I read the first one last night. I'm not sure what I think of it. Half of it seems to be "Look at what we can get away with!" and J. Loeb's whole intro where he talks about how "FINALLY COMICS FOR PEOPLE OVER 17!) only made me think that the only people who'd be superjazzed about that are 16 yr olds.The art is sometimes really good, sort of like Phil Hester under the influence of Keith Giffen as inked by Matt Wagner.
In a way, I kind of appreciated the opening bit with Luke Cage, because it says, well, what Dan said in his first post to this thread.

but honestly i really liked the idea of this more than the execution... the stories themselves are pretty crappy.
(ok i do like the cap'n america one)

P.S. Late to the game, but: Alias really was pretty good. I recently read it in conjunction w/the Bendis DD run and it was a perfect companion piece. And, perhaps, in some ways, better.

I just wanted to come back and contradict former me because the most offputting thing about that first issue isn't so much the anal sex thing as much as the liberal use of the word "nigga" in Luke Cage's dialogue and how Jessica equates having sex with him to degrading herself, which I hated when I first read it but wanted to reserve judgment on because so many people I like/respect were extolling the series' virtue.
On the positive side, the storylines were mined for a great season of Jessica Jones so it's not like the whole thing is worthless; I just have no interest in ever reading it.
