Explain me Alias

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.
