Randell’s Nerdy Things here…
After getting hooked (again) on Jessica Jones, I finally decided it was time to do something I’ve been meaning to do for years…
I added her first and second appearances to my collection. 💜
We’re talking about Alias #1 and #2 — the foundation of one of Marvel’s most grounded, human, and emotionally raw characters.
What makes these books special isn’t just the “key” status.
It’s the tone.
Alias didn’t play it safe.
It didn’t sugarcoat anything.
It treated Jessica like a real person dealing with real trauma, real mistakes, and real consequences.
And Bendis + Gaydos absolutely nailed it.
These covers alone tell you everything:
– Gritty
– Intimate
– Uncomfortable (in the right way)
– Honest
No spandex glamour. No fake heroics. Just storytelling.
Watching the show reminded me why Jessica Jones matters so much — and why these early issues deserve their respect in any serious collection.
Sometimes it takes revisiting a character on screen to remind you why you fell in love with them on the page.
This was one of those moments.
Proud to finally have these locked in. 🖤
Support your LCS, support your local artist and keep collecting.
