AIPT - David Brooke
Mar 11, 2026Alias: Red Band #1 brings Jessica Jones back with a story that understands what makes her compelling. The friction between Jessica and Luke Cage gives the issue emotional weight, especially as his position as mayor clashes with her instincts as a detective who refuses to look the other way. The dark and disturbing comes through in the visuals and the always-entertaining Typhoid Mary, while Borges and Hesli elevate the material with striking compositions. The Red Band branding may feel overstated given what is on the page, but the issue itself succeeds by focusing on character drama, uneasy alliances, and a dangerous new alliance with Typhoid Mary.

Pleasantly surprised by this one. I don't think I've read anything by either Humphries or Borges prior to reading this, so I really had no basis for expectations going in. That said, Humphries did a pretty good job here, in my opinion. Nothing groundbreaking, but we get a solid mystery, along with some pretty well-done character interactions for Jessica with Luke Cage and Typhoid Mary, respectively. The former was especially a tense read. Also, Borges impressed me with his interiors here. Sure, there are still things that can be improved upon, but this was still a pretty solid outing for him. Actually looking forward to the next issue.
