This week in Episode #769, Wayne has a fun conversation with Renato Franchi, one of the creators behind the 96-page sci-fi graphic novel Achille & KiPI: The Disconnected, which is being crowdfunded on Kickstarter at this link until Monday, November 2, at 11 a.m. ET. Renato is a strategist and publishing expert who oversees this project, their positioning, and their Kickstarter strategy. He is a consultant specializing in publishing, comics, manga, crowdfunding, and transmedia development, bringing the experience he has built over the last ten years! Here's how Achille & KiPI: The Disconnected is described: "Achille can fix the robots on his family's farm. Figuring out his own future is harder. After an accident leaves his cat KiPI with bionic upgrades and a sharp tongue, the two set out for a planet that promises everyone a chance to build a better life. But when rival factions are fighting over the future, chasing your dreams gets complicated. Having a skeptical cat along doesn't exactly simplify things." We talk about how this project came to be, who the various characters are, and what we can expect from these creators in the coming months.
