jessica Jones

Jessica Jones debuted in the Marvel MAX imprint series Alias in November 2001. The character and series were created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos. While Jones was created in 2001, she was retroactively established to have appeared earlier: in Alias #22, it is revealed that Jones appears just off-panel in the events of Amazing Fantasy #15, the first appearance of Spider-Man, and Bendis's story in The Amazing Spider-Man #601 retroactively establishes her to have first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #4 (June 1963) as an unnamed classmate of Peter Parker. Alias ran for 28 issues from 2001 to 2004, with most covers drawn by David W. Mack. After the end of the series, Jones and other characters from the series moved to Bendis' subsequent series, The Pulse. In a 2005 interview, Bendis revealed that "Originally, Alias was going to star Jessica Drew, but it became something else entirely. Which is good, because had we used Jessica, it would have been off continuity and bad storytelling."{{cite web | url=https://www.cbr.com/wwc-day-1-spider-love-bendis-on-spider-woman-origin-and-new-ongoing-series/ | title=Spider-Love: Bendis on 'Spider-Woman: Origin' and New Ongoing Series | first=Jonah | last=Weiland |publisher=Comic Book Resources | date=August 5, 2005 | access-date=2011-02-06}} Previously, Bendis commented:Powers #11, letters pages

: "I was at one time toying with doing Jessica Drew because she has the best hair of any superhero in comics, but this book is entirely different than what that idea was to be. This character is totally different in every way but sexual gender. And there's that Jessica name that's not going to help me convince anyone. Any writer can tell you that the development process can be a sparkling and surprising one. You start in one place and end up in an entirely different one. I was also toying with a pornographic version of Dial H for Hero, doesn't mean that this is that book either."

While initially scripting and plotting Alias as following a previous reinvention of Drew as a private investigator, ultimately, in actively developing the title, Bendis decided to make her a new character, Jones, with a "distinct background and voice from Drew's", while deciding to still give this character the first name Jessica.{{cite web | url=https://www.cbr.com/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-61/ | title=Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed #61 | first=Brian | last=Cronin |publisher=Comic Book Resources| date=July 27, 2006 | access-date=2011-02-06}}

Jessica Jones appeared as a regular character throughout the 2010-2013 New Avengers series, from issue #1 (August 2010) through its final issue, #34 (January 2013). In a Marvel Comics podcast, Bendis expressed his desire to incorporate Jones into the parallel universe Ultimate Marvel imprint.{{cite web | url=http://www.marvel.com/rss/podcasts/Ult_SM_100_Bendis.mp3 | title=Marvel Comics podcast | access-date=2011-02-06}} An alternate Jessica consequentially appears as a senior at the Ultimate Peter Parker's high school in Ultimate Spider-Man #106, becoming a recurring supporting character in the series.

Midtown High student Jessica Campbell goes to school with Peter Parker, on whom she has a crush and is present when he is bitten by the irradiated spider which gives him his powers.

Jessica's father receives tickets for Disney World from his boss Tony Stark. On the way home, their car collides with a military convoy carrying radioactive chemicals. Her family is killed, and she spends several months in a coma. Upon waking, she is placed in an orphanage and adopted by the Jones family. Jessica later discovers that her radiation exposure granted her super strength, limited invulnerability, and flight.

Jessica's adoptive parents re-enroll her at Midtown High, where she is ostracized by her classmates, especially Flash Thompson. Peter Parker (who has since become Spider-Man and lost his Uncle Ben) senses in Jessica a kindred spirit—someone who has also lost her family due to a tragic circumstance. Jessica mistakes his kind attention for pity and lashes out at him.Bendis, Brian Michael (w). Alias #23. Marvel Comics. She later witnesses a fight between Spider-Man and the villain Sandman in her school. This inspires her to use her abilities for positive ends.The Amazing Spider-Man #600 (2009). Marvel Comics.

