Collaboration with Paganini Stories
When Paganini Stories approached us about contributing to their Gods: Untold Anthology, we were genuinely excited. But when they mentioned we'd be collaborating with Romano Molenaar? That excitement turned into full-blown anticipation. Working with an artist of his caliber doesn't happen every day, and neither does jumping on board and working alongside high-caliber talent like artist Benjamin Paulus (who created the anthology's stunning cover) and writer and producer Kyle Gayner. They really elevated the entire experience.

The Challenge
The real challenge came with the format - condensing a complete narrative into just four pages. Anyone who's worked in comics knows that's no small feat. You're essentially crafting a short film in sequential art form, where every panel needs to advance plot, develop character, and look stunning while doing it. Romano absolutely delivered on that front, managing to pack incredible detail of our story into what most creators would consider impossibly tight constraints.​​​​​​​​​​

What really impressed me about this project was the scope of talent Paganini Stories assembled. They managed to connect creators from nearly every continent, building this amazing international community through their Discord server - The PagaVerse. It's become a creative hub where artists and writers could share techniques, cultural perspectives, and just connect over our shared love of storytelling.

​That's the kind of collaboration that reminds you why we got into comics in the first place. The whole experience reinforced how powerful this medium can be when talented creators from different backgrounds come together to tell stories.

Stay tuned as GODS:UNTOLD 2 is currently in progress!
