Aspen is planning to celebrate the publisher’s tenth
anniversary this February in a big way, with their largest offering of new
titles in their history.

Launching their special “10 for 10” initiative that will
feature ten new series releases, one each month over the span of ten months.
Aspen’s “10 for 10” will debut with the launch of Legend of the Shadow Clan #1
on February 6th, 2013. From creators David Wohl and Brad Foxhoven
(Executive Assistant: Iris) and the art team of Cory Smith and John Starr
(Broken Pieces, Fathom), Legend of the Shadow Clan marks Aspen’s first all new
property of 2013. Below is the publisher’s solicitation for the new Aspen
release:
Meet the Arashi family. They are like any other family living in
the city: kids in school, parents working to make ends meet. But unbeknownst to
even them, their ancestors held a dark secret: they were a clan of ninja in
feudal Japan, in the employ of a prominent leader. But when that leader was
murdered under mysterious circumstances, the Arashi Clan was blamed, and forced
to flee, going into hiding. Over the centuries, the descendants lost track of
the ancient ways. They came to America, abandoning their sordid past to distant
memory. However, recently, their secret has been discovered--their ancient
enemy has returned, and won't rest until every member of the Arashi clan is
killed. Now, the Arashi family must rediscover their long-forgotten birthright
if they hope to have any chance of surviving the onslaught to come, and along
the way, they will learn the LEGEND OF THE SHADOWCLAN.
To celebrate the first release of
the “10 for 10” initiative and to thank fans and retailers for their support in
getting Aspen Comics to the milestone decade mark, Aspen is releasing the first
issue of Legend of the Shadow Clan for the highly affordable price of only $1.
As well, every subsequent #1 issue for each new release in Aspen’s “10 for 10”
program will be offered at the same low $1 price.
To help support comic shops’ push
for Legend of the Shadow #1 and the Aspen “10 for 10” titles to follow, Aspen
is offering a multitude of special incentives for stores to choose from on the
debut issue, priced at a near Free Comic Book Day level to retailers:
Every fan or new reader who lets
their local retailer know to add Legend of the Shadow Clan #1 to their
subscription box is eligible to receive the special “Aspen Reserved Edition” cover for each “10 for 10” #1 title.
Fans who collect all ten Reserved Edition covers at their local comic book
store will then be eligible to receive the free Aspen “10 for 10” Jam Poster (to
be revealed soon!) featuring characters from all ten titles and colored by
superstar colorist Peter Steigerwald.
