Iron and the Maiden is Aspen Comics' first creator-owned comic book from Jason Rubin, co-founder of Naughty Dog and the key creative force behind Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter. It was released in September, 2007.

Creators

As well as Rubin on scripting duties, penciling is being done by Witchblade artist Francis Manapul, with backgrounds by Joel Gomez. Coloring is being done by Danimation,[1] with cover art coming from industry veteran Jeff Matsuda. The character concept art was created by Joe Madureira, of Battle Chasers fame, and Matsuda. Concept design work was handled by Blur Studio.

Plot

Iron and the Maiden is a four issue mini-series portraying an alternate-universe 1930s metropolis. "The City" is struggling to survive a three-way battle for power between The Government, the ominous religious sect The Order, and the seedy criminal underbelly led by The Syndicate. Caught in the middle of this war for power, Michael Iron discovers firsthand the meaning of sacrifice, his only hope for survival coming in the form of a forgiving Angel and several more unexpected surprises along the way.

Rubin has described it as "a cross between a '30's gangster film, Escape from New York, and Beauty and the Beast."[2]
