  “Alias: Red Band” from Sam Humphries was more than worth the years of waiting. This new story for Jess perfectly captures what makes her feel so enigmatic and engaging to read. Coupled with some truly amazing art, this entire run is perfect from start to finish. Your jaw will be on the floor as the team delivered truly stunning work. Read Full Review

  The Marvel Universe would feel a lot more well-rounded if there were more series that attempted to reconcile all of the different genres that go into it. That's all the way has been one of the deeper problems. It's all well and good to have all of these characters exist in a single goal, continuous world. The full reality of what that would be like on our own day-to-day level is never really given the kind of complexity it deserves. Series like a Jessica Jones one are a definite step in the right direction. Read Full Review

  Alias: Red Band #5 sticks the landing with confidence, wrapping up its mystery while giving Jessica Jones and Typhoid Mary one last chance to shine together. Sam Humphries balances humor, horror, and detective storytelling with remarkable ease, while Geraldo Borges elevates every conversation through expressive layouts and cinematic pacing. The Red Band label finally feels justified thanks to the gruesome finale, though the strength of this series has always been its characters rather than its gore. Hopefully this won't be the last time Jessica and Typhoid Mary share the page. Read Full Review
