The protagonist of Alias is Jessica Jones, a former costumed superhero named Jewel who left that life behind to become a private investigator. The running thread is Jessica's character development, as the layers of her past and personality are revealed to the reader while, simultaneously, she tries to come to terms with them herself.
Characters from the series moved to Bendis' subsequent series The Pulse. The series received generally positive reviews from critics.
Alias was the basis of the first season of the Netflix Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) series Jessica Jones, which premiered in November 2015. Jessica Jones, a follow-up ongoing series to Alias created by Bendis and Gaydos as a tie-in to the television series, began publication in 2016.
