Meet Jessica Jones, a former costumed super hero who, in fact, stunk at it. With powers unremarkable in comparison to the great icons of Marvel, Jessica never found her niche. But once she hung up her cape, she was surprised at how quickly she fell out of the spandex loop. Sure, she may hang out with some of the Avengers socially, but she\`s not welcome in Avengers Mansion. And she feels the rejection. She's self-destructive, drinks too much, and has a huge inferiority complex. And did we mention that she's now a Private Investigator who specializes in cases of the super human variety? So if you're thirsty for the film noir feel and complex characterization, grab a stool at the bar!

Following the startling revelations at the end of last issue, Jessica follows a trail of heartache and murder...leading to help from a reluctant ally. Plus, another wrenching encounter with Luke Cage, Hero for Hire!

Red-hot writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos continue their gritty tale of Jessica Jones, a former costumed crimefighter who's now a private investigator specializing in superhuman cases! The cops want Jessica for murder, but she didn't do it. The trick is proving it, and that'll take the help of an attorney who's well known to Marvel readers! Let's just say that this lawyer has no fear!

As Jessica follows a trail of murder and frame-ups to Washington DC, she learns that the conspiracy reaches farther than she could ever have imagined! What will crack first: the case...or her?

Jessica Jones' life is no picnic: she's got no luck with men, her past life as a super hero keeps coming back to haunt her, and her private investigator business takes her to such exciting places as internet chatrooms. But an encounter with a new client promises to turn her life completely upside-down!

How do you find a man who doesn't want to be found, especially when he's a former super hero sidekick? For Jessica Jones, the trail leads to a New York nightclub...and a surprising encounter!
