* I'm just now catching up with this RC Harvey column describing his take on how mainstream comics moved from figure-drawing into more dramatically forthright storytelling techniques. I always listen to Bob Harvey. I also came late to this Michael Cavna piece about Harvey Pekar's appearances on David Letterman's television shows.
* what characters Marvel uses in what titles isn't really something I find interesting, but it's worth a reminder that many of the team books serves as character rehabilitation vehicles, very important given the fact that there's a level of demand for these characters in other media.
* not comics: if you had Woody Harrelson in the Wilson pool, you're lying, you had Paul Giamatti, too. That sounds like it could be a good film. Let's hope. I quite liked that comic. It was very funny.
