“That Pekar didn’t even draw, but put out these regular stories, I thought was amazing”: Vanessa Davis on Harvey Pekar, in the form of a comic (Link via Drawn and Quarterly). Meanwhile, Tom “Comics Reporter” Spurgeon’s “Collective Memory” feature on Pekar offer’s a gigantic collection of remebrances and reactions from all over the Internet, and Spurgeon has written what is probably the definitive obituary of Pekar.
Only four?: In light of EW‘s reveal of the live-action Green Lantern costume, the Washington Post offers a blog post considering “some of the odder decisons in comic book-to-film translation.”
Edgar Wright sure knows how to promote a movie: Sick of watching the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World trailers? Well, have you seen the officially sanctioned viral remixes, featuring footage not in the studio trailers? No? Well, they’ve been debuting here and there over the last few days, but there are links to them in this post right here.
Don’t worry Daredevil—the Marvel Universe forgave Tony Stark and Reed Richards for killing Goliath in a matter of months: Tim O’Neil has read Shadowland, and he’s got some concerns:
First of all, Daredevil building an Evil Dojo in the heart of Manhattan—OK, I think I already see a problem in your story. Second, and here’s the clincher, we’re supposed to think that Daredevil has finally CROSSED THE LINE by shanking Bullseye. Come on, I’m sorry—if you had Daredevil killing, I don’t know, the Matador or Stilt-Man or something, that would be CROSSING THE LINE. But Bullseye? The same Bullseye who’s got a body count somewhere in four or five digits?
That’s…that’s a pretty good point, actually. If they want to show Daredevil crossing a line, shouldn’t he be icing good guys or something? O’Neil has more on Shadowland, plus reviews of a few other recent Marvel books, at the link.

Sentry would rip people in half and throw them into the sun, and that was before Norman Osborn took over. Daredevil killing Bullseye doesn’t seem that bad in comparison.
Plus, I’m not counting on Bullseye really being dead. He just needs to seem to be dead to prove Daredevil’s point.
