Well, the series ends this week, so what better time for a farewell thread? Just doing my civic duty. Talk about what you liked about Alias, who got you reading it, and how you think it will all go down in the last issue.

From its earliest doggy-style moment to encounters with an incarcerated Purple Man...this series has certainly run the gamut.

It will be missed (even with The Pulse replacing it).

I'm kinda sorry to see Alias wrap up as I reckon it's best thing we are ever gonna see from MAX.I got into Alias just as I was getting back into comics-Kicked War Machines Ass!!!

I love the Fact that Captain America's Identity was under threat in the very first arc!!!
I loved the JJJ self contained story and the fact that although Bendis could have used every expletive under the sun, Jonah did not say the F word.
I loved the secret origin of Jessica Jones
I loved Alias.

R.I.P. Ant man.....

Unbelievable! I was just about to start the same thread!!
It is hard to say goodbye, 'Alias' has been my favorite book the last two years. I started with issue 9, then went back to find out what was going on. To me the best part was the waitng. I said this once in a bought/thought thread, but I feel bad for anyone who hasn't been reading this book. Because I don't think it will have the same impact in a trade. The long build up to "The Secret Origin of Jessica Jones" made it that much better. In fact this book just got better and better with each issue.
The "retro" artwork Gaydos did for the 'Secret Origin' issue, followed by the amazing work that Gaydos and Bagley have done in the 'Purple' arc, its just awesome!
Brian's take on the MU, has been probably the most enjoyable thing I've read in comics ever. Wow, I am really gonna miss buying this every month!
I can't even speculate on what big changes are in store for Jessica tommorrow, I'm just gonna wait and see. But let me finish by saying THANK YOU to Brian, Michael, Matt, Cory, and David M!!! also to Bill Jemas for getting behind this! And mostly for 'Alias' #25, maybe my favorite comic ever!! (along with USM #13, of course!)

Thanks to all for a one of a kind run!!! -And again to Brian, I sincerely thank you for this experience.

kw

(and, oh yeah, thanks for Malcolm!! Razz )

I'd just like to say a big thank you to Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Gaydos, David Mack, Mark Bagley, and everyone else who contributed to one of the finest, most human, run of stories to ever take place in the Marvel Universe. You all brought Jessica Jones to life in all her troubled, potty-mouthed glory; she will remain one of the most fascinating lead characters, as well as one of the most sharply characterized female characters, of all time. Thank you. Now get your asses back to work so we don't have to wait for The Pulse.

Yeah, it's a great book. But have some faith in Bendis! If he feels that The Pulse is the way to go, he won't let us down.

It was a great honor and a big blast to be a part of this series. I love every issue. A lot of them I read in script form first and it was still amazingly entertaining to read it again as a finished book.

I had so much fun doing these covers. In fact the rule at the time was that Marvel always wanted to be like 4 covers ahead, so there are actually a few Alias covers that you won't see printed as covers. And they had me redo a few of them too. I wonder if they will end up printing them in a collection. Or maybe there will be a cover art book or something?

Was way fun working with Brian and Gaydos on this. And it was fun that Sienkiewicz, Rick Mays, and Bagly joined us for some special guest art additions.

I know this has been addressed already, but i have to ask anyway:
Wll you be doing the covers for The Pulse? If not, then who will be?
Is there any chance those four covers you were talking about might be used for The Pulse?
Thanks for all the Alias covers, David. Regardless of the "sameness" that some people complained about (not me), they were always some of the most striking and distinctive covers on the shelves. You knew right away which book you were buying -- and that it would be a high quality piece of work, even if you had no clue who Bendis and Gaydos were.

When this series first came out, i was skeptical..thinking it was based on the TV show..boy was i WRONG! This is..or was one of my favorite bendis books, its so witty and just an all around great title. Ill miss it, and await the goodness, that will be The Pulse.
