'''Jessica Campbell Jones-Cage''',<ref>''The New Avengers'' #50 (April 2009). Marvel Comics.</ref> professionally known as '''Jessica Jones''', is a [[superheroine]] appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]]. The character was created by writer [[Brian Michael Bendis]] and artist [[Michael Gaydos]] and first appeared in ''[[Alias (comics)|Alias]]'' #1 (November 2001) as part of Marvel's [[MAX (comics)|Max]], an [[Imprint (trade name)|imprint]] for more mature content, and was later [[Retroactive continuity|retroactively established]] to have [[first appearance|first appeared]] in ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' #4 (June 1963) in the [[Silver Age of Comic Books]] as an originally unnamed classmate of [[Spider-Man|Peter Parker]], created by writer-editor [[Stan Lee]] and artist [[Steve Ditko]]. Within the context of Marvel's [[Marvel Universe|shared universe]], Jones is a former superhero who becomes the owner (and usually sole employee) of Alias Private Investigations. Bendis envisioned the series as centered on [[Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew)|Jessica Drew]] and only decided to create Jones once he realized that the main character he was writing had a distinct-enough voice and background to differentiate her from Drew, though deciding to still name the character after her on the basis of how "two [people] can have the same first name".<ref name="CBR" />
Jones has since starred in three [[ongoing series]]: ''Alias'', ''[[The Pulse (comics)|The Pulse]]'', and ''[[Jessica Jones (comic book)|Jessica Jones]]''. ''Alias'' ran for 28 issues before ending in 2004, while ''The Pulse'' ran for 14 issues from April 2004 to May 2006
[[Krysten Ritter]] portrays [[Jessica Jones (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|the character]] in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU) streaming television series ''[[Jessica Jones (TV series)|Jessica Jones]]'' and ''[[The Defenders (miniseries)|The Defenders]]'', with [[Elizabeth Cappuccino]] portraying a young Jessica in the [[Jessica Jones

=== Early years ===
{{Main|Alias (comics){{!}}''Alias'' (comics)}}
As Jewel, Jones has a fairly uneventful superhero career until she intervenes in a disturbance at a restaurant involving Zebediah Killgrave, the [[Purple Man]]. Killgrave uses his power of [[Brainwashing|mind control]] to place Jones under his command, psychologically torturing her and forcing her to aid his criminal schemes.<ref>[[Bendis, Brian Michael]] (w). ''Alias'' #25. Marvel Comics.</ref> After Killgrave sends her to kill [[Daredevil (Marvel Comics character)|Daredevil]] at the [[Avengers Mansion]], Jones is rescued by [[Carol Danvers]], the only Avenger who actually knows her.<ref name=A26>Bendis, Brian Michael (w). ''Alias'' #26.

''Alias'' #28. Marvel Comics.</ref> During this time, Jones develops a brief romantic relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. agent [[Clay Quartermain]].<ref name=A26 />
Due to the traumatic violation of her mind by Killgrave and the fact that she was barely noticed missing for eight months, a demoralized and depressed Jones gives up her costumed superhero life.<ref>Bendis, Brian Michael (w). ''Alias'' #25–26. Marvel Comics.</ref> She briefly adopts a darker identity as the Knightress and interrupts a crime meeting between the [[Owl (Marvel Comics)|Owl]] and a [[made man|mafioso]], through which she meets up with fellow superhero [[Luke Cage]]. After defeating the Owl, she and Cage develop a lasting friendship.<ref name=Pulse14>Bendis, Brian Michael (w). ''Pulse'' #14. Marvel Comics.</ref> No longer a superhero, Jones opens a private detective agency. Longtime friend Carol Danvers sets Jones up with Scott Lang (the second [[Ant-Man (Scott Lang)|Ant-Man]]), and the two date for several months. She also has an off-and-on affair with Cage.<ref>Bendis, Brian Michael (w). ''[[Alias (comics)|Alias]]''. Marvel Comics.</ref>

