Solicit Synopsis

What would it really be like to meet an alternate version of yourself, another you who had made different choices and lived a completely different life as a result? That's the question facing Jessica Jones, as what seemed like a routine investigation instead has her encountering other incarnations of herself from across the Multiverse. Can Jessica get along with herself? Will she want to kill her other selves? And will seeing the lives she could have led drive her into a self-destructive spiral? This is what happens when you meet…the Variants!

Notes

• There is a flashback of Jessica buying lipstick for her wedding to Luke Cage. Cage proposed in The Pulse #13 and they were married in New Avengers Annual #1.
• It is ten years since Jessica was held captive for eight months by the Purple Man. This was told in flashback in Alias #25.
