Description from author's site:
WHO THE HELL IS SCOTT PILGRIM AND WHY THE HELL SHOULD I CARE?
Scott Pilgrim is a 23-year-old guy living in the big city with his gay roommate, just trying to make his way in this crazy world.
Scott Pilgrim likes the new girl in town, Ramona Flowers, but to win her heart, he has to defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends. Wait, what?
Scott Pilgrim is named after a song by the late great 90's all-girl Canadian indie rock band, Plumtree.
Scott Pilgrim is a critically acclaimed, award-winning series of graphic novels by Canadian cartoonist Bryan Lee O'Malley. There will be six volumes in all published by Oni Press.
My thoughts:
In-a-word: Rollerblades
For the first in a series it started out well for me. A fun read with dream sequences, rock-n-roll and a start of a romance. The artwork is manga style with the big eyes which make the character so cute. Unlike manga you can read it from front to back. I will definitely continue with the series.
