Fathom is the story of a scantily clad, ass kicking female who can do cool stuff in water (like Aquaman but without the Y chromosome). As it’s in its 4th volume, I had no clue what was going on story-wise, but the pictures were incredibly beautiful. Artist Alex Konat (who illustrated Mindfield, which is another ace comic) draws these incredibly beautiful sea-scapes, and there’s one panel that is really breathtaking, I have no idea what I was looking at but I guess that’s one of the reasons why I want more.

There’s not really much more I can say, Fathom #0 is an incredibly pretty book, where important stuff happens, but I guess it follows on from the previous volume so it went right over my head. If you’ve been following Fathom, definitely pick it up, if not and you’re looking for some incredibly pretty pictures and a head-first introduction into a new world… Dive in.
