When most people think of an Executive Assistant, we think of someone who makes copies, takes phone calls, and maybe fetches tea from time to time. All reasonable expectations for the gig. While it would be great to have an Executive Assistant in real life, their adventures would hardly seem to be the stuff of action-packed comics. Luckily for readers, when the guys at Aspen think of an Executive Assistant, they have something ENTIRELY different in mind. The truth is revealed in Executive Assistant Iris #0!
Sure, Iris does fetch tea and hover quietly in the background while her boss, Mr. Ching, meets with his business partners. However, when his meetings take a negative turn, Iris has a much more demanding job to do! Iris is clearly trained in a lot more than how to use the fax machine. When her true talents are needed, she becomes a highly efficient, black-clad, killing machine.
This 0 issue gives readers a taste of Iris in action when Mr. Ching's deal with a shady Russian businessman named Nikolai Krilov falls apart. It seems Mr. Krilov does not mind stabbing a partner in the back when a more lucrative offer comes his way. What he doesn't realize is that two days later, when Iris infiltrates his fortified Russian estate, there will be some more literal stabbing. And shooting. Oh, and some arm breaking and head kicking, too! Man, I would LOVE to have a handy assistant to make appointments and give people an occasional kick to the head.
Executive Assistant Iris is one of the last characters worked on by Aspen founder Michael Turner. Series writer David Wohl and artist Eduardo Francisco are clearly striving to make sure Iris lives up to her full potential, to become a new star on the comics scene. This 0 issue does a great job of introducing readers to Iris and her world with a complete story that offers just a taste of what they have planned down the road. Francisco's art gorgeous and detailed, and perfectly captures the visceral nature of the action when Iris has to throw down with Krilov's ex-KGB thugs. As a bonus, this issue also includes some very nice pre-production art, including character designs for Iris from Michael Turner and Joe Benitez.
If you dream of having an assistant who looks amazing in her sharp business attire, makes a killer cup of tea, and can kill a compound full of underworld muscle, you can't afford to miss Executive Assistant Iris #0. (I'm not the only one who has that dream, right?) This is a perfect chance to be in at the start of a great new book! This issue will get you started, and the first issue of the ongoing series will be hitting the stands in June. Not only are you getting a great story for just $2.50, Four Color Fantasies will guarantee your money back if you don't enjoy this Book of the Week! Besides, you wouldn't want to wake up to find an annoyed Executive Assistant about to ninja you into next week, would you? I don't think so.
