Ahead Of AKA Jessica Jones, Alias Receives New Trade Paperback Collections
Quote:
In preparation for AKA Jessica Jones’ debut on Netflix, Marvel Comics will reprint the classic comic title that inspired the series: Alias.
The publisher will reprint Brian Michael Bendis’ seminal take on Jessica Jones in a new series of trade paperbacks, complete with new covers by original series cover artist David Mack. Alias, which originally ran for 28 issues between 2001 and 2004 under Marvel’s MAX imprint, followed Jones as she investigated the Marvel Universe’s seediest corners.
“I am over the moon excited about the re-release of the Jessica Jones story. These new collections, with brand new David Mack covers, celebrate the history of the character, while at the same time open the door for a new audience that will discover her through Netflix,” Brian Michael Bendis told ComicBook.com. “David Mack’s covers are an essential part of the show’s DNA. With his work featured on the show’s credits, these covers will be the visual connection between the graphic novels and the show.”
Marvel will release the trade paperback series' first two volumes, which will collect up to Alias #15, this September. However, Marvel will release the entire series digitally on ComiXology this June.
“We wanted to reprint the original run of Alias before Marvel’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones takes Netflix by storm,” Marvel’s SVP of Sales and Marketing, David Gabriel, told ComicBook.com “David Mack’s covers forever set the tone for that groundbreaking original run, and we’re thrilled he agreed to do new covers for these collections that are equally as breathtaking.”
