Kevin’s day job is acting (with sincere quotes around it from his co-hosts). When he’s not on set he’s reading every back issue the Marvel and DC apps have on offer, posting his daily reads to Facebook and Instagram so the rest of the show knows what to ask him about.
Hard to schedule; worth the wait.
