Fathom: Blue Descent #3 Reveals Secrets


Fans of Aspen Matthews have waited long for the answers to questions previously asked since its debut in 1999. How did Aspen Matthews come to have a mother from The Blue and a father from the ancient race known only as “The Black? How did Killian come up with the concept for his Blue Sun attack? And, perhaps the question asked most often, where did Aspen’s necklace come from and what secrets does it hold?

In Fathom Blue Descent #3 readers will learn exactly what her necklace is and what it can do. Inevitably, these answers will have an impact on Aspen's future, assuming she can figure out how to properly use the necklace.

Fathom: Blue Descent is a prequel to the overall Fathom series according to Aspen MLT’s Editor-in-Chief Vince Hernandez: “The idea was to go back and tell the secret history that Michael Turner had always alluded to, but had never quite revealed within the pages of the first three volumes. I think the fans are gonna be incredibly blown away when all of those secrets stemming out of issue three--all as part of a compelling, gripping story and with truly gorgeous art.”

The issue will be in stores this week. It's written by David B. Schwartz, featuring art by Alex Sanchez, colors by John Starr and Peter Steigerwald and covers by Michael Turner, Alex Sanchez and Nick Bradshaw.
