Surrounded by death his entire life, THANIEL is a high-school dropout with a very troubled path that only gets more complex when he discovers that his father is the Grim Reaper himself, Death. Written and created by Omar Spahi (XENOGPLYPHS) with art by Terry Huddleston, THANIEL launches in April with its first two issues of a four issue mini-series, each\u00a0issue priced at $3.99. Both issues will be available at your local comic shop and online at\u00a0<\/span>www.ossmcomics.com<\/a>, April 9<\/span>th<\/sup>\u00a0(issue 1) and April 23<\/span>rd<\/sup>\u00a0(issue 2).<\/span><\/p>\n A cross between \u201cBoys N The Hood\u201d and \u201cDead Like Me,\u201d THANIEL blends together different genres that don\u2019t often crossover. Having grown up on the wrong side of the tracks, THANIEL has been surrounded by loss. He\u2019s lost close friends and family, particularly his own mother, who was taken far before her time. After her passing, THANIEL comes face to face with his destiny as energy begins to manifest within him. Discovering that this energy is cosmically linked to death, THANIEL tries to aim his new power at evil people in his city, trying to bring some good to the world. These acts of his bring the attention of another being tied to the cosmos, Death, the Grim Reaper, who claims to be THANIEL\u2019S father, with a very dark plan for his son.<\/p>\n \u201cThaniel\u2019s one of those characters I sadly don\u2019t see enough of in comics,\u201d Huddleston explains about the title character. \u201cHe\u2019s proactive, street smart, and visually very interesting to draw. I\u2019m very excited to be a part of this new project.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a real pleasure collaborating with Terry on this book, bringing to life, and death, a really unique character,\u201d Spahi says excitedly. \u201cWe\u2019re aiming to create a comic book series that Terry and I have always wanted to read, and I think we did just that. It\u2019s hard work. Hopefully people enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n PRAISE FOR THANIEL<\/p>\n “Sharp, stylized, and fun!\u201d -Brian Buccellato (THE FLASH, DETECTIVE COMICS)<\/p>\n “Great story with beautiful art! 5 out of 5 pocket protectors!\u201d -Nerd Nation Radio<\/p>\n \u201cQuite honestly one of the best books to read while at gunpoint.\u201d -Luke Anthony, The Outhousers<\/p>\n BLEEDING COOL<\/a>\u00a0recently did a great piece on the upcoming series, showing off artwork from the first issue, a sneak peek at the cover to the upcoming third issue, and a nice bio on the book\u2019s main characters.<\/p>\n For more information on THANIEL, both the\u00a0SON OF THE REAPER<\/a>\u00a0website is now active, as is the new\u00a0OSSM COMICS<\/a>\u00a0site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Surrounded by death his entire life, THANIEL is a high-school dropout with a very troubled path that only gets more complex when he discovers that his father is the Grim Reaper himself, Death.
