About the author

A comic book writer and erstwhile artist. He has won critical acclaim (including five Eisner Awards) and is one of the most successful writers working in mainstream comics. For over eight years Bendis’s books have consistently sat in the top five best sellers on the nationwide comic and graphic novel sales charts.

Though he started as a writer and artist of independent noir fiction series, he shot to stardom as a writer of Marvel Comics' superhero books, particularly Ultimate Spider-Man.

Bendis first entered the comic world with the "Jinx" line of crime comics in 1995. This line has spawned the graphic novels Goldfish, Fire, Jinx, Torso (with Marc Andreyko), and Total Sell Out. Bendis is writing the film version of Jinx for Universal Pictures with Oscar-winner Charlize Theron attached to star and produce.

Bendis’s other projects include the Harvey, Eisner, and Eagle Award-nominated Powers (with Michael Avon Oeming) originally from Image Comics, now published by Marvel's new creator-owned imprint Icon Comics, and the Hollywood tell-all Fortune and Glory from Oni Press, both of which received an "A" from Entertainment Weekly.

Bendis is one of the premiere architects of Marvel's "Ultimate" line: comics specifically created for the new generation of comic readers. He has written every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man since its best-selling launch, and has also written for Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate X-Men, as well as every issue of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Origin and Ultimate Six.

Brian is currently helming a renaissance for Marvel’s AVENGERS franchise by writing both New Avengers and Mighty Avengers along with the successful ‘event’ projects House Of M, Secret War, and this summer’s Secret Invasion.

He has also previously done work on Daredevil, Alias, and The Pulse.

It feels like we're working up to something good.
Not that volume 3 isn't pretty fantastic on its own, but there's just this feeling that Bendis is about to pull the curtain back for the big reveal soon.



Ok, so in #10 Jessica pulls one over on J. Jonah Jameson after he hires her to find out Spider-man's identity. That issue is written in script form with pretty watercolor art and was well worth the read. Also, the story plays into what happens in the main storyline of this volume.



I loved the way Bendis addressed the fact that Spider-Woman is a detective named Jessica (Drew). I've gotten confused over this in the past, and I can't imagine that I'm the only one.
And using that confusion to introduce the two characters was just perfect, in my opinion.



Anyway, this was a mini welcome to the SpiderVerse kind of arc, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you aren't acquainted with the plethora of web-slingers out there, all of these ladies might seem a bit weird, but you don't really have to have a lot of prior knowledge to get the gist of the story because even Jessica (Jones) is a bit bewildered.



Check this one out if you get the chance. Good stuff!

The thing about being a Marvel fan is that I’ve been reading their comics off-and-on since I was a kid in the ‘70s, usually see their movies in the theaters a couple of times each, and watch all their TV shows. (Not just the Netflix ones either. I’m talking both Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter.) Yet there can still be a moment while I’m reading one of their books that I'll scratch my head and wonder who the hell Mattie Franklin is and when exactly was there a third Spider-Woman? *sigh* Well, that’s what Wikipedia is for.

Everyone’s favorite ex-superhero turned private detective crosses paths with superhero hatin’ newspaper publisher J. Jonah Jameson. At first he tries to hire Jessica to find out Spider-Man’s secret identity and after that doesn’t work out like he wants JJJ is mightily pissed at JJ. That complicates matter when Jessica later discovers that Jameson’s adopted daughter, Mattie, is a minor superhero and in terrible trouble. On the personal front Jessica is still dating Scott Lang (a/k/a Ant-Man), but her secrets and his hesitation about her particular brand of crazy may trainwreck the relationship before it really has a chance to get started.

Alias continues to stand out as being a part of the Marvel universe, but also apart from it. Jessica keeps getting sucked into superhero business despite her best efforts to stay away from cases involving people in tights, and her position on the fringes gives us a new angle to look at all of stories that usually fall through the cracks. It’s also one of the most mature comics I’ve seen from Marvel with sex, profanity, and adult themes with subjects like drug abuse and rape dealt with directly and far more frankly than you’d ever see in of most of their titles.

