Frey Asvald Faces Final Negotiations in Zack Kaplan’s Kill All Immortals III

Posted on June 21, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

Following the explosive monster success of the best reviewed creator-owned debut of the year, Only The Savage Are Left, the immense popularity of Masterminds, and the highly anticipated August release The Smart Division, Zack Kaplan concludes a blockbuster year with Dark Horse Comics by teaming up with Marvel superstar artist Francesco Mortarino, for the climactic finale of immortal Vikings and blood-soaked business with Kill All Immortals III.

After facing the consequences of mortality for the first time in their lives and surviving the challenge, the Asvald siblings must sacrifice everything or risk total destruction at the hands of impossibly powerful immortal foes! Colorist Thiago Rocha and Eisner-winning letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou return for more high stakes family and societal drama that’s been described as Succession meets John Wick.

Arriving in October, Kill All Immortals III features main cover art by series cover artist Oliver Barrett, with issue #1 enjoying variant covers from Eliza Ivanova, Elena Casagrande, and celebrated cover artist Jenny Frison.

The Asvalds were once a billionaire Viking family with the secret to immortality, until the family’s only daughter, Frey Asvald, led a rebellion against their barbaric father. Now, with their family splintered and wounded, they find a daunting world of rival immortals seeking their demise at every turn. As Frey takes on her most deadly adversaries yet, she must finally decide what is most important, her freedom from war or her Viking vengeance.

The world of immortal Vikings was drenched in violence and death against just one rival, but how will the Asvalds prevail against an immortal world ready to destroy them.

Zack Kaplan and Francesco Mortarino leave every heart-stopping moment on the page when Kill All Immortals III #1 (of 5) arrives in comic shops on October 7, 2026, for $4.99.

Comic book cover for 'Kill Immortal Tales' featuring a woman with long hair, wearing a flowing blue dress, covered in blood, and holding two ornate axes against a vibrant orange background with splatters of red.

Marvel’s Alias returns to Celebrate Jessica Jones’ 25th Anniversary

Posted on December 16, 2025 by Graphic Policy Team

In 2001, Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos introduced an all-new, gritty side of the Marvel Universe in Alias. The acclaimed series, now considered one of Bendis’ signature Marvel works, marked the debut of super hero private investigator Jessica Jones, a breakout character of the 2000s who later headlined her own television series and is set to return in the second season of Daredevil: Born Again next year. Marvel will celebrate the 25^th anniversary of Alias this March with the launch of Alias: Red Band, a five-issue series by writer Sam Humphries and artist Geraldo Borges. Renowned artist David Mack will return to grace the series with his gorgeous mural-like painted covers, just as he did with the original series. And while the original series was published under the MAX imprint, the new series will be polybagged for mature content as a Red Band series.

Humphries and Borges will follow in Bendis and Gaydos’s footsteps with an all-new saga that blends Marvel super hero storytelling with noir crime mystery, following Jessica Jones as she investigates a series of grisly murders. To solve the case, she’ll have to join forces with an unlikely partner, Daredevil supervillain Typhoid Mary, while dealing with the scrutiny of being married to the Mayor of New York City, Luke Cage. The series sets the stage for both Luke and Jessica to take a pivotal role at the center of the Marvel Universe later in 2026.

THE RETURN OF JESSICA JONES!

A series of grisly murders in Hell’s Kitchen pulls Jessica Jones into a mystery more sinister than she could’ve ever imagined.
