For what it will cost online, I am okay with $62.50 for the MOKF omnibus. I assume cost of restoration, plus the licensing to Sax Rohmer are the reason.
The Squadron Supreme omni is a bummer, though. It would be nice to have a companion instead.

If you're trying to read up for the Netflix series, it'll certainly give you background on her character and the premise for the series. But there's going to be very little from the series that will be a direct translation onto the screen, especially in terms of story and characters involved.
If you're just wondering about it in general, it's definitely a good read about the intersection of the Marvel Universe where street level meets the bigger powers down on a lower grade level.
While the private investigator thing is dropped in Jessica Jones: The Pulse, I actually think Bendis hits his stride a bit better in that book, aside from the tie-in with Secret War from #6-9. I thought Jessica's pregnancy and relationship with Cage was explored very well, and there's some other interesting stuff going on with Ben Urich. The Ben Urich/D-Man story is pretty fantastic and is a hidden gem in there.

Thanks for all the responses about Alias. I am a big fan of Powers and Bendis's DD and the reviews for Jessica Jones have been great so I may pull the trigger.
Parable by Moebius is being reprinted? Where?
You'll love it then. It is an amazing series.
Side note, anyone noticed places like IGN talking about the Netflix show and how they are and aren't going to do so and so, such as things like whether Jessica will get her costume at the end. These people get paid to make these things and have clearly never read the material they are talking about... Meanwhile there are people on this board with a ridiculous level of knowledge who should be getting paid to use it. I mean, it's essentially one and a half short runs for Jessica Jones' entire history.
Not happy about the SS Classic omnibus. Would have rather seen the JMS MAX series and the tie-ins put in an omnibus.
+1 Yes please.
*to JMS SS Omni
The Wicked + The Divine. TMNT. Uncanny Avengers. Midnighter. IXth Generation. Daredevil. Morning Glories. Street Fighter. Fables. Uncanny X-Men. Bloodshot. Invincible. Ninjak. Mockingbird.
That's my stance on both those books as well. MOKF I'll be getting, but no way am I double-dipping on SS.
And would it kill them to release Bendis' New Avengers Vol. 2 instead of *$&# such as the Ewoks/Droids? I'm so sick of pondering whether to sell my Vol 1 Omni or the first few OHCs. (Yes, I did double-dip there.)
Not a rights thing. They just found it cute to release Ditko-centric books.

So im one who dosnt have the first SS omni. Should I get the first or the new one? I like the idea of having more material, but I know nothing about the series.
