Alias #16

Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos kick off "The Underneath" — a six-part arc — with a cover by David Mack that feels more like a found-art collage than a traditional comic book image: a torso framed against a chalkboard scrawled with the question "If you had a wish, what would it be?", layered with torn paper scraps, cut-out text ("the best future is the one we walk into well-"), and a single outstretched hand reaching from the lower corner. It's a quietly unsettling visual that sets a deeply personal, introspective tone for this Marvel MAX series. If you've been following Jessica Jones through Alias, this opening chapter promises something more inward and searching than a straightforward superhero adventure.
