Too Bad Its Over

This is the 4th and final Alias TPB. It reveals a good deal about Jessicas past which ties in with the Purple Man story line. This series has been great all the way through, though Id say the first and third TPBs were the best of the four. I hate to see it go but at least her character will continue on in The Pulse. I highly recommend any of the Alias books to someone wanting an entertaining and different look on the Marvel Universe.

Great ending for an underate series

I think this series reads much better in the trade format. If you liked (or loved) Bendiss take on Daredevil, youll really get a kick out of this series because it covers much of the "underbelly" of the regular MU.

In this, the last TPB, we finally get a peek at how Jessica got her powers and why she gave up being a superhero, forever living in the shadows of "greater" heroes like the Avengers. Wonderful flashback scenes drawn by Mark Bagley, Bendis artist on Ultimate Spider-Man. Great unexpected twists and turns starring the 3rd-rate MU villian, the Purple Man. Youll never look at him again the same after this.

The story also ties up Jessicas relationship with Luke Cage and sets the groundwork for the new series, The Pulse.

FYI: for the 16-and-older crowd as it is a MAX title, having plenty of cussing and sexual situations.
