<p>Today we&#39;re joined by writer/artist/colorist extraordinaire, Brendan Albetski, the sole creator of Maru Kiru: Destroy the Moon!</p><p><br></p><p>Be sure to back the latest issue on Kickstarter at <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brendanalbetski/maru-kiru-destroy-the-moon-the-chosen-ones-2" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brendanalbetski/maru-kiru-destroy-the-moon-the-chosen-ones-2</a></p><p><br></p><p>We discuss the creative origins of Maru Kiru, as well as the evolution of the comic&#39;s art style over its ongoing publication history.</p><p>We also talk a bit about Brendan&#39;s other comics, like Circuit Champ, Pond Scum, and the World Ends in Fire. Of course, no episode of Giant Sized Violence would be complete without getting into the various hyper interests that inspired out guests, so there&#39;s plenty of discussion around our shared love of Conan the Barbarian, Real Steel, and fantasy media of all shapes and sizes!</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Brendan on:</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brendanalbetski/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/brendanalbetski/</a></p><p>BlueSky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/brendanalbetski.bsky.social YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@brendanalbetski" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://bsky.app/profile/brendanalbetski.bsky.social</a></p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/brendanalbetski.bsky.social YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@brendanalbetski" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@brendanalbetski</a></p><p><br></p><p>You can support Giant Sized Violence by backing us on Patreon at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/KeymasterCollective" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.patreon.com/cw/KeymasterCollective</a></p><p><br></p><p>Also, check out our YouTube channel to see the video version of today&#39;s episode:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GiantSizedViolence" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/@GiantSizedViolence</a></p><p><br></p><p>Improved Transcripts available on: https://freepodcasttranscription.com/transcription/d6f64eee822fe72d2765e70e298f7ab3ccbf8335.srt</p>
