Press Release
02-07-13
To celebrate the upcoming launch of their August release in
their “10 for 10” initiative, Aspen Comics will be giving their fans and
readers the opportunity to decide that month’s all new series. The choice will
be offered between the following two properties:
Awaken Skies - Coping with high school is difficult enough,
but when a young girl named Hilary makes the startling discovery that she has
the ability of flight, her normal life suddenly takes on an all-new meaning.
But, there are others who know of Hilary’s unique abilities, and they will stop
at nothing to possess her in their pursuit of shifting the world’s power
balance of mankind itself. High school doesn’t seem so difficult anymore.
Overtaken - Journalist Will Harden is well equipped for most
situations, but nothing can prepare him for what’s about to come. Relocating
from the big city to a small mountain town with his wife, everything is turned
upside-down the moment she goes missing. Are the rumors of alien abductions
true or did something far worse happen to his wife? No matter the cause, Harden
will not stop until he uncovers the truth, or dies trying.
Both all new properties are created and will be written by
Frank Mastromauro, co-creator of Shrugged
and Dellec, and will feature the “10
for 10” incentives package including a $1 first issue price, an Aspen Reserved
Edition cover, original hand drawn covers, Aspen Retailer Exclusive covers, and
future covers by J. Scott Campbell, Eric “Ebas” Basaldua and more.
Aspen has made the online voting process simple for fans to
select their favorite choice of Aspen’s two candidates: whichever book’s
official Facebook fan page: facebook.com/AwakenSkies
or facebook.com/OvertakenComic has
the most “Likes” by 10:00 am PST Friday, March 1st will be chosen as
Aspen’s next new series. Each page will be updated daily with first looks,
artwork, news and more. Aspen encourages fans to select their choice and share
their favorite with their friends.
For more information, Aspen will be posting updates on their
official Aspen Facebook page as well as www.aspencomics.com.
