Jessica Jones Returns to Marvel Comics in New Red Band Miniseries
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Marvel has announced Alias: Red Band, a five-issue mature-readers miniseries starring Jessica Jones written by Sam Humphries and drawn by Geraldo Borges, set to launch in March 2026.
Jessica Jones is stepping back into the spotlight as Marvel prepares a brand new five-issue comic miniseries titled Alias: Red Band, launching on March 11, 2026. Originally reported by Polygon, the project arrives just as the character gears up for her return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the second season of Daredevil: Born Again. Writer Sam Humphries and artist Geraldo Borges are taking the reins, dropping Jones into the gritty streets of Hell's Kitchen to track down a serial killer with an unexpected partner by her side.
The Red Band designation means this book is leaning hard into its mature roots, harking back to the classic Max imprint where the character first made waves. Humphries promises plenty of unfiltered language and grisly crime scene investigations brought to life by Borges. To crack the case, Jones will have to form a tense and volatile alliance with Typhoid Mary, creating a dynamic that writer Sam Humphries describes as anything but friendly. The series also marks a major milestone, arriving just as the character approaches the 25th anniversary of her original debut under creators Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos.
For fans who appreciate grounded, street-level superhero stories with a cynical edge, this return to the PI desk is a welcome sight. It also highlights how transmedia momentum keeps characters relevant across streaming and print simultaneously. Keep an eye out for the first issue next March, complete with covers from original artist David Mack and variant contributors like Elena Casagrande and Jeehyung Lee, as reported by Polygon.
