Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos Reunite for Jessica Jones: Alias, 25 Years Later

Marvel is sending Jessica Jones back to where she started. Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos are reuniting for Jessica Jones: Alias, a five-issue limited series launching in December with painted covers from David Mack - the same three names behind the original Alias run that introduced the character twenty-five years ago.

The new series finds Jones trying to rebuild her private investigation business after stepping away from her stint as First Lady of New York, only for what looks like a routine missing-persons case to spiral into something far stranger, pulling her out of Hell's Kitchen and into stranger corners of the wider Marvel Universe. Bendis has framed the reunion less as a nostalgia play and more as a chance to revisit what made the character connect with readers in the first place, saying fans "see themselves in her and root for her."

A quarter-century reunion of this specific creative team is rare in mainstream comics, and it signals Marvel leaning back into the grounded, noir-inflected corner of its line that the original Alias helped define when it launched the MAX imprint. Expect more preview pages and further details as the December release date approaches.
