New Series - Red Band Jessica Jones: Alias
One of the most iconic Marvel series that introduced Jessica Jones is coming back to celebrate the 25th anniversary with Jessica Jones: Alias. Sam Humphries and Geraldo Borges are teaming up to give us a brand-new red-band series featuring the titular character.
Following the pieces left behind by Bendis, we will get a noir crime mystery as Jessica Jones “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."
Jessica Jones: Alias releases March 11th, 2026
