AIPT Comics can exclusively reveal the solicitation details for ALIAS: RED BAND #2 (of 5), the next chapter in Marvel’s anniversary return to one of its most influential noir series. Published by Marvel Comics, the issue continues the gritty, street-level mystery that put Jessica Jones on the map, and this time, pairs her with one of Marvel’s most volatile wild cards.
Written by Sam Humphries with art by Geraldo Borges and a cover by David Mack, Alias: Red Band #2 leans hard into the “odd couple” tension as Jessica begrudgingly partners with Typhoid Mary to investigate a series of grisly murders terrorizing Hell’s Kitchen.
According to the solicitation, an interrogation of one of the killers uncovers a hidden third player manipulating events from the shadows, putting both women squarely in the crosshairs. With trust in short supply and danger escalating fast, Jessica and Mary will need to set aside their mutual hatred—or risk becoming the next victims.
The Red Band series marks the 25th anniversary of Alias, the landmark 2001 series by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos that reshaped Marvel’s approach to mature, character-driven storytelling. While the original series ran under Marvel’s MAX imprint, Alias: Red Band arrives polybagged as a RED BAND title, signaling unflinching content and a return to the raw noir tone that defined Jessica Jones’ earliest days.
The timing is no accident. As Jessica Jones’ profile rises again ahead of her MCU return in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Humphries and Borges place her at the center of a brutal mystery that also reflects her current status quo—operating under public scrutiny as the wife of Luke Cage, now Mayor of New York City, with wider Marvel plans looming later in 2026.
