Aspen Comics announced a new design for Kiani, the warrior heroine of Michael Turner’s Fathom series.  Her new look will debut in Fathom: Kiani Vol. 4, releasing in February.
 
The publisher tasked artist Alex Konat (All New Michael Turner’s Fathom) as well Giuseppe Cafaro & Wes Hartman (Fathom: Kiani) with updating the ten-year old character.  "(A)s our company and fan base continue to evolve, a new generation of readers will be introduced to this wonderful character, including a much larger female audience.  We wanted to honor that spirit of progress by updating the look and feel of the series with an exciting new design," said Fathom: Kiani writer Vince Hernandez.
