03-04-13
Following a month-long online fan voting process to choose
Aspen Comics’ next series, the publisher has announced that Overtaken has won the contest and will debut
on August 21st as their “10 for 10” release for that month. Created
by Frank Mastromauro, this all new sci-fi, action adventure series is
described:
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 die trying.
Overtaken will be
written by Mastromauro with art by newcomer Marco Lorenzana. Aspen
Editor-in-Chief Vince Hernandez discusses Lorenzana’s participation:
“Marco has a truly amazing story on how he showed up on our
radar. He was visiting Los Angeles
and was staying with family, and on a whim he decided to take a chance and show
up at our studio with his portfolio in hand. As it turned out, his artwork was
outstanding and Frank asked him to stay. From that day forward Marco spent
countless hours honing his craft in the studio and he just took off from there.
We’re really excited to have Marco on the project and are eager to show
everyone what he’s capable of.”
Aspen will be supporting the release of Overtaken #1 will all of their successful “10 for 10” incentives
including the Aspen Reserved Edition and Aspen Retailer Exclusive covers, as
well as special variant covers by J. Scott Campbell, Eric Basaldua and more to
be announced shortly.
