Meet Jessica Jones. Once upon a time, she was a costumed super hero -- but not a very good one. Her powers were unremarkable compared to the amazing abilities of the costumed icons that populate the Marvel Universe. In a city of Marvels, she never found her niche. The self-destructive would-be Avenger is now the owner and sole employee of Alias Investigations -- a small, private-investigation firm specializing in superhuman cases. When she uncovers the potentially explosive secret of one hero's true identity, Jessica's life immediately becomes expendable. But her wit, charm and intelligence just may help her survive another day. Thrust into the midst of a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels, has Jessica burned too many bridges to turn to old friends for help?

I'd heard good things about Jessica Jones as a character but I was kind of scared to read any of her comics after reading the Wikipedia article about her... her backstory is SO GRIM. But now there's a Netflix show coming out so I was like FINE I'll READ the comics. And! I really enjoyed this. And! This volume doesn't go into her super grim backstory!
Note: I asked our adult graphic novel buyer to get this because the cover says EXPLICIT CONTENT and indeed, I would not recommend this for the teen GN collection for cussing and sexing and stuff.
