When <i>Wristcutters</i> came to Seattle, my Jewish comix artist friend <a href="http://realgonegirl.com/comix.html" rel="nofollow">Miriam Libicki</a> and I went with a bunch of folks to check it out. It's quite good. Also, Miriam talked to the director <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1058247/" rel="nofollow">Goran Dukic</a>, and apparently the screen and comix adaptations developed simultaneously, each going in its own direction from Keret's original, yet informing each other somewhat along the way. It's neat to see how much life there has been to this piece! Now I just hope the film gets distribution. There is also a good graphic novel adaptation by Asaf Hanuka.
