Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS Penciled by MICHAEL GAYDOS Cover by DAVID MACK Meet Jessica Jones. Once upon a time, she was a costumed super hero. But not a very good one. Her powers were unremarkable compared to the amazing abilities of the costumed icons that populate the Marvel Universe. In a city of Marvels, Jessica Jones never found her niche. Now a chain-smoking, self-destructive alcoholic with a mean inferiority complex, Jones is the owner and sole employee of Alias Investigations-a small, private-investigative firm specializing in superhuman cases. When she uncovers the potentially explosive secret of one hero's true identity, Jessica's life immediately becomes expendable. But her wit, charm and intelligence just may help her survive through another day. Thrust into the midst of a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels, has Jessica burned too many bridges to turn to old friends for help? Then, in "Rebecca, Come Home," Jessica travels to upstate New York to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl rumored to be a mutant in a prejudiced small town. And in "Raining Men," the hard-luck goes on a date with ... the Astonishing Ant-Man?! Collecting ALIAS #1-15. 360 pages. / Explicit Content

Since they were kids, Johnny Delgado and Victor Reyes were closer than brothers. They lived in a rough Phoenix Latino neighborhood where, to stay clear of street gangs, they spent their days after school in a local motorcycle shop. The shop's mystical proprietor, Gus, taught the boys ballads of Los Banditos - two avenging gunslingers who roamed Mexican Border towns hunting down those who preyed on the weak and innocent. As the legend goes, if one Bandito were to be killed, the other would assume his soul, so they would both live on to seek justice... and two would become One. When Johnny, now an Assistant U.S. Attorney, is brutally murdered by drug lords, his best friend, Victor, now a Special Forces officer, returns from war in Afghanistan and assumes his identity, intent on seeking vengeance against all those who are guilty. Now, justice will be served--Johnny Delgado has returned! The spirit of Zorro has risen again... not on a stallion, but a Harley. Now, for the first time, this 120 page graphic novel direct from the minds of John Leekley, the Emmy award winning Executive Producer/Writer of Spawn: The HBO Animated Series and Michael D. Olmos, director of the Dark Horse feature film Splinter, contains the complete version of the critically acclaimed series.
