Michael Turner's Fathom Prelude

In 2005, Aspen Comics launched Michael Turner's Fathom Prelude as a single-issue reintroduction to the aquatic world of Aspen Matthews and the Blue. Scripted by J. T. Krul and Michael Turner, with art by Alé Garza, it bridges the original Top Cow series into the new Aspen era, setting the stage for the character's expanded mythology. Though brief, this issue matters as a key transition point for one of the most visually iconic heroines of the 2000s.
