We are back for another creator-focused episode with our dear friend Trevor, the creator of Pocket Watch Press! T

his week. we discuss his latest Kickstarter campaign for Rise. What if Superman existed in a world where everyone knew who he was? What if he had no enemies and yet his powers were fueled by how happy or how sad he is?

Rise explores these concepts as John is a hero in a city where everybody knows who he is and what he can do. His powers are fueled by his emotions as we enter a world of super-powers like we have not seen before.

You can find Rise by searching Rise on Kickstarter
