ASPEN COMICS ANNOUNCES JIRNI BY J.T. KRUL


Aspen Comics has announced Jirni as its third release in its "10 for 10" anninversary initiative. The fantasy-adventure comic is created by writer J.T. Krul, with art by Paolo Pantalena and Brett Smith.

Here's how the book is described:

"Discover a whole new world of adventure! Trekking through a violent and dangerous frontier of savage barbarians, devious thieves, and wild creatures, a warrior-princess named Ara searches for her mother, who was stolen away from her kingdom by a mysterious sorcerer with the help of his powerful D'jinn. What great and terrible secrets await her in the distant horizon? Prepare to experience an epic tale of fantasy and wonder without boundaries. This is Ara's quest. This is Ara's destiny. This is Ara's - Jirni."

"Jirni is a celebration of all the things I love about fantasy and adventure," Krul said. "It's the tale of a girl on a quest beyond anything she ever imagined, venturing into a world she barely knew existed. For anyone who has been captivated by the vivid imagery of Frazetta's masterpieces, this book is for you. For anyone who relished in the visceral energy of Conan the Barbarian or got lost on the rich mythic sagas of Excalibur or Clash of the Titans; for anyone who rolled a ten-sided die or refused to leave Middle Earth; for anyone who followed such adventurers as Flash Gordon or John Carter, or walked the long and crazy path with a gunslinger named Roland, this book is for you. Don't miss it. It's going to be a hell of a Jirni."

As part of Aspen's "10 for 10" initiative, Jirni #1 will be priced at $1, and will feature a host of incentives. The first issue will feature a direct cover by the series team of Pantalena and Smith, while fans who add the series to their local comic shop's subscription box are eligible for the special Jirni #1 Aspen Reserved Edition cover by Pantalena and colorist Peter Steigerwald. Fans who collect all 10 of Aspen's "10 for 10" Reserved Edition covers will be eligible to receive the free full-size Aspen Comics "10 for 10" Jam Poster from their local retailer.