George Marston of Newsarama called Jessica Jones one of the "best female superheroes of all time," asserting, "Jessica Jones isn't your typical superhero – like her husband, Luke Cage, she doesn't even have a superhero codename that's stuck. But that's part of what makes her so great." Gavia Baker-Whitelaw of The Daily Dot referred to Jones as one "greatest female superheroes of all time" and "a truly modern subversion of the superhero genre".

Graeme Mcmillian of Wired stated, "The comic book that introduced Jessica Jones launched Marvel's "R-rated" Max imprint, finally letting fans know that their favorite superheroes did, in fact, know how to swear, they just felt very uncomfortable doing it. Taking full advantage of the freedoms offered by the imprint, creators Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos created Jones to be one of the company's most well-rounded female characters: flawed, bitter, self-destructive, and far more optimistic than she would ever allow anyone else to see. The roots of Jessica Jones are all here."{{Cite magazine |last=McMillan |first=Graeme |title=Read These Comics Before Watching Jessica Jones |url=https://www.wired.com/2015/11/jessica-jones-reading-list/ |magazine=Wired |language=en-US |issn=1059-1028 |access-date=2022-09-07}} Guillermo Kurten of Screen Rant ranked the Alias comic book series 5th in their "Brian Michael Bendis' best comic books" list, saying, "Alias was Bendis' gritty run alongside artist Michael Gaydos on superhero-turned-private investigator Jessica Jones.

Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave Jessica Jones #1 a grade of 8.8 out of 10. The issue features Bendis's writing and Gaydos' "heavy black lines and generally moody style," Schedeen writes. "The book has a vague noir quality, but also a humble slice-of-life one as well. This is a series that can showcase the shining heroes of the Marvel Universe and its most ordinary citizens. It's been a long time coming, but Jessica Jones has the solo book she deserves again. ...

Joe Ruggirello of IGN gave Jessica Jones #2 a grade of 8.9 out of 10, asserting, "It just feels right to have the Bendis/Gaydos version of Jessica Jones back ... for a series that seems to pick up right where we left off 12 years ago. ...

Chase Magnett of ComicBook.com gave Jessica Jones - Marvel Digital Original #1 a grade of 5 out of 5, saying, "Jessica Jones is in very good hands. This first, surprise issue nails everything that readers have come to want from the character. The dialogue is pitch perfect, taking readers on a tour of the Marvel universe with plenty of small jokes, affectionate exchanges, and banter. There is a great detective story that plays out like a Chandler novel with an excellent added touch of drawing out details with inset panels. Most of all, there is a lot of heart both in Jessica's attitude and the family she has built. There is simply a lot to like about this comic that serves as both an introduction and continuation of one of Marvel's best.

Jesse Schedeen of IGN included the Jessica Jones - Marvel Digital Original comic book series in their "Top Comics to Buy This Week" list in the week of October 29, 2019, stating, "Jessica Jones is one of the many major new characters Brian Bendis co-created during his long tenure at Marvel, and a heroine in need of a new steward now that Bendis has moved to DC. She found that in Kelly Thompson, the Marvel writer perhaps best suited to continue Jessica's troubled journey. For better or worse, Marvel elected to publish Thompson and Mattia De Lulis' Jessica Jones miniseries in digital-only form earlier this year. Whether it flew under the radar at the time or you simply prefer print to digital, now's your chance to see Jessica flourish under a new creative team."{{Cite web |last=Schedeen |first=Jesse |date=2018-10-29 |title=Top Comics to Buy This Week: Heroes in Crisis #2, Old Man Logan #50 and More |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/10/29/top-comics-to-buy-this-week-heroes-in-crisis-2-old-man-logan-50-and-more |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=IGN |language=en}}

