Aspen is pleased to announce that the third release in their
ambitious “10 for 10” initiative, Jirni
#1 by J.T. Krul, Paolo Pantalena and Brett Smith, has ordered in excess of over
36,000 copies and will feature a large array of retailer exclusive covers
personalized for each individual store. Aspen Owner and President Frank
Mastromauro discusses:
“To say
we're happy with the response to Jirni #1 would be a complete understatement.
Though we felt the property would do well, we're thrilled with the amount of
feedback and interest we've received on it so far. JT, Paolo and Brett did an
amazing job on this book and I cannot wait to hear what the fans think about
it. This series marks our highest selling '10 for 10' debut this year, and I
don't see that slowing down anytime soon!”
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 Jirni #1 Aspen Reserved Edition
cover features artwork by series artist Paolo Pantalena and Steigerwald.
