Aspen is pleased to announce that the second release in
their ambitious “10 for 10” initiative, Shrugged
#1, has ordered in excess of over 32,000 copies and will feature a large array
of retailer exclusive covers personalized for each individual store. Aspen
Owner and President Frank Mastromauro discusses:
“As the writer and co-creator of the series, I couldn’t be
happier with the great response we’ve had to the long awaited return of
Shrugged. After having it on the schedule for several years, seeing it come
back as one of the ‘10 for 10’ launch titles is a complete thrill. This volume
was born with an idea Michael Turner had for the sequel to our first volume of
the series, and I couldn’t be more proud bringing to life for everyone!”
Aspen is pricing each debut #1 “10 for 10” issue for the
affordable price of only $1 and is also offering other incentives for each
release such as original hand-drawn sketch covers, CGC editions, and special
retailer incentive covers by popular artists J. Scott Campbell and Eric “Ebas”
Basaldua.
Fans and new Aspen readers who add each of the “10 for 10”
titles to their comic shop’s local subscription service will be eligible to
receive the special Aspen Reserved Edition variant covers. Those fans who
collect all ten Aspen Reserved Edition #1 covers will receive a free full-size
Aspen “Perfect 10’s” Jam Poster featuring all ten “10 for 10” covers on one
image colored by superstar colorist Peter Steigerwald. The Shrugged #1 Aspen Reserved Edition cover features artwork by series
