Scott Pilgrim is the best comic book ever?


Scott Pilgrim is about a lovable Canadian loser who plays video games and plays bass in rock band "Sex-Bob-Omb." He starts off dating a high schooler (Knives Chau, age 17), but then falls hard for the American Amazon.ca delivery girl who can take shortcuts through dreams. Scott has to fight her 7 evil ex boyfriends before she can give her heart to him.

Still with me?

Scott Pilgrim is charming in all the kinds of ways that books should be charming. The bit characters are really fleshed out. Video game logic prevails (complete with save points, 1-ups, and items that Scott can use like coins and Skateboards). Look for a Bollywood style fight-off in Episode 2 followed by a Boss Bass Battle in Episode 3!

Look here for some previews.