Sam Stone of CBR.com called the Jessica Jones - Marvel Digital Original comic book series one of the "best Jessica Jones stories," asserting, "Arriving in 2018, Jessica Jones: Blind Spot was a three-issue Marvel Digital series by Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Lulis. This was a new team to take on the character, but they smartly kept the private investigation aspects of her story and added a new look. In this, Jessica investigated a serial killer in New York City killing women with powers. When someone framed Jessica, she went to Doctor Strange for help and the body count began to rise. This kept Jones at her street-level best, telling a hard-boiled detective story."{{Cite web |last=Stone |first=Sam |date=2019-06-16 |title=The Best Jessica Jones Stories (and Where to Buy Them) |url=https://www.cbr.com/best-jessica-jones-stories-where-buy/ |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=CBR |language=en-US}}

Peyton Hinckle of ComicsVerse wrote, "You can't really talk about Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter without talking about the art and, more specifically, the artist. Mattia De Iulis pulls out what might be his best work for this series. Realistic, yet distinctive, Iulis has a style that naturally lends itself to darker comics (like Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter). An artist with heavily stylized linework just wouldn't have given the series the same weight and sense of reality. Part of the reason why we feel like Jessica's life really is falling apart is because she has a relatable face. Iulis' work is so realistic that it almost feels like readers are peaking into Jessica's non-fictitious story. As emotions run high for Jessica, emotions run high for readers as well. The second artist, Filipe Andrade, penciled the fake reality scene, where Jessica briefly thinks she's an idyllic little housewife. Iulis' realistic style definitely wouldn't have worked for this portion of the story. Andrade's heavily stylized linework perfectly emphasizes the distance Jessica has from reality at this point in the plot. This series flew under a lot of comic fans' radar. Since it's an online-only series, it didn't get publicity from LCBS or an array of variant covers. It's not nearly as flashy as most of Marvel's recent publications but, quality wise, it's better. From the storyline to the art, this series excels in almost every way. If you've never read Jessica Jones, Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter is for you…and, honestly, if you've read tons of Jessica Jones' arcs, Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter is still for you. It's what so few comics are nowadays: complex, entertaining, and visually stunning. Don't miss out on it."{{Cite web |last=Hinckle |first=Peyton |date=April 5, 2019 |title=JESSICA JONES: PURPLE DAUGHTER Is the New Marvel Series You've Been Looking For |url=https://comicsverse.com/jessica-jones-purple-daughter-series/ |website=ComicsVerse}}

Christian Jones of Stardust gave Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter #1 a 9-star rating, saying, "Kelly Thompson expertly establishes the event that has torn Luke and Jessica's lives apart and the ensuing trauma of that. As a reader, you feel the doubt, the anger and the helplessness that these characters feel. As a mother, Jessica is placed in the most horrifying position that a parent can be placed in. Absolute and unconditional love for her child whilst having to face her worst nightmare every time she looks at her baby. Jessica Jones creator Brian Michael Bendis' great talent was humanising his characters, but Thompson has taken it to a whole other level. The artwork by Mattia de Lulis is simply wonderful. There's a photographic realism to his work that suits the story and characters perfectly. The characters are the focus of every panel with the background being less distinct unless it serves the scene. This allows the reader to be really drawn in by the story without becoming distracted by superfluous details. The use of colour, shading, and lighting is also used to the utmost effect, creating a truly convincing piece of neo-noir on the printed page. If Marvel Comics should ever revisit the Noir universe, a Jessica Jones caper set amongst seedy whiskey-soaked, smoke-filled bars in New York's criminal underworld is a must. After Brian Michael Bendis' triumphant run, Kelly Thompson's assured direction of Jessica Jones looks set to flourish. Bendis created a cynical, flawed, world-weary, reluctant superhero. It's exciting to see what facets Thompson will bring to one of Marvel Comics most interesting characters."{{Cite web |title=JESSICA JONES: PURPLE DAUGHTER #1 |url=https://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/jessica-jones-purple-daughter-1 |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=STARBURST Magazine |date=30 January 2019 |language=en-GB}}

