Exclusive: Fathom: Blue Descent #1

Next week Aspen Comics plans to release an all new four issue mini- series featuring the publisher's biggest headliner, Aspen Matthews. Fathom: Blue Descent will be written by David Schwartz with art by Alex Sanchez and John Starr. The book will tell the story of Aspen Matthews' childhood, delving further into the history of her parents and their "deadly struggle to keep their family intact."

If I had to guess, I would probably say that the story might take place prior to her parent's murder and may possibly explain the meaning behind it. Why were her parents brutally killed? How did it help to develop her character as a whole? Did it make her stronger? I personally tend to enjoy it any time a creative team wants to take an established character and to delve into their back story and psychology. What about you? Are you looking forward to this new Fathom series?

Fathom: Blue Descent #1 will hit September 1st, 2010.
