Alias (2001)

Jessica Jones is a former superhero turned cynical private investigator in New York, and Brian Michael Bendis writes her cases as grubby, talky casework rather than capes and punch-ups. Alias launched Marvel's mature MAX line in 2001 and ran 28 issues, with Michael Gaydos drawing gritty, shadow-heavy pages under David Mack's collage covers. The main villain is Zebediah Killgrave, the Purple Man, and that material deals in manipulation and control rather than gore, which makes it the most disturbing reading here. Adult in language and theme throughout. If you watched the first season of the Netflix show, this is what it adapts, and the comic is sharper.