Grace wright of Screen Rant called Jessica Jones: Blind Spot #1 a "brilliant new take", saying, "While Blind Spot is significant for a number of reasons, Thompson hits on one of the biggest in a letter at the end of the first issue: it's the first time Jessica Jones's original creative team, Bendis and Gaydos, have passed the torch to a new writer and artist in a solo book. Jessica Jones made her first appearance in Alias #1 almost two decades ago, and has been making expletive-filled waves in the Marvel Universe ever since. Jessica has certainly come a long way from her days begging for an audience at the front gates of the Avengers mansion, with her marriage to Luke Cage and the birth of their daughter, Dani Cage. Bendis and Gaydos have seen her through a number of trials and evolutions, but Thompson and De Iulis are ready to grab the character's reins and take her back to... a new sort of origin. Blind Spot successfully gives readers a new insight into Jessica Jones, without trodding on any of the character's development in years past. In fact, before one of Jessica's many haunting decisions reappears, she is more intently focused on her domestic life than any sort of imminent doom. Jessica seems to have grown, picking out the correctly-shaped cereal for her toddler, as opposed to whiskey for herself. While that isn't where Jessica is going to stay, it's a nice acknowledgment of Bendis and Gaydos' work, setting the tone for Thompson and De Iulis as they undertake the mighty feat of forging their own path in Jessica's story."{{Cite web |last=Wright |first=Grace |date=2020-01-17 |title=Review: JESSICA JONES: BLIND SPOT #1 Offers a Brilliant New Take (Again) |url=https://screenrant.com/jessica-jones-origin-blind-spot-marvel/ |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=Screen Rant |language=en-US}}

Hannah Rose of CBR.com called The Variants #1 an "intriguing first issue", stating, "Simone captures Jessica's essence well, balancing her hardened if heavy-handed cynicism with her vulnerability and humanity. The sequence where Jess tries on varying shades of lipstick under the watchful eye of the sales clerk is one of the best instances of this softer, more insecure, and human side of the otherwise badass and uncompromising character. Similarly, her more compassionate side is forced out by Daredevil as both hero and attorney, calling on her to assist one of his clients, a girl similarly manipulated by the Purple Man. Jess and Daredevil's relationship here is an uneasy one, their trust in one another is tested thanks to Daredevil's lie-detecting powers, yet the respect between them is plain as day. Powerhouse artist Phil Noto takes the reigns in Variants #1. His line art is elegant, smooth, fluid, and pretty to look at. He sticks to realistic body proportions with just enough stylistic liberty to keep everything easy on the eye and purely in the realm of fiction. He uses a soft, muted color palette with occasional washes of color, especially blue and fuschia. But, for the most part, he keeps things grounded with an appropriately sad, drab beige. Variants #1 demonstrates an excellent understanding of an often underutilized character, exploring her mindset and morals in the aftermath of a harrowing event. Unfortunately, its use of the multiverse leaves viewers wanting more. Time will tell if these different versions of Jessica's character and the alternate worlds they inhabit can be given the attention they deserve."{{Cite web |last=Rose |first=Hannah |date=2022-06-29 |title=REVIEW: Marvel's The Variants #1 |url=https://www.cbr.com/marvel-variants-1-comic-review/ |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=CBR |language=en-US}}

Jenna Anderson of ComicBook.com gave The Variants #1 a grade of 5 out of 5, asserting, "The Variants #1 is not only a beautifully-constructed new look at the Marvel multiverse that fans know and love, it's a truly stunning and revolutionary new chapter in the ongoing story of Jessica Jones. Gail Simone's script brings the heartfelt, but world-weary tone that Jessica uniquely embodies, while laying the groundwork for a fascinating new twist on doppelgangers from another universe. When coupled with Phil Noto's effortlessly cool and timeless art, The Variants is an absolute knockout for Marvel Comics, and I could not be more excited to see what else it has in store."{{Cite web |title=Comic Book Reviews for This Week: 6/29/2022 |url=https://comicbook.com/comics/news/new-comic-reviews-dc-marvel-image-june-29-2022/ |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=Comics |date=29 June 2022 |language=en}}
