Twenty-five years ago, Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos introduced readers to Jessica Jones, Marvel’s tough-as-nails private investigator with a complicated super hero past, in the groundbreaking ALIAS series.

Now, for their character’s milestone 25th anniversary, the acclaimed creative team reunite to send Jessica on her strangest case yet in JESSICA JONES: ALIAS, a five-issue limited series launching this December.

JESSICA JONES: ALIAS follows the breakout character as she tackles a case unlike any she’s tackled before, one that pulls her far beyond her stomping ground in Hell’s Kitchen…

Comic Watch Review:

Bendis, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, said about his return:

“Jessica has, since her debut, been something very different in my life.

There’s something very emotional and intimate about the way [people] talk about her. It’s always been the best kind of conversation you could ever hope to have with readers. People see themselves in her and love her and root for her. All of that is in this series.”

Renowned original series cover artist David Mack also returns to grace the series with his gorgeous painted artwork. Check out his first cover along with a sneak peek at Gaydos’ interior artwork now:
