Alias hits its stride,
By
This review is from: Alias Vol. 3: The Underneath (Paperback)
In this volume, containing issues 10 & 16-21, Bendis finally makes full use of the promise of Alias - exploring the seamy underside of the Marvel universe. The plot centers on Jessica's pursuit of the girl recently known as Spider-Woman, after said arachnid breaks into her apartment. We also have appearances by the first Spider-Woman, Luke Cage, and a hilarious cameo by Speedball.As always, Bendis does a tremendous job of balancing the drama and mystery with Jessica's self-loathing inner monologue. Stronger than the second volume, this is where Alias seems to be really hitting its stride; too bad the fourth volume will be the last.

Strong Story, Strong Art,
By Paige Turner "Paige" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alias Vol. 3: The Underneath (Paperback)
This volume of Alias is outstanding. The artwork is amazing, the character development deep as always, and even the story is interesting. The way the artist plays with panels and layout is powerful and unique. Much of the art feels painted rather than inked, with elements of impressionism and surrealism. After reading the first three volumes of Alias, we know the character Jessica as well as any in any comic. The authors tie her into the Marvel "Universe" in a very compelling way. She is a former "superhero" but does not parade around in tights. What a refreshing spin on the superhero genre. Definitely the strongest of the three in the collection so far.

Graphic SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alias Vol. 3: The Underneath (Paperback)
The ex-Jewel, Jessica Jones, begins to come out the other side, with some help and shagging from Ant-Man, Scott Laing. Whether Ms. Marvel and Spider-Woman are more of a hindrance than a help to someone with problems is a very good quesiton.
Then there is also Luke Cage, Power-Man to deal with, and how to protect another hero in the bargain, as part of her new private detective shtick.
