OSSM Comics’s new miniseries Thaniel is set to debut in April, with the final-order cutoff for the second issue just having passed and a pair of books expected to hit the stands that month.Launching April 9 with a second issue on April 23, Thaniel is written by OSSM’s CEO Omar Spahi with art by Terry Huddleston, and revolves around a young man who grew up around death his whole life, losing his friends, enemies, and his mother. Soon after his mother’s passing, Thaniel realizes a power source inside him, one that may be the reason for the loss he’s experienced. Wanting to aim that power at evil people, Thaniel upsets the balance by using his power to stop crime. By doing this, Death, the Grim Reaper himself, comes a knocking, with many revelations for the young man, including his true destiny.It’s got a unique look which, at first glance, is a lot like any number of slick and over-produced indie books–but the rough nature of the book’s backgrounds set those very fluid-looking characters and objects in the foreground into sharper relief, and give an almost 3D sense to the title. It’s just the first thing that jumps off the page at you when flipping through Thaniel’s not-for-kids first issue.