{{Main|The Pulse (comics){{!}}''The Pulse'' (comics)}}
Jones takes a leave from the detective business and joins the staff of the ''[[Daily Bugle]]'' newspaper as a superhero correspondent and consultant, becoming a main character of the comic book ''[[The Pulse (comics)|The Pulse]]'' and a contributor to the same-name fictional newspaper supplement within. A pregnant Jones is attacked by the [[Green Goblin]] after the ''Bugle'' reported that he was secretly industrialist Norman Osborn. In response, Cage retaliates, and Osborn is exposed as the Goblin upon his defeat and incarceration.

Chase Magnett of ''[[ComicBook.com]]'' gave ''Jessica Jones - Marvel Digital Original'' #1 a grade of 5 out of 5, saying, "Jessica Jones is in very good hands. This first, surprise issue nails everything that readers have come to want from the character. The dialogue is pitch perfect, taking readers on a tour of the Marvel universe with plenty of small jokes, affectionate exchanges, and banter. There is a great detective story that plays out like a Chandler novel with an excellent added touch of drawing out details with inset panels. Most of all, there is a lot of heart both in Jessica's attitude and the family she has built. There is simply a lot to like about this comic that serves as both an introduction and continuation of one of Marvel's best.

For better or worse, Marvel elected to publish Thompson and Mattia De Lulis' Jessica Jones miniseries in digital-only form earlier this year.

Sam Stone of ''[[CBR.com]]'' called the ''Jessica Jones - Marvel Digital Original'' comic book series one of the "best Jessica Jones stories," asserting, "Arriving in 2018, ''Jessica Jones: Blind Spot'' was a three-issue Marvel Digital series by Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Lulis. This was a new team to take on the character, but they smartly kept the private investigation aspects of her story and added a new look. In this, Jessica investigated a serial killer in New York City killing women with powers. When someone framed Jessica, she went to Doctor Strange for help and the body count began to rise.

Peyton Hinckle of ''[[ComicsVerse]]'' wrote, "You can't really talk about ''Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter'' without talking about the art and, more specifically, the artist. Mattia De Iulis pulls out what might be his best work for this series. Realistic, yet distinctive, Iulis has a style that naturally lends itself to darker comics (like ''Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter''). An artist with heavily stylized linework just wouldn't have given the series the same weight and sense of reality. Part of the reason why we feel like Jessica's life really is falling apart is because she has a relatable face. Iulis' work is so realistic that it almost feels like readers are peaking into Jessica's non-fictitious story. As emotions run high for Jessica, emotions run high for readers as well. The second artist, Filipe Andrade, penciled the fake reality scene, where Jessica briefly thinks she's an idyllic little housewife. Iulis' realistic style definitely wouldn't have worked for this portion of the story. Andrade's heavily stylized linework perfectly emphasizes the distance Jessica has from reality at this point in the plot. This series flew under a lot of comic fans' radar. Since it's an online-only series, it didn't get publicity from LCBS or an array of variant covers. It's not nearly as flashy as most of Marvel's recent publications but, quality wise, it's better. From the storyline to the art, this series excels in almost every way. If you've never read Jessica Jones, ''Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter'' is for you…and, honestly, if you've read tons of Jessica Jones' arcs, ''Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter'' is still for you. It's what so few comics are nowadays: complex, entertaining, and visually stunning. Don't miss out on it."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hinckle |first=Peyton |date=April 5, 2019 |title=JESSICA JONES: PURPLE DAUGHTER Is the New Marvel Series You've Been Looking For |url=https://comicsverse.com/jessica-jones-purple-daughter-series/ |website=[[ComicsVerse]]}}</ref>
Christian Jones of ''[[Stardust (magazine)|Stardust]]'' gave ''Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter'' #1 a 9-star rating, saying, "Kelly Thompson expertly establishes the event that has torn Luke and Jessica's lives apart and the ensuing trauma of that. As a reader, you feel the doubt, the anger and the helplessness that these characters feel. As a mother, Jessica is placed in the most horrifying position that a parent can be placed in. Absolute and unconditional love for her child whilst having to face her worst nightmare every time she looks at her baby. Jessica Jones creator Brian Michael Bendis' great talent was humanising his characters, but Thompson has taken it to a whole other level. The artwork by Mattia de Lulis is simply wonderful. There's a photographic realism to his work that suits the story and characters perfectly. The characters are the focus of every panel with the background being less distinct unless it serves the scene. This allows the reader to be really drawn in by the story without becoming distracted by superfluous details. The use of colour, shading, and lighting is also used to the utmost effect, creating a truly convincing piece of neo-noir on the printed page. If Marvel Comics should ever revisit the Noir universe, a Jessica Jones caper set amongst seedy whiskey-soaked, smoke-filled bars in New York's criminal underworld is a must. After Brian Michael Bendis' triumphant run, Kelly Thompson's assured direction of Jessica Jones looks set to flourish. Bendis created a cynical, flawed, world-weary, reluctant superhero. It's exciting to see what facets Thompson will bring to one of Marvel Comics most interesting characters."<ref>{{Cite web |title=JESSICA JONES: PURPLE DAUGHTER #1 |url=https://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/jessica-jones-purple-daughter-1 |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=STARBURST Magazine |date=30 January 2019 |language=en-GB}}</ref>

