Description
Scott Pilgrim's life is totally sweet.
He's 23 years old, he's in a rock band, he's "between jobs," and he's dating a cute high school girl. Nothing could possibly go wrong, unless a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, rollerblading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. Will Scott's awesome life get turned upside-down Will he have to face Ramona's seven evil ex-boyfriends in battle The short answer is yes. The long answer is Scott Pilgrim, Volume 1: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life.
Reviews
'Earlier this week, an English journalist claimed Jonathan Franzen's soon-to-be published Freedom as the novel of the century. A ludicrous accolade, not least because it should more rightly go to Korean-Canadian writer Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim comic-book series.' Telegraph
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
