I’ve been looking forward to this series since the covers were revealed and I’m glad that it didn’t disappoint. I’m very curious to see how Ara’s Jirni plays out and the scope of the overall plot. Depending on the villains’ endgame this series could go on for quite a while as Ara explores the world and as long as it’s interesting I wouldn’t mind that at all… just don’t change the art.

Aspen can add another new character to their line up. J.T. Krul introduces us to a new character and whole new world full of action, magic and mystery and suspense.

With big fantasy action and great visuals, this comic gives us something different compared to the plethora of superhero books on the stands. JIRNI is something you should definitely check out.

All-in-all, if you can get past the hypersexualization of our heroine, youll find that Aspen Comics has woven together a comic with the potential to be pretty good. Read Full Review

"Jirni" #1 pulls no punches in establishing a confident and (overly) sexy heroine with a will that is unchecked and a quest that can be supported. This is familiar territory for readers of fiction, fantasy, science fiction and comics, but Krul brings newness to the story beyond the featured purple-skinned warrior woman on the cover. Ara's powers are impressive and effective and her conscience quickly assumes responsibility for Nylese, who is set upon a quest of her own. Of the three titles I've sampled in Aspen's "10 for 10," I think "Jirni" has the most complete world to offer. This is a title I'll more likely be checking in with than the others, I just wish it weren't so (butt)cheeky. Read Full Review

Buy Jirni #1 for Paolo Pantalena's pin-up art or for cosplay ideas, but not for an exciting story. Read Full Review
