Jessica Jones Vol. 1: Uncaged!<\/a><\/em> (2017) Brian Michael Bendis, David W. Mack, Michael Gaydos<\/p>\n

\"Jessica<\/a>Several notes here:<\/p>\n

1. I know nothing about Jessica Jones. I never watched Alias. I don’t follow the Avengers. <\/p>\n

I picked this up because Jessica Jones is a female private investigator and that piqued my curiosity.<\/p>\n

2. I have the digital version of this. <\/p>\n

As much as I love digital the digital word, I do not love digital comics. Even wearing reading glasses, I have to zoom in to read all the text, which means I don’t see what is going on, on the page as a whole, which means I miss more than I do normally when reading a comic.<\/p>\n

So, no background on the character and in a format I’m not that fond it, so take that into consideration as to my review.<\/p>\n

The story opens with Jessica in prison. I have no idea why<\/em> she is in prison, just that she is being let out.<\/p>\n

\"Jessica<\/a><\/p>\n

We also learn that she is a private investigator, she isn’t that good at having super powers, and she’s on the outs with her husband, Nic Cage, because she’s hidden her child. (Even I have heard if Nic Cage.)<\/p>\n

She goes to her office and almost immediately is hired for a case: a woman doesn’t understand what is happening with her husband, who is claiming she isn’t his wife, that he actually has another wife–and a daughter–in a different timeline. So she takes the case.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As the story unfolds, we eventually learn where Jessica’s daughter is, why she was in prison, and a whole other bunch of things. <\/p>\n

Including that Nic Cage has a temper, and apparently a lot of his friends don’t actually like Jessica. In fact, a lot of people don’t seem to like Jessica. That bit made me like her more, as I tried to understand both her anger, and what was going on with her.<\/p>\n

\"Jessica<\/a><\/p>\n

I slept before writing this review, because I wasn’t sure quite how I felt about the story. Upon waking I decided that I wanted to know more about the story–despite my confusion about so much of what was happening. <\/p>\n

So I’ll rate this as a like, despite the issues I had with the story.<\/p>\n
