Fathom #1

In the depths of the ocean, Aspen Matthews steps into the isolated Deep Marine Discovery research station, eager to begin her new role—only to be stunned by the sight of an extraordinary alien being, a humanoid from the sea, held captive by the station’s scientists. As she navigates the tense atmosphere and the secrets buried beneath the waves, she finds herself drawn into a mystery that blurs the line between curiosity and captivity.

In the aftermath of a catastrophic missile strike on the Deep Marine Discovery research station, Aspen Matthews survives where others do not—her body beginning to transform in ways no one can explain. As Chance, the test pilot responsible for the attack, pulls her from the wreckage, he witnesses something impossible: her form dissolving into shimmering bubbles, drifting through the ocean like a ghost. With the station in ruins and the truth buried beneath the waves, the line between life and something else begins to blur.

In the wake of a catastrophic event, Aspen Matthews awakens in Hawaii, her altered physiology hinting at a deeper mystery beneath the ocean’s surface. As tensions rise between the surface world and those who dwell beneath, Chance faces the consequences of his actions while confronting the growing threat posed by Killian’s forces. With the fate of both worlds hanging in the balance, alliances begin to shift—and secrets long buried start to surface.
