On May 21st, Aspen Comics and writer J.T. Krul (Green
Arrow, Soulfire), along with artist Paolo Pantalena (Jirni Volume 1) and Brett
Smith (Suicide Squad, Jirni Volume 1), return to the fantasy adventure series
Jirni for the eagerly awaited second chapter. Volume two follows Ara’s
continued quest to find her kidnapped mother before she is enslaved forever to
the treacherous sorcerer Torinthal.
"We were all thrilled with the success and reception
that Jirni received last year, and I am super stoked to be continuing Ara's
adventures in Volume Two,” says writer J.T. Krul. “She's such a strong and
determined character, and the quest to find her mother is really just
beginning. The first volume was merely a launching point for Ara, as she began
what is going to be one hell of a long journey. In many ways, the classical
fantasy elements of this book mirror Conan, in that it's focused on a singular,
independent character venturing into uncharted territory, discovering new
worlds and civilizations. We've got a lot planned for Ara in this new volume
from crazy creatures and incredible dangers, to pirates and wizards, and
perhaps even a love interest."
Jirni #1 will feature two direct edition covers by
Pantalena, and will be released at your local comic shop on May 21st, 2014.
Jirni Volume 2 will also feature upcoming covers by Mirka Andolfo (Damsels in
Excess), Jordan Gunderson (Executive Assistant: Assassins) and more to be
announced by the publisher.
