This summer, Aspen Comics is set to release the first of two Aspen Annual oversized issues, beginning with their flagship title, Michael Turner’s Fathom, on June 18th, followed by the release of Turner’s Soulfire Annual #1 this July. These all-new Annual issues will showcase current Aspen talent as well as new Aspen writers and artists.

Michael Turner’s Fathom Annual #1 will contain three all-new stories featuring the talents of David Wohl with Dennis Calero, Nei Ruffino writing and illustrating her first Fathom tale and Vince Hernandez with Jordan Gunderson and Jasen Smith. The oversized Fathom Annual #1 issue will also contain a special classic Fathom Preview story by Turner, Scott Lobdell, Joe Weems and Jonathan D. Smith with Peter Steigerwald.

The publisher’s Fathom Annual #1 will be in stores on June 18th and will offer a direct edition cover by Turner and Steigerwald, along with an exclusive Fathom Annual #1 sketch edition variant by Turner, limited to 200 copies, available on the release date.
