Hill later wrote the book 7 Days from Hell for Top Cow Productions, and was later hired to adapt it into a screenplay. He also co-wrote Netherworld, a comic book, for Heroes and Villains. He co-wrote the comic book Postal with Matt Hawkins, which began publication in 2015. He began writing it by himself at issue #12.
