A slight departure from our usual format. With only one creator able to join this week, Kevin and Will took the opportunity to really dive deep on Travis B Hill's journey toward becoming a comic creator. We hear how he met his first artistic collaborator, only to learn hours later that artist lived across the street. Other amazing coincidences (marks of destiny? works of a higher power?) lead him all the way to hosting a Dauntless Stories Greenlight campaign with the chief of Dauntless Stories Marcus Jimenez.
