So far we have only had the preview in Worlds Of Aspen #3.
Anyone else looking forward to this as much as I am?

Wohl explained the idea behind Executive Assistant, saying that the story is historically accurate from the 1970s/’80s China, when women were trained as assistants and bodyguards for high-powered businessmen. “It was bad form to bring in a big, burly guy to a meeting, so these women were trained to be both servant and assistant, as well as bodyguards for the men they served,” Wohl said. “Our protagonist is an orphan who was pulled from her situation and trained to be a tool both for killing as well as pouring tea properly, and throughout the story, she realizes that what she’s become is probably not perhaps what she should be, as her ‘master’ is not a very nice person. It’s the story of her awakening.”
The story is based on true events, and Wohl noted that the “Iris” of the name is indicative of their being other “assistants” out there, all named after flowers. Eduardo Francisco, Jason Gorder, and John Starr are attached as artists for the project. |

Maybe you're confused with Sana Takeda who is working on Soulfire: Shadow Magic.
I personally cannot wait for this comic. I like the concept a lot and I love what I've seen art wise, which honestly never changes with this company. Yay David! And Eduardo, Jason, and John!

There is an EA promo piece by Siya out there but she will not be on the project. The artist for Iris is Eduardo Francisco who is really bringing an original, fresh style I think you guys will enjoy. But don't forget the name Siya as she will be doing an upcoming Aspen project also.

You of course mean you can't wait for Shadow Magic right, lol?
Just kidding, I love you D Wohl, Edu, Gorder and Starr!

See? Vince already knew who she is
Siya...as in Siyanimation. Really love her art..and she's easy on the eyes too, heh.
Siya Executive Assistant page
EA promo
That's good to hear that she will be involved in a project with you guys. I really love her Grace and Aspen art.
She'll definitely have my vote for a Akiko Nagata special
