ACC-tion heroes, this week we have an interview with Sean Lewis, a playwright, actor, essayist, and comic book writer. Sean's breadth of experiences AND body of work could have led to a three part series. For now, though, we focus on Coytoes, the book he wrote with Caitlin Yarksy (who has an amazing instagram feed.)

Hey ACC-tion heroes! This week, Tim and Nick ask each other three insightful questions. Come for the questions, stay for the amazing answers!   Feature 1 - Three Questions We each ask each other three questions. Nick to Tim What insights would an Asian-American bring to the shield if, like Sam Wilson, they took the mantle of Captain America for a while? If you were a wrestling promoter in the DC Universe, who would you recruit?  No, you can’t cross-over Ben Grimm. We talk a lot about how heroes (and sometimes villains) have helped us understand ourselves.  Has a hero (or villain) ever helped you understand someone ELSE?   Tim to Nick Generally speaking, what limits you from reading comics? Not a critique, but a genuine curiosity. If you were tapped to write for a book, which one would you want to tackle? Comic book movies obviously pull source material from comics, but increasingly we are seeing movies affect the content of comics. (Example: Drax’s redesign), do you think this is a positive trend, negative, or neutral?   Feature 2 - Pullbox   Nick: Future Guys of Tomorrow Tim: Iron Fist #1-7 (2017)