Hannah Rose of ''[[CBR.com]]'' called ''The Variants'' #1 an "intriguing first issue", stating, "Simone captures Jessica's essence well, balancing her hardened if heavy-handed cynicism with her vulnerability and humanity. The sequence where Jess tries on varying shades of lipstick under the watchful eye of the sales clerk is one of the best instances of this softer, more insecure, and human side of the otherwise badass and uncompromising character. Similarly, her more compassionate side is forced out by Daredevil as both hero and attorney, calling on her to assist one of his clients, a girl similarly manipulated by the Purple Man. Jess and Daredevil's relationship here is an uneasy one, their trust in one another is tested thanks to Daredevil's lie-detecting powers, yet the respect between them is plain as day. Powerhouse artist Phil Noto takes the reigns in ''Variants'' #1. His line art is elegant, smooth, fluid, and pretty to look at. He sticks to realistic body proportions with just enough stylistic liberty to keep everything easy on the eye and purely in the realm of fiction. He uses a soft, muted color palette with occasional washes of color, especially blue and fuschia. But, for the most part, he keeps things grounded with an appropriately sad, drab beige. ''Variants'' #1 demonstrates an excellent understanding of an often underutilized character, exploring her mindset and morals in the aftermath of a harrowing event. Unfortunately, its use of the multiverse leaves viewers wanting more. Time will tell if these different versions of Jessica's character and the alternate worlds they inhabit can be given the attention they deserve."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rose |first=Hannah |date=2022-06-29 |title=REVIEW: Marvel's The Variants #1 |url=https://www.cbr.com/marvel-variants-1-comic-review/ |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=CBR |language=en-US}}</ref>
Jenna Anderson of ''[[ComicBook.com]]'' gave ''The Variants'' #1 a grade of 5 out of 5, asserting, "''The Variants'' #1 is not only a beautifully-constructed new look at the Marvel multiverse that fans know and love, it's a truly stunning and revolutionary new chapter in the ongoing story of Jessica Jones. Gail Simone's script brings the heartfelt, but world-weary tone that Jessica uniquely embodies, while laying the groundwork for a fascinating new twist on doppelgangers from another universe. When coupled with Phil Noto's effortlessly cool and timeless art, The Variants is an absolute knockout for Marvel Comics, and I could not be more excited to see what else it has in store."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Comic Book Reviews for This Week: 6/29/2022 |url=https://comicbook.com/comics/news/new-comic-reviews-dc-marvel-image-june-29-2022/ |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=Comics |language=en}}</ref>
