Episode 170 – Finding the Story (with Kevin Mellon)

In this episode, I’m joined by Kevin Mellon — director of Marvel/Hulu’s Hit Monkey and longtime comic book creator — for a conversation that wastes no time getting started.

We dive into the differences between writers and artists in comics, and how those roles parallel directors and producers in television. Kevin shares his thoughts on AI as a creative tool, why Kansas City BBQ is unmatched, and how our work styles surprisingly line up.

Along the way, we geek out over toys and vinyl figures, and even get an unexpected visit from a special guest. Want to know who? You’ll have to listen to find out.

This one felt less like an interview and more like two friends talking shop—and I think you’ll feel that too.
