The Pulse?

On rozk's rec I've been reading the Alias comics (The fairly explicit Marvel one by Bendis etc. about a super turned private eye called Jessica Jones, nothing to do with the TV show of that name), and enjoyed them a lot. According to Wikipedia there's more about Jones in a subsequent series, The Pulse, so I'm wondering if they're worth reading - I get the impression that they're rather more mainstream to the Marvel universe, which may mean they're less to my taste.

Any thoughts?

Later Turns out I can get all three of the Pulse collected volumes for about £18 total so I've ordered them.

Novel BY Simon Templar

One of the Saint stories (I think a novella rather than a full-length novel) begins with The Saint annoyed about negative reviews of a novel he has written. Can anyone remember the title of the novel and in which story it is mentioned?
