Bendis and Gaydos Reunite for Jessica Jones in New Alias Limited Series

Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos are getting the band back together. Marvel has confirmed the original Alias creative team is reuniting for Jessica Jones: Alias, a new five-issue limited series launching December 23, 2026 — a full 25 years after the pair first introduced the hard-boiled private investigator to the Marvel Universe.

The series picks up in the wake of the recent Red Band storyline, with Jessica no longer holding the title of New York's First Lady. The plot kicks off with what looks like a routine missing-persons gig, but true to Bendis form it doesn't stay routine for long: the case drags Jessica into some of the Marvel Universe's stranger corners, reportedly including Latveria and the Savage Land, putting the ground-level detective firmly out of her comfort zone.

Reuniting the writer and artist who defined Jessica Jones' voice at the launch of the MAX imprint is a notable move for a character who's spent the last few years in group books and adaptations. Whether this is a one-off victory lap or a setup for something longer-running, it's a reminder of just how much of the character's DNA still traces back to that original run.
