Aspen's Sixth "10 for 10" Book is Fathom

While Aspen Comics has been putting out a slew of new titles, they're best known for one title in particular: Fathom by the late publisher's founder Michael Turner. The book is ramping up to hit its 15th anniversary this summer and to celebrate, Aspen is making the all new Fathom #1 the sixth title in their "10 for 10" initiative. It'll be written by David Wohl, with illustrations by Alex Konat and colors by Beth Sotelo. The book will be in stores July 24 and Wohl has something to say about it.

"From the first time I ever heard Michael Turner talk about Fathom, I knew he was onto something very special and very cool. At that point, we were working on Witchblade together, and even then, I hoped that someday I'd have the opportunity to write it. And now, during the 10th Anniversary of Aspen Comics, I've gotten my chance, and I couldn't be more elated!"

Michael Turner’s best-selling series has reached its milestone 15-year anniversary. However, Aspen Matthews’ adventure under the surface has no plans of slowing down. Following the devastating events of “The Elite Saga”, Aspen Matthews finds herself at a decisive crossroads in her life—with the memories of her past no longer weighing her down, she is finally able to set about building a new life in San Diego once more. But, being the daughter of two worlds is no easy feat—and Aspen will quickly discover the winds of change oftentimes lead directly into the perils of fate.

As with all of Aspen’s “10 for 10” releases, the publisher will be offering a host of incentives for retailers and fans alike, including the extremely affordable price of only $1 for the first issue, Fathom #1. Aspen will also be offering a special Aspen Reserved Edition cover for Fathom #1 featuring art by Konat and colorist Peter Steigerwald. Fans who reserve Fathom #1 by adding it to their pullbox with their local retailers will be eligible to receive the Aspen Reserved Edition of Fathom #1.