I particularly liked the first issue in which the entire story of JJJ hiring Jessica and what happens afterwards is told in a unique way. A couple of larger panels are on each page and instead of dialogue balloons or captions the dialogue is in a type face font placed at the edges. This gives you a vibe that you’re looking at photos and a transcripts of conversations so it’s like you’re reading a case file. It’s one of the most clever and offbeat playing with the typical comic book format that I’ve seen.

Son unas cuatro estrellas un poco más flojas que en los anterior tomos, pero ahora explico por qué he decido darle esta nota.

En Lo oculto, el tercer tomo de la saga Jessica Jones, encontramos una trama de misterio respecto a Spiderwoman y su identidad. Me ha gustado mucho la introducción de otros nuevos superhéroes, el uso del dibujo en algunas ocasiones (tiene un par de escenas que destacan mucho en cuanto a estilo) y aunque los diálogos han sido más flojos, visualmente es una pieza mucho más chocante.

Lo que más me ha gustado sin duda ha sido la ya clara evolución de Jessica Jones. Desde el primer tomo al final de este ha sufrido tantos cambios y el lector ha descubierto tantas cosas, que ya es un personaje completamente redondo. Y ese final... Uff.

En definitiva, es una saga que me está gustando mucho y la cual estoy devorando. Te mantiene en vilo todo el rato y tiene un guion muy bueno. ¡En serio, leedla!

[Bradley · Rating 5 out of 5]

J. J. gets a nice role in these, and god I love what Jessica does to him. :)

Never read anything about the Spider-Women before, any incarnation, so this is all new to me. It's just a shame that the kid had to be such a damsel for so much of the story, not that Jessica ain't a hell of a good knight, of course. :)

I'm loving the slow reveals. Some characters like to be out there and be free to understand, but not Jessica. No, no. Not her. :) Damn the tights. Can't believe she poo-poo'd on She-Hulk, though. The temerity!

[Sesana · Rating 5 out of 5]

Without a doubt, the best volume so far. This would be a must-read if only for the first issue: Jessica meets JJJ, and cons him into paying her $200 an hour to read to orphans. And it's glorious. I read it two days ago and I'm still laughing. One of the single best issues of anything I've ever read. Even if the rest of the book sucked, I'd probably still give the whole four stars on the strength of that one single issue.

But the rest of the book does not in any way, shape, or form suck. It's about Mattie Franklin, Spider-Woman III. And you don't have to be attached to her, or even know she existed, to get caught up in her story. I didn't. And I still found myself every bit as concerned for her as Jessica. As well I should have been, because what's happened to her is truly horrible. Yes, it's something that could only happen to a super in a super world, but Bendis wrote it with the proper parallels to what could happen to a young girl in the real world to give it a real world punch. Mattie is being used to produce Mutant Growth Hormone, but the parallels to coerced prostitution are very deliberate, and written horribly well. There's a definite resolution at the end of the book, but there are serious unanswered questions left, too. I suspect Bendis will answer them, but I almost wouldn't mind if he didn't. That nagging creepiness wouldn't be a bad thing to carry away from Alias.

I also want to say how much I like Scott Lang in this book. And I like him with Jessica. He's a cool guy, very compatible with her, and their relationship, while not without stumbling points, is very much between two people who like and respect each other. Very cool.

[Paz · Rating 5 out of 5]

''And what did she look like?
JJ: Like Spider-Man with little tits. It was creepy, Scott.
SL: I hate those female versions of already established male--
JJ: Ugh-- I know. Like She-Hulk.
SL: Jennifer's cool.
JJ: Whatever.''

4.5 Stars
Alias, Vol. 3 collects issues 10, 16-21. When I picked up the second volume I was a little angry 'cause why wasn't issue 10 there, huh? Yeah, I get it now. What a great, amazing issue and it fits in the overall storyline here.

