Goodness me, this is one series I'm glad I discovered before I died! LOL!
I've just read volume 1 and I have my heart set on getting all the other volumes there are out there.
The idea for the story in Scott Pilgrim is simple and fun. Scott Pilgrim is a 23 year old guy who plays in a band and dates chicks, he's a bit of rocker and whatnot. One day he bumps into a girl called Ramona, and they both like each other. But he can only date her by defeating her 7 evil ex-boyfriends in battle!
Sounds silly doesn't it? Haha, that's just what I was thinking when I first heard about it, but then I decided to read it and I've never looked back!
It's basically mixing really simple cartoon artwork, with great humour, with pop culture (references to bands such as Smashing Pumpkins and comics such as X-Men), with Mortal Kombat and something written by Adrian Tomine. LOL!
An odd combo, but it works really well.
This is so much fun, I really do recommend you go check out this first volume at LEAST!
