Aspen has had a very narrow focus as a publisher, with a dozen Fathom and Soulfire series, minis and spin-offs. Honestly, I can't really tell the difference between the art or the characters or the stories of Fathom and Soulfire. I've even read the first nine issues of the original Fathom and was unimpressed by it all. This issue gives us previews of Fathom Vol 3 #0 and Soulfire #8 and my opinion on those series remains the same. Also in this issue is a preview of Shrugged #8, which has an interesting hook, but this preview, #1 and #5's preview in the previous FCBD books fall apart in the execution. Executive Assistant: Iris is a preview of a trained killer as executive assistant that may do well for a short mini series. I'll see how I feel about that in the winter when it comes out.
