In this electrifying episode of Storycomic Presents, host Barney Smith is thrilled to welcome Wells Thompson, the creative genius behind the action-packed sci-fi comic, MechaTon. Episode 338 delves into the imaginative world Wells has crafted, where technology meets titanic battles in a narrative that's a nod to Toonami, Saturday morning cartoons, and '90s anime.

"MechaTon Vol. 1 - A Sci-fi Action Comic with Mechs and Kaiju" is Wells's latest Kickstarter venture, promising a fun, action-heavy journey with a unique twist: a glove that transforms anything it punches into a battle mech. This comic is not just a story; it's a love letter to fans of Scott Pilgrim and Pacific Rim, blending humor, adventure, and the sheer thrill of mech battles.

Join us as Wells shares insights into his journey as a comic writer and critic, from his beginnings in the University of Central Arkansas's English program to becoming a beloved figure in the comic book community and a "cat foster dad" in Chicago. Discover the inspiration behind MechaTon and the dynamic duo of Derek and Leah, who must rise from their couch to save their neighborhood from giant mutant insects and more formidable foes.
