As comic books reach out to a new female audience through genre fiction, one of the industry’s newest female artists will be at the forefront.

Nicole Virella, a young New York artist whose watercolor comics were exhibited this summer next to the work of David Mazzuchelli, gets her first real break into comics this summer onThe Mortal Instruments from Th3rd World Studios.

“I was very excited, especially since the story is set in New York City,” Virella said of her reaction to getting the job. “Being a fan of the Buffy series, I love creatures of lore, so I couldn’t wait to start creating the look for The Mortal Instruments series.”

What do you think?
