Secretary. Bodyguard. Assassin. The Executive Assistant is all of the above rolled into one. She’s meticulous, ruthlessly efficient and completely loyal to her employer. But… In the high-stakes web of corporate wealth and power, one young woman, Iris, must decide between her duty — and her conscience. When Iris’ employer, Mr. Ching, decides to settle a dispute between himself and a deceitful Russian businessman–out of the pleasantries of the conference room, she is given the order to ‘force’ a compromise. However, when the deadly realities of her obligations remind her of the tragic horrors of her past, Iris begins to question everything around her!
From the creative minds of Wohl and Michael Turner, this 16-page story sets the stage for the brand-new Executive Assistant: Iris #1 issue coming this June. Showcasing additional character design sketches and never-before-seen art.
