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?
