Dissension takes center stage in this pulse-pounding second issue of Aspen's all new FATHOM mini-series.
Absaloma is a member of the Blue, searching for answers to his own purpose within the ever-changing landscape under the surface.

Kidnapped by the race known as the Black, Eilah's lurid nightmares of this mythical species came to horrifying life when their arrival indeed turned into a reality. Now, with a new focused determination and motivation, it is up to Abseloma and his trusted childhood friend Zo to rescue his wife from the ominous race of the Black!
