The publisher is proud to announce the first “10 for 10” title for February, with the release of the action-adventure epic Legend of the Shadow Clan, created by Executive Assistant Iris creators David Wohl and Brad Foxhoven. With the art team of Cory Smith (Broken Pieces) and John Starr (Fathom, Soulfire) bringing to life the creator’s vision of a storied history of clan warfare and honor mixed with a contemporary story of power and corruption. Legend of the Shadow Clan creator Wohl elaborates:

Legend of the Shadow Clan is a concept that's been near and dear to my heart for several years now, and I'm thrilled that it can be part of Aspen's 10-for-10 campaign. When Michael founded Aspen nearly 10 years ago, he cultivated an environment where creativity thrived, and all of Aspen's titles have reflected that vision. Now, with the great team that Aspen has put together, we have an opportunity to follow in those tremendous footsteps, and I couldn't be more excited, and honored, to be part of it. Thank you to Michael, and Aspen, for making this opportunity possible, and here's to many more years of creativity to come!"
