I'm joined today by newcomer on the show Max Hoven. I was first introduced to his work a few years ago with It Eats What Feeds It and Max is back at it again with the same creative team, co-writer and friend Aaron Crow and artist Gabriel Iumazark, with a fantastic cyberpunk horror project called Liquid Kill which has been described as Ghost In The Shell meets John Wick. The first six issues are in the wild now and are being collected into a trade with arc two green lit and scheduled to be released a little later this year from Massive Publishing. Gabriel's stunning artistic work reminds me a lot of Sean Murphy's work on Tokyo Ghost and if you are looking for a dark futuristic sci-fi read, make sure to pick this up. I loved it.

Max also has a great YouTube channel called Indie Comic Empire with videos designed and tailored to help other comics creators navigating the sometimes rough waters of publishing and producing their work. Make sure to check it out.

From the publisher

For the staff and clientele of a mysterious island hotel, it’s just another night of luxury and vice until members of Liquid Kill (a notoriously violent, all-female militia), lay siege. Demanding compliance or death as they gather intelligence, the adrenaline quickly floods the halls as the team eliminates all threats with ease in their search for their kidnapped leader. That is until something is unleashed… something hungry.
