Alias: Red Band - Deal with the Devil vol 1

Alias: Red Band

by Sam Humphries, Geraldo Borges (Illustrator)

Jessica Jones returns for a hard-boiled case worthy of Red Band treatment!

A series of grisly murders in Hell’s Kitchen pulls Jessica Jones into a mystery more sinister than she could’ve ever imagined. As the wife of Mayor Luke Cage, she’ll have to tread carefully — not least because tracking down this killer means forming a dangerous alliance with Typhoid Mary! But as she delves deeper into Hell’s Kitchen’s dark underbelly, the evidence she finds presents more questions than answers. Writer Sam Humphries (NEW AVENGERS, LEGENDARY STAR-LORD) puts the spotlight back on Jessica Jones in a series celebrating the 25th anniversary of ALIAS!

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

Having never read Jessica Jones before, I didn’t know what to expect. While it was an intriguing character study, the “red band” label oversold the shock value and greatly diminished the emotional punch of the more graphic panels.

The story seems interesting enough to keep reading. I’m quite disappointed that the gorgeous cover art by David Mack doesn’t have any literal nor metaphorical thruline in the issue.

Interesting first issue
