
Jessica's behaviour finally makes sense to me. (Granted, I haven't read the first two volumes yet, but I've now read over half the series, so I know her fairly well.) She shows a lot of depth here, as do some of the secondary characters.

 Jessica Jones Quartet | Nod   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Elegantly bridging the gap between free playing and more structured work, tenor saxophonist/pianist Jessica Jones and her quartet deliver a record that bucks convention while, remarkably, remaining somewhat true to it.
Jessica Jones' tribute to Wayne Shorter, “Waynopolis,” swings along in a relaxed way that sets the groundwork from fine solos by both Joneses as well as guest Mark Taylor on French horn.
Still, with a programme of clever originals and personal reworking of Jackie McLean's “Little Melonae” and the standard “These Foolish Things,” Jones and her quartet have created an album that, for all its left leanings, is remarkably centred and maintains a surprising level of accessibility.

 Alias v4: The Secret Origins of Jessica Jones Review - Silver Bullet Comics
When Jessica's origin finally does occur, it's perfectly in keeping with the vague scientific fears of the 60s comics heyday, and goes a long way to definitively root her into the fabric of Marvel superheroes.
The second tale deals with Jessica's disturbing experiences as a young super-heroine at the hands of the Purple Man, his batty "mind-control" concept reinvented brilliantly by Bendis in the most seedy, unpleasant way possible.
Given the job of capturing some key action sequences - Jessica's tragic accident; her first experience of flying - he delivers a real emotional punch as well as a fluid sense of storytelling.

 Read About Comics » Alias Vol. 4: The Secret Origins of Jessica Jones
The rest of the book, though, is about Jessica’s encounters with the Purple Man in both the past and the present, and that’s a bit heavier.
Michael Gaydos’s final run on the book is fantastic, with some really creepy shots of Killgrave staring at Jessica with his dead eyes, or Jessica’s reactions to what’s happening to her.
I’ll miss the free-swearing Jessica Jones; hopefully the non-Mature Readers version of her in The Pulse won’t disappoint.

 Jessica Jones Quartet: Nod
Jessica Jones' third quartet album, Nod, opens with an ensemble that sounds deliberately muffled like a 1950s bebop recording, progresses to uber-funk treatment of Jackie McLean and drifts into a bit of vocal poetry appropriate for the Vietnam War peace protests Jones took part in at Berkeley—all within the first three songs.
The retro sound on the opening “Bird's Word” is more concept than achievement, but the sound engineering enters the modern age as one of the Jones (I'm guessing it's Jessica, since she headlines the album) shows right away a hard-bop set of chops that lets the listener know this won't be a shallow album.

 What If Jessica Jones Had Joined The Avengers? Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Returning to the point in “Alias” where Jessica was given a choice to join the Avengers, the issue reunites Bendis with Michael Gaydos, giving the whole affair a real sense of continuity with Jessica’s original series — playing like a true “alternative ending” instead of a whimsical and unconnected imaginary story.
However, it’s the unexpected directions taken by the issue which prove the most entertaining, separating totally from Jessica’s current Marvel continuity and establishing a romantic relationship between her and another character which initially seems totally out of the blue, but actually hearks back to the characters’ quite different relationship in the pages of Alias.
One minor gripe with the character’s re-development could be that in this new continuity, Jessica apparently never gets to have her rematch with the Purple Man — an important turning point for the character in the original “Alias” series, and one which led to the overcoming of a lot of personal demons.

It's a big leap, going from saving the world on a regular basis to trying to get the goods on some middle-aged hubby bopping the babysitter, but it's one JESSICA JONES, a former super-hero who now runs her own P.I. firm, has decided to make.
Alias Investigations deals in the humdrum world of missing people and cheating spouses, but it's set against a comic book world where there are superheroes constantly flitting about.
The appeal here is that this is the Marvel Universe where Jessica plies her trade.

 Alias: The Secret Origins of Jessica Jones [2004] Shaking Through.net: Comics: Review
Brian Michael Bendis is currently enjoying an unlikely reign as one of the most popular, top-tier superhero writers in comics; unlikely, given that he initially made his mark with a series of gritty, fl-and-white crime comics (Jinx, Torso) marked by stuttering, hesitant (i.e., "real") dialogue and atrocious spelling.
There are also guest appearances by the truckload, including a cutesy bit revealing that the teenage Jessica Jones was a painfully shy wallflower with an intense crush on fellow nerd Peter Parker.
Secret Origins is compelling reading, but not always in a way that feels entirely healthy: Bendis doesn't just put Jessica through the wringer, he breaks her down and leaves her an awkward, jumpy, self-conscious mess -- a state she inhabits throughout the course of the series.