Now, issue 10 was a different experience. It reads like a script, without describing actions, it is just text, or well, conversations between J. Jonah Jameson, Ben Urich and Jessica Jones. There are some illustrations that paint the feel of the scene and what can I say? It was fantastic. It felt like a scene from an independent movie, it was dialogue driven, it was perfect writing by Bendis. See, JJJ decides to hire Jessica to unmask and reveal the true identity of Spider-man. Thing is, dude lacks a lot of social skills and ends up digging his own grave trying to get Jessica's help. This is one of my favorite issues ever, I believe. The way Jessica handles the job, it's funny, smart and just brilliant.

I don't really wanna spoil the entire plot of this book, because in my opinion this is the best volume so far. I'll just say this time Jessica is looking for a missing, younger superhero and well, it feels real. The world is a scary place sometimes and Brian is not afraid to bring some parallels of reality to his fictional, superhero world. There are some awesome, badass cameos, and some great dark sense of humour.
This world is gritty, mature, twisted and extremely fascinating. Gosh I loved pretty much everything from the start. (There's a scene in the end with Speedball that messed up what could have been an amazing, climatic scene. So, yeah that took half a star.)

Are you at Scott Lang's house? Are you shtupping Ant-Man?
Sorry I gave you crap before. I just-- I mean, Ant- Man?

Jessica and Scott's relationship I love. It's awkward, it's funny and their relationship is so miserable at times, but I just love this take. Like I've said before, Bendis is a genius when it comes to writing and exploring the ugly, bad side of our beloved heroes. It's utterly fascinating.

It saddens me knowing that I only have one volume left of what I'm starting to consider one of my favorite comic series ever. This run is a brilliant character study and I wish the next season of Netflix's Jessica Jones can bring some of the humor, of the cleverness that this series has in abundance.

This was good!!!

[Scarlet Cameo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Este es probablemente el arco más interesante de Jessica Jones hasta ahora. Con una misión que cambiará su vida en muchos aspectos queda claro el poco glamour con el que Jessica desarrolla su trabajo y lo poco alejada que se encuentra del mundo de las capas.

Con una evolución de personaje que se nota a todas luces, se le ve más segura, mejor parada tanto en lo personal como en lo profesional, más lista y más astuta, pero no indenme. Finalmente la vemos con una interacción completa con otro personaje, donde no sólo están ahí para acompañarla sino que nos encontramos con una historia llena de compañerismo, trabajo en equipo, ver como Jessica Jones y Jessica Drew (a.k.a. Spiderwoman) tienen interacción, primero agresiva por un deseo de proteger, y después de dos iguales empeñadas en salvar a Mattie Franklin (a.k.a. la tercera Spiderwoman); en ambas historias queda expuesta (de nuevo) la vena super heróica de J.J., pero con un poco más de espectacularidad, encontramos mayor uso de su habilidades y la vemos defenderse ante la amenaza.

El otro aspecto que eleva este volumen es el misterio: el encontrar en que situacion esta Mattie esta tremendamente unido a encontrar a quienes están creando la droga que da poderes a otras personas hace que este volumen se aleje un poco del tono que los dos volumenes anteriores traían, se torno un poco más común, pero la manera en que exploran todo lo que incluye hace que no caiga como una historia de superheroes encontrandose más. Pocas veces vemos realmente como investigan, que buscan y quienes se involucran en estas historias, además de como se cambia la percepción de aquellos que los odian desde una perspectiva tan cercana como aquí, para ejemplo tenemos el volumen anterior que tras cerrar el misterio no sabemo que vino despues para los involucrados.

En conjunto creo que esta historia nos ubica bastante bien con quien es Jessica Jones, de lo que es capaz y porque merece ser admirada sin ser imitada.

