That's right, folks! Put down the video game controller! Skip that rehearsal for your band! Make whatever sacrifices you must to those comic gods you hold so dear! Just make sure you're ready because Bryan Lee O'Malley and Scott Pilgrim are back! Well, a couple months have passed since the last time we caught up with our intrepid hero, but what can change in a few short months? Well, not much has... Scott's still living with his roommate Wallace Wells. He's still playing in a mediocre rock band named Sex Bob-omb. And most importantly, he's still dating the lovely Ramona Flowers while working his way through the gaggle of superpowered, superstylish, superevil ex-boyfriends determined to take him down. But something is different. Don't look now, but Scott Pilgrim may actually be getting it together. And it's a good thing, too, because Scott is about to confront Ramona's most intimidating ex yet!Winner of the 2008 Harvey Award for BEST GRAPHIC ALBUM - ORIGINAL!

I have the heretical opinion that the Scott Pilgrim books are the best works that I've read by a Canadian author. This book is very much in the same spirit as the previous three. What I think is so very clever about these books is the way they appropriate various pop culture motifs, including a nu...
This time there are two people who want to kill Scott, so lots of amusing fight sequences. Best dialogue re fighting: "she punched the highlights out of your hair!" Scott goes job-hunting and is forced to make his own housing arrangements and the band starts recording. The series is so firmly ground...
