From Marvel.com:
	ALIAS ULTIMATE COLLECTION BOOK 2 TPB Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS Penciled by MICHAEL GAYDOS Cover by DAVID MACK As a costumed adventurer, Jessica Jones was plagued by a lack of self-esteem and an inability to master her superhuman powers. She hung up her cape and tights when she realized she would forever be considered a second-rate super hero. Now a tough-as-nails private investigator, Jessica returns home to find a mysterious girl in a costume hiding in her apartment, but she flies away before Jessica can find out who she is. Through sources, Jessica discovers that her intruder is Mattie Franklin, a.k.a. Spider-Woman, a teenage super hero with a connection to Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson. With Mattie in danger, Jessica Jones must seek help from an unlikely source — Jessica Drew, the original Spider-Woman — to bring her home alive. Then, for the first time, learn all of Jessica’s hidden secrets — how she got her powers and joined the Avengers, and the dark, unspoken chapter in Marvel Universe history that changed her life forever. Guest-starring Peter Parker, Jean Grey and the Avengers! Collecting ALIAS #16-28. 312 pages/Parental Advisory Price: $34.99 ISBN: 978-0-7851-4490-8 Release Date: January 27, 2010

David Mack Mentioned During Interview
From Cal's Comic Corner:
	"I would say music is probably my primary influence," [Jason Phillips] said, adding "a few writers that have influenced me are Clive Barker, not just his novels but also his intricate views on how art is created. James O'Barr because he was really the first comic book creator that showed me comics could be more than superheros. David Mack because of his ability to use this medium to showcase his own emotional stories through artistic metaphor. Finally Shakespeare was a big influence on the narrative sections of the book."
