"It isn't much of a surprise that Nick and I share a lot of the same nerdy passions, or that we're still twelve at heart, so you can see loves of that era in the DNA of this book. It's like The Legend of Zelda and Bone got together and Studio Ghibli came to film the show, you know?", said artist Alex Eckman-Lawn.
"Samantha is bored out of her skull. She lives on an island, her entire world is covered in ocean, and she's explored pretty much every crusty corner of the sunken city that surrounds her home. She's just about accepted a tedious, excitement-free life when a contest with a rival diver sends her deep into the sunken city's forbidden zone where she discovers a pathway to a world more exciting and dangerous than anything she's ever imagined--a world full of uncharted lands, mysterious creatures, and the mythical Thanatos Diver who, depending on the teller, is rumored to either save both worlds or destroy them..."
The series, which debuted to fantastic reviews on Free Comic Book Day, already has the first 13 page preloaded, with updates to begin today! Completed chapters will eventually be released in incredibly handsome and irresistible print books you can use to impress your friends.
Th3rd World Studios co-publisher Jon Conkling: "When we received the pitch for Thanatos Diver we were pretty blown away by the world that Nick and Alex had pitched to us. I know that it sounds like a broken record, but I couldn't help but remember the feeling I had when I first started playing Wind Waker. "
