Scott Pilgrim just turned 24, and things couldn”t possibly be better! This means things are about to get infinitely worse! Suddenly, TWO of Ramona”s evil ex-boyfriends are in town, and they”re playing dirty. His band is in turmoil, and his own exes aren”t making things any easier. And what”s up with Ramona, anyway? She”s been acting kinda weird ever since they moved in together! Scott”s precious little life is coming back around to bite him in the butt, and it may not be pretty!

Review quote:

“Scott Pilgrim is the best book ever. It is the chronicle of our time. With Kung Fu, so, yeah: perfect.” Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

“One of the best things to happen to printed comics this millennium.” Ain”t It Cool News

“A hilarious, idiosyncratic gem.” Washington Post

“A great oddball tale that captures the energy of a generation.” Publishers Weekly

“An inventive, genre-tweaking tale of young love, platonic bed-sharing and epic battles unlike anything else you will likely pick up. So, go on, pick it up.” E! Online

“Scott Pilgrim is the best 23-year-old ever. Like Proust”s Swann, he has a story that takes multiple volumes to unfold, except Pilgrim is even more awesome because he”s in a comic book … the series is wildly enjoyable for its absurdist humor, its indelible characters and its growing, inevitable sense of melancholy as Pilgrim becomes that most terrifying of things: 24 years old.” Glen David Gold, author of Carter Beats the Devil and Sunnyside
