ASPEN COMICS' FATHOM: BLUE DESCENT

Aspen Comics' Fathom returns in April with Fathom: Blue Descent, a mini-series written by David Schwartz and illustrated by Scott Clark.

Aspen has provided The Continuum a first look at David Finch's cover for the first issue. Click on the thumbnail for a larger image.

During The Continuum's visit to Aspen's offices in Culver City, Calif. on Wednesday, Kate Jewell talked to colorist Peter Steigerwald about working with his long-time friend Finch.

Here's how Aspen describes Fathom: Blue Descent:

"Memories of the past come crashing into the present in this exciting all-new Aspen mini-series, Fathom: Blue Descent! Aspen Matthews is the link between the world we know and the world below, but the secrets of her past have always remained shrouded in mystery -- until now! Fathom: Blue Descent journeys back to the life of Aspen's true parents, members of the underwater race known as the Blue, and the strife they encountered before she grew to become the woman we know today. An all-new cast of characters -- and some familiar faces as well -- kick off this exciting premiere #1 issue in dramatic fashion!  

"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. Together, this dynamic duo is looking forward to putting their stamp on Fathom: Blue Descent as never before!"

Look for more on Fathom: Blue Descent and much more from The Continuum's visit to Aspen soon.

A young man named Stephen (guest star Carlo Marks) steals the comic book and develops super powers, transforming himself into Warrior Angel and saving Chloe (Allison Mack) from a horrible accident.

"Meanwhile, Lois (Erica Durance) becomes jealous of Clark's relationship with Zatanna."
