Summary
- Brian Michael Bendis is returning to Jessica Jones with Michael Gaydos.
- A new five-issue series titled Jessica Jones: Alias is set for release.
- The series explores Jessica's evolution as a mother and private investigator.
Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos are reuniting for a new five-issue series, Jessica Jones: Alias, scheduled for release on December 23rd. This project is one of the "special projects" that drew Bendis back to Marvel Comics after an eight-year hiatus.
The new series, with cover design by David Mack, revisits Jessica Jones, a character Bendis and Gaydos first introduced in 2001's Alias #1. Bendis noted that the character's journey has always mirrored his own growth as a creator, making this reunion particularly meaningful.
Jessica Jones: Alias will explore the character's current life, reflecting her evolution since her initial debut. No longer the first lady of New York City following Luke Cage's mayoral term, Jessica now navigates her responsibilities as a mother and a private investigator with unique capabilities.
The narrative kicks off with Jessica taking on a case to find a missing child with special abilities, a situation that deeply resonates with her own complex family dynamics. This investigation will lead her through obscure and bizarre corners of the Marvel Universe, including locations like Latveria and the Savage Land.
Bendis is also working on other projects for Marvel, describing one as "the most beautiful thing." However, he maintains a special connection to Jessica Jones, recognizing the intimate and emotional way readers connect with the character, seeing themselves in her struggles and triumphs.
