The Pulse (Marvel)

    (Marvel, 2004-2006)
™ and © 2004 Marvel Characters, Inc.

Picking up almost exactly where the Marvel title Alias (Marvel) left off, The Pulse tells the story of reluctant heroine Jessica Jones in her role as a super-powered consultant on super powers for The Daily Bugle. Jones, a former super-hero and girlfriend of the hero-for-hire Luke Cage, is hired by J. Jonah Jameson as a “vigilante analyst.” Her job is to provide a point-of-view rarely seen on typical news stories—that of someone who has put on a costume and used super powers to fight bad guys. Though her place of business is a newsroom, there is no shortage of action or intrigue as Jessica helps break stories and solve crimes from her own unique perspective.

Borrowing supporting characters from Spider-Man and Daredevil, The Pulse adds new depth to not only Jessica Jones, but also to Marvel mainstays such as Jonah Jameson, Robbie Robertson, and Ben Urich.