Everybody's a smart ass here in Bendis' world:



This is actually a good story, some setbacks and emotional investment and not a ton of emotional jerking around - just grey people doing their second-best to muddle through doing something so they don't feel like a complete loser. Ain't positivity grand?

I'm pretty OK with this volume. Even the deformed art.

You want to know what I think is the best part of this book? You do, don't you? (No, not you. Well, probably none of you, but play along with me eh?)

JJJ. Mr. J. Jonah Jameson, blowhard publisher of the Daily Bugle for nigh-on 50 years, and still yelling:



Bendis gives this guy a dimension I probably never wanted, but couldn't imagine not seeing once it's there:



And then he comes back to the ass-kickers:



and the smartasses, cause that's what we came to wallow in:



(BTW, that was the first time Jessica Jones made friends with Jessica Drew, and my heart was all aflutter)

I would read an entire volume that was just Jessica scamming J. Jonah Jameson, for the record, but the rest of the plot was killer also. <3

Something about this made it very obvious Bendis doesn’t like women.

[Max's Comic Reviews and Lists · Rating 3 out of 5]

”We have a page one problem shut up!”
Aight so the third volume in Bendis’ esteemed Alias is definitely the darkest. Holy shit some gruesome as shit stuff happens in this book man. This is the first storyline I can see some actual crazy ass creativity. This is probably my least favourite volume so far, but it was still a very very entertaining story that features a very moody version of our main protagonist.

Jessica Jones is a little unhinged in this one guys. And understandably so, but Jessica seemed to have a slight disregard for some people’s feelings. But y’know that happens to everyone once in a while, especially when it comes to the shitty situation she is put in. This aspect of her character pushes the fantastic humanization that Bendis has perfected. As I said in my last review, I actually started to care about Jessica Jones’ character in book 2. So it definitely helped to have an emotional attachment.

This story arc revolves around Mattie Franklin. The most recent incarnation of Spider-Woman who is gone crazy with drugs, sex, and just straight up the wrong group of people. She also has a connection with J. Jonah Jameson. And just like in Bendis’ Daredevil run, Jameson is really painted as a complete dirtbag. Like almost exaggeratedly villainized. I will admit it took maybe 3 issues to get invested in the arc. Especially when the first arc was torturous to get through. I like David Mack’s artwork for the most part, but what the hell is wrong with speech bubbles. This isn’t Marville #3. Why have the text on the side of the page so its basically like you’re reading a script. If I don’t see the visual representation of the conversations, its less interesting. I will never know why issue 1 was made like that. Maybe to be artsy. The arc as a whole is very entertaining and well structured. Dark as shit but entertaining. The book isn’t without problems though, so I gotta mention those.

There are a few loose ends that aren’t tied up in a nice perfect bow like I’d them to be. Something with Matt Murdock where I was like “what the fook?!” And a little subplot with the annoying ass kid who keeps bothering Jessica throughout the series. And ALRIGHT. I’ve harped on Michael Gaydos’ art for a while now. I like it, but I cant ever stop thinking that it could look better, more polished, and NOT LIKE A F**KING COPY AND PASTE OBSESSION! WHY do so many identical panels get used again and again? I have made my piece with the pages where Jessica is listening to someone info dump. I get that. But there is literally a panel used from VOLUME 1! LAAAAAAZZZY. It’s unseeable and annoying now and I really hope this doesn’t happen as much in volume 4. In this volume especially there is a ton of gutter loss. Yes I am talking about how the physical book was made. I’m just saying, it was very annoying to actually miss dialogue because it was slap bang in the middle of the fucking crease.

