ASPEN SEASONS: SUMMER 2006

Just in time, Aspen Comics has announced a September release for Aspen Seasons: Summer 2006 #1, a 32-page anthology book that will focus on the Fathom and Soulfire universes.

"One of the objectives we aim to achieve with our line of Aspen Seasons books is to establish a deeper understanding of our properties and this book allows us to do that," said Frank Mastromauro, Aspen executive vice president. "Our Spring and Fall editions included original content that was a departure from each series¹ respective storylines, but at the same time, helped to expand their universes. Upcoming Aspen Seasons titles will also adhere to this theme, whether it involve a Fathom, Soulfire, or Shrugged tale."

Summer's Fathom tale will be written and illustrated by Peter Steigerwald, who will look to deliver another strong examination of the habitat and humanity of the underwater civilization of the Blue.

The book will also feature a Soulfire story, with guest artist Khari Evans on pencils. Written by Vince Hernandez and featuring colors by Beth Sotelo, the Soulfire story will reveal the sinister and bloody trail left by the villainous Mr. Abel upon his quest for power.

IDW PUBLISHING'S ANGEL: MASKS

IDW Publishing has released several images from Angel: Masks, a 48-page Halloweeen-themed annual due in stores in October that focuses on members of Angel's supporting cast.

The issue features the IDW story debut of Angel's "felt-side" in the form of Puppet Angel, from the fan-favorite episode "Smile Time" in a story called "Mystery Date," by Jeff Mariotte and Stephen Mooney. Other stories include "Unacceptable Losses," by Scott Tipton and David Messina and featuring Illyria; Cordelia in "Foreshadowing," from Christopher Golden and Steph Stamb; and Lindsey making a surprise appearance in "Pencils and Paper Clips" by James Patrick and Sean Murphy.

"A summer annual featuring Joss Whedon's wonderful characters just didn't feel right to me," said IDW's Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall. "But soon, the leaves will be changing colors, the sky will be clouding up, and a chill will be felt in the air. Which seems the perfect time to delve deeper into these lesser-seen characters. Plus, you know, when a Puppet Angel-on-a-date story presents itself, you jump at the chance to get it out there."

Jeremy Geddes provides a painted Puppet Angel cover, and Zach Howard offers a variant cover.
