Out May 1stMichael Moreci, Nathan Gooden, thanks for being on the AIPT comics podcast!We've heard that Born in Blood is a perfect jumping-on point for new readers! Why is that?We're super into magic rules at AIPT. Do you have a Barbaric Bible?It's kind of impossible not to get heavy metal vibes from this series, so I have to ask: Do you fellas listen to any particular bands to get in the headspace for Barbaric? Would it be out of line to guess Mastodon is on rotation? DeftonesFans who listen to this show and immediately rush to their comic shop have a few trade paperbacks to enjoy, but those on the fence, what has the 3+ journey been like for the characters in the story?And what has been the 3+ year journey been like for you!?Born in Blood #1 is free to retailers, and I'm so fascinated by this! Most sales are highest with a first issue, does it make you nervous making it free to retailers?As of when this recording airs, the Barbaric "Join The Horde" Crowdbuilding Campaign™ will be available to join, is there an aspect of this campaign you're most excited for fans to dig into?Do you have any other projects you'd like to talk about?
Do you ever wonder what happened to Thanos after his supposed death in Captain Marvel #33. That first classic story crafted by Jim Starlin where Thanos was defeated by Captain marvel seemingly ended with the Mad Titans death, but a few months later he showed up in the pages of Warlock. How and why was Thanos spared? The master of Marvel cosmos himself is back to fill in the gaps, Jim Starlin along with his frequent artistic collaborator Ron Lim gives us an amazing tale that ties into the past as well as the future of Thanos. This tale adds so much to the character and even serves as a wonderful introduction to the character for any who are not familiar with the would be conqueror. Finally we will mention that goign back and retroactively telling tales that fit seamlessly into continuity is an extremely difficult feat, but Starling pulls it off flawlessly and other creators should take note of how to do it properly.

He talks with us about what you can expect to see if you go on the Batman tour, the Warners lot, the Conan and Ellen shows (both of which Brad also works for) and so much more! Let's just say the second half involves cameos from Madonna, Darla from The Little Rascals and Optimus Prime (sort of). A final word about this episode. We were dogged with technical issues left and right when we recorded. There were a couple of dropouts. (Lying - MANY dropouts.) We edited all of it together but left a portion of the nods to the dropouts in for poops and giggles. Enjoy!
