When Jessica searches for a missing hero, what dark secret will she uncover?
This is not the ideal place to jump onto Alias. However, this is outstanding work by Bendis, possibly the best pure writing anywhere in the industry and should not be missed. This entire story will make a tremendous, and very adult, collected edition. Read Full Review
A pretty enjoyable issue, and it certainly stands up as the strongest issue of this current arc, as it advances the story quite nicely, and it offers up a pretty solid cliffhanger to ensure my return for the next issue. This issue also does some nice work detailing the idea that Jessica is a collection of self-doubts, and her inability to control her drinking once again proves to be her achilles heel. In fact, I'm starting to wonder if Brian Michael Bendis might be overplaying this character flaw, as it seems like every arc features at least one moment where Jessica gets plastered, and her ability to function takes a serious nosedive.

Good, but the ending... What the hell?
Jessica’s narration and dialogue give her so much depth and make her one of Marvel’s most well-rounded characters. Jessica’s confrontation with Denny and his gang is pretty boring but the narration, art, and dialogue make up for it
Its still a great book but not as good as a lot of the other issues have been. The art and dialogue are still very good as they pretty much always are but this issue just doesn't quite feel like I am watching a film unfold before my eyes like most of this series has.
