Jinx: The Essential Collection

Collecting the original 1990s crime-noir miniseries, Jinx: The Essential Collection brings Brian Michael Bendis’s early independent masterpiece to Marvel’s Icon imprint in a single 2011 volume. This hardcover gathers the entire story of a down-on-her-luck bounty hunter and the seedy underworld she navigates, showcasing Bendis’s raw, dialogue-driven storytelling and stark black-and-white art before his mainstream fame. As a key artifact of Bendis’s pre-Marvel work, it offers a gritty, cinematic glimpse into the creator’s formative voice.
