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

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 25th 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.
