Aspen's blockbuster new series starts here! Enter Executive Assistant: Iris! Secretary. Bodyguard. Assassin. The Executive Assistant is all of the above rolled into one. She's meticulous, ruthlessly efficient and completely loyal to her employer. In the high-stakes web of corporate wealth and power, one young woman, Iris, must decide between her duty-and her conscience. When Iris' employer, Mr. Ching, decides to settle a dispute between himself and a deceitful Russian businessman - out of the pleasantries of the conference room - she is given the order to "force" a compromise. However, when the deadly realities of her obligations remind her of the tragic horrors of her past, Iris begins to question everything around her! Showcasing additional character design sketches and never before seen art, surrounded by a stunning cover illustrated by superstar Joe Benitez, this special #0 issue is an absolute must! Make sure to get in on the ground floor of this exciting new Aspen series, Executive Assistant: Iris!

Yes we will carry anything. Sigh.Date Available: 03/04/2009
BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS

Aspen comics has an interesting twist; don’t wait years to retroactively create an issue #0. Just start with issue #0. Written by David Wohl, and drawn by Eduardo Francisco, Iris #0 starts off by showcasing the fighting capabilities of the heroine, though I’ve seen far more talkative lead characters of a series. The main idea is that she needs to do some old-fashioned negotiations, and realistically speaking, that doesn’t involve a lot of discussion. It’s rare in comics to not see excessive chatter in fight scenes, and perhaps this tries to bring it back down to sanity. And she is only an Executive Assistant, after all. I also didn’t get a firm understanding of her nationality; she understands Mandarin, which is mainly Chinese, but dresses like a Ninja, which is mainly Japanese. Hope they don’t confuse the countries…Still, a good read, with a well-crafted story. I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams
