Persepolis 2.0

One of the more interesting comics mash-ups this week was Persepolis 2.0, a remixing of Marjane Satrapi's groundbreaking graphic novel designed to draw awareness to Iran's current post-election plight. Matthew Weaver of the Guardian talked to the comic's creators, two Iranian exiles called Sina and Payman, who apparently did the work with Satrapi's blessing:

Sina said the updated cartoon was intended to show how history was repeating itself in Iran.

"The reaction to Persepolis 2.0 has been great," he wrote in an email. "We've had visitors from 120 countries thus far, and a large volume of emails from people asking how they can help support Iranians.

"This has really infused us with energy, and we're now working on additional ways to help get the word out."
