The Groundbreaking ‹ Alias › Series Returns to Celebrate Jessica Jones’ 25th Anniversary
‹ Alias: Red Band, › a new five-issue Red Band series by Sam Humphries and Geraldo Borges, arrives in March.
by Marvel
In 2001, Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos introduced an all-new, gritty side of the Marvel Universe in ALIAS (2001). 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.
Announced earlier today at Polygon, Marvel Comics will celebrate the 25th anniversary of ALIAS this March with the launch of ALIAS: RED BAND, a five-issue series by writer Sam Humphries (NEW AVENGERS) and artist Geraldo Borges (THUNDERBOLTS). 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’ 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. As the wife of Mayor Luke Cage, she’ll have to tread carefully as she forms a dangerous alliance with Typhoid Mary to track down the killer. But as she delves deeper into Hell’s Kitchen’s dark underbelly, the evidence she finds presents more questions than answers…

On Sale 3/11« No one does it like Jessica Jones. She’s sharp, bitterly funny, and tenacious as hell. Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos snapped when they created her, a totally singular character with a unique POV on the superhero game, » Humphries told Polygon. « I’m excited to push the limits of the kind of cases Jessica Jones can investigate, and how far she’ll go to solve them. »

Le retour de Bendis sur Avengers avec eux ?
Le titre de leur propre série est tout trouvé.

Mais plus sérieusement, ça ne me choque pas de ne pas voir Bendis au commande de cette mini. Si cela avait été le cas, les mêmes qui deplorent son absence aurait gloser sur le manque d’idée de Marvel après Avengers 800 et possiblement Miles morales.
Impacté par l’Armageddon de Zdarsky (tandis que le run de MacKay semble toucher à sa fin).

Je me demande d’ailleurs si la série ne sera pas en pause durant l’évent.
Hox/Pox style (les ongoings en pause durant sa publication) histoire de faire événementiel.
Ça ! C’est pour moi ! 
Tant de posts et sujets manqués sur la toile… misère.
