“Iron and the Maiden has been stuck in my head for over 8 years. It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience to work with such great talent as Joe Madureira, Jeff Matsuda, Francis Manapul, Joel Gomez, and Danimation, and to finally bring this series out,” said creator Jason Rubin on the release of his first comic book by Aspen's top team.
The series will also feature a host of guest covers by Jim Lee, Michael Turner, Chris Bachalo and many more. The new Aspen Comics series will also break the standard comic book format with each issue jam packed with 28 full pages of story.
“Iron and the Maiden is an innovative story alongside gorgeous artwork created by the industry’s finest talents. Jason Rubin is a brilliant creator whose work in the video game industry speaks for itself, and we couldn’t be happier to have his first comic vision in our line of books!”
