Fathom Blue Descent # Cover Aott Clark

The mysteries of the Blue abound but none more so than the faded origin of Fathom's leading heroine, Aspen Matthews.

The past, once washed away amongst the ocean tides is now at the forefront as Aspen's early childhood years--and the pain, anguish, and murder, which would shape her future, are finally revealed! In this thrilling introductory zero issue, Aspen descends into her past life, setting herself on a quest to once-and-for-all put to rest the secrets of her origin and discover her true heritage that lies beneath the surface!

With Fathom's return at hand, some new creators and several familiar names are coming along for the ride! Taking charge of the writing chores is David Schwartz, known for his critically acclaimed Image Comics title Meltdown. Art duties for all of Aspen's curvaceous lines and intricate environments will be handled by Scott Clark of Stormwatch, Alpha Flight and X-Men fame.