In the end I did really enjoy this Alias arc. It wasn’t as good as Come Home but definitely fitting with the character and dark as hell. It also brings the character to new places that I thought further explored how much of a fleshed out character she is. Most of my problems with the book are technical things. Like the structure of an issue, the art, and the physical book. So a definite recommend. Letter Grade: (B+)

[Dave Schaafsma · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favorite of the three volumes thus far, which is I guess an argument for reading a whole series! Strong women characters, one of them, Jessica Jones, a former superhero now private investigator, and two current superheroes, one of them in dire peril… Very gritty, with plenty to keep you turning the pages. There's a complicated plot involving a newspaper editor who hates superheroes who hires Jessica to find out the true identity of Spiderman, who gets punk'd by Jessica in the process, and this editor also finds himself involved in the Spiderman identity plot in sup rising ways… or maybe not surprising if you like and come to expect the twists and turns of graphic crime novels that involve superheroes… The action is interesting, sometimes pretty successfully scary in places… great gritty and clever contemporary dialogue, though some of it does recall earlier noir eras with specific references to Philip Marlowe and others. Entertaining stuff!

[Sud666 · Rating 2 out of 5]

I have always been a fan of Bendis. He has written some damn good comics. The two star rating is not a result of bad writing. It's a direct result of a very simple concept-I just do not like Jessica Jones. I didn't like her in the tv shows and I don't like her in the comics. I don't like the fact that she is super powered but doesn't ever act that way. I have no idea what her story is, I have no idea why she is the way she is and I have no idea why she is so goddamn annoying. If your "perfect" woman is a borderline alcoholic, chain-smoking, foul-mouthed, head-case then ummm yes..you will like Jessica Jones. Me? I'm not a fan. Hell for the longest time I thought she was Spider-Woman. She's not. Jessica Drew is actually cool and a super-hero that people know. Strangely enough she (Drew) makes an appearance in this issue.

But while I truly don't like her character-the comic itself is pretty good. The first part of the comic which is written like a play was actually clever and well done. There is clever writing and dialogue all throughout this comic and I give Bendis due credit. There are parts that made me smile and some truly good Bendis humor. Sadly the annoyance of having to listen to Jessica Jones whine/bitch/moan/pout is annoying. The conversation/scene with Scot Lang, Ant Man, was down right painful. Seriously Ant-Man? You couldn't find another woman than this annoying basket case? really? After that truly annoying part where they start having sex, just to stop so that JJ can whine/bitch/moan/pout again and then she gets mad at him for wanting to talk...it was seriously annoying. Again...it's not Bendis-it's Jessica Jones. Good story (sort of-not a whole lot is happening), great and witty dialogue are all the positive parts of this comic. The ONLY downside is Jessica Jones herself. For my money- give me Jessica Drew. The art? A hearty meh.

[James DeSantis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Man I do not want this to end. It's so f'ing good.

So Jessica comes home one day to meet Mattie who is this girl dressed up in a Spider-man costume (with itty bitty tits as Jessica says) and just jumps out of a window and is gone. Jessica gets down to finding out who she is and what's happening and it's truly fucking sad and interesting throughout. I read this in two sitting one I could have read it in one. It never misses a beat.

Ant-man (Scott Lang) and Jessica relationship is the only thing that feels odd here at times. There dialog is the only one not to feel natural for me. Maybe I'm just too use to Luke and Jessica to really let it flow but I just didn't love their moments. THe ending was sweet to a otherwise depressing chapter but I couldn't get behind the fight with them.

Saying that this is as good as volume 1 and 2 if not slightly better and flowed nearly perfect in mystery and emotion. I truly will miss this series and could see why Bendis was so highly regarded back in the day.

[Lucas Savio · Rating 5 out of 5]

Série sem defeitos do início ao fim e com uma conclusão de fato acertivo... arco com maior carga emocional com relação a jessica e do período mais difícil para ela e explica de uma forma corretíssima em relação ao período de trevas dela e com o spin-off what if muito bacana também.

[Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

'JJ' rebounds - although I don't mean to make Vol. 2 sound that bad, but Vol. 1 was better - to work another unusual missing-person case, this time back on the mean streets of the Big Apple, with some unlikely connections and assistance. While still keeping one foot in a Chandleresque atmosphere (and our godfather of hard-boiled P.I. fiction is referenced by name in dialogue - love it!) I'd argue she now also enters into some Robert Crais-style plotting as well. Bonus - an opening short-story, featuring J. Jonah Jameson, that has a wonderful pay-off.

[Tiago Meira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mais uma excelente história.

No outro arco, Bendis trabalhou com o analogias a discriminações sofridas por minorias residentes em cidades ultraconservadoras dos EUA.

Nesse arco, ele vai fundo e explora temas tão delicados quanto. Vemos uma espécie de tráfico humano com abuso sexual e exploração corporal. De novo ele se utiliza de analogias, vemos aqui uma pessoa que tem poderes ter seu corpo invadido a benefício de outras pessoas, para apenas satisfazer seus desejos efêmeros e doentios. Não é mostrado explicitamente o estupro, mas vemos algo parecido acontecer e tão horrível quanto.

Bendis também ressalta, ao trabalhar com protagonistas femininas, e pelo fato da vítima abusada ser uma super heroína no seu collant de mulher aranha, a hiper-sexualização dessas personagens, que, assim como na história, sempre (ou quase sempre) havia um homem por trás arquitetando tudo (a equipe criativa -na vida real- ou o cafetão na hq).

O contexto é mt interessante, visto que a crítica de Bendis é sobre essa estética desenvolvida principalmente nos anos 90/00, algo totalmente coerente com a época da publicação da hq. Inclusive nessas histórias as personagens femininas não vão nesse viés sexualizado, pelo contrário, elas se mostram conscientes disso e evitam essa sexualização.

Uma ótima história.

In “Alias: Jessica Jones, Vol. 3”, Jessica manages to royally piss off Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson (although that’s not hard to do), until a girl named Mattie, dressed as Spider-woman, shows up in her bathroom one night and scares the shit out of her. Scott Lang (a.k.a Ant-man) and Jessica are doing the nasty, until Jessica tells him to stop so she can tell him a lot of flashback stuff that involves some old lady named Madame Web that can read minds and sees a lot of dark, horrible stuff in Jessica’s head. So, Jessica goes undercover as a slutty broad to a nightclub where she discovers a strung-out Mattie being used by a douchebag named Denny Haynes in a most vile manner. Then, guest star Jennifer Connelly shows up as the original Spider-woman, and she and Jessica go out to bust some heads. Also, there’s this weird flashback scene in which Jessica is making out with some shadow and the Avengers show up to fight her. Or something like that. Then Scott Lang shows up again. Writer Brian Michael Bendis doles out a few hints as to Jessica’s secret that she’s hiding, but it’s still not enough to get a clear picture. Must keep on reading...

Necesitaría una tarde entera en un sitio con aire acondicionado para explicar por qué me gusta tanto Carol Danvers si, a la vez, casi cada tebeo que leo suyo me enfado porque siento que el personaje no está bien llevado.

En especial no me gusta nada cómo Bendis escribe a Carol. Y, al caso, no me gusta nada su idea de las relaciones de amistad entre mujeres.

Simultáneamente cada uno de estos tomos de Jessica Jones lo estoy disfrutando como una buena bebida fresquita, como una noche con brisa y una tarde sin sudar. Sí, se nota que esta reseña la estoy haciendo en verano. De los tres tomos que llevo este ha sido el que más me ha gustado y menos mal que ya saqué el siguiente de la biblioteca ¡porque llega el hombre púrpura! Se le huele, se le siente.

[Dev · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is just really good. The first volume was kind of walking the line with the 'hey we're allowed to be edgy and adult now' thing, but by this point it really is a perfect blend of the urban detective stuff and the superhero stuff. Also Bendis is just really good at dialogue and I'm impressed with the way the artist reuses panels a lot but does the layout in such a way that it actually enhances the experience [in my opinion] instead of taking away from it.
