Executive Assistant Iris #1

Collecting the complete first volume of Aspen's 2011 series, Executive Assistant: Iris presents the full arc of one of comics' most striking protagonists — a lethal professional who blends corporate poise with deadly skill. The cover, penciled and inked by Joe Benitez, says it all: Iris stands poised in a sharp black suit, a stiletto balanced delicately in one gloved hand and what appears to be a small explosive device dangling from the other, her cool gaze radiating controlled menace against a deep violet backdrop. Writer David Wohl and artist Eduardo Francisco craft a world where the phrase "executive assistant" carries a very different kind of weight.
