In our final SDCC interview special, Jimmy did the roundtables for the Amazon Prime animated series room with creators Robert Kirkman (INVINCIBLE), Vivienne Medrano (HAZBIN HOTEL), Travis Willingham (THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA), and Kyle Hunter (SAUSAGE PARTY: FOODTOPIA). For the first time in probably ever, the synergy between the other 2 press people was fantastic and they played off of each other's questions. A surprising delight! Kirkman gave some great business advice on how to get the good money when selling your IP, Medrano talked about the amazing music in the show, Willingham revealed how the show came together from D&D sessions and Hunter talked of how the show continues on from the movie with a slight change.
