There is a time in most people’s lives, typically in their late teens to early twenties, where they are broke, in constant flux of relationship status, and involved in a scene of sorts (music, art, etc.) If you take that time period and condense it into comic books, you would get Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.
Scott Pilgrim is in love with Romona Flowers, a new inhabitant of his beloved Toronto. However, this means he’ll have to break up with his current girlfriend, Knives Chau. This turns out to be the least of his worries as he soon finds that he must fight all seven of Romona’s evil ex-boyfriends.
Bryan Lee O’Malley is utterly nostalgic about the early days of video games. There are several video game references including coins being dropped when an ex-boyfriend is defeated. The art style is simplistic with a very low panel count per page. Your eyes quickly gorge their way through the book, giving it a tempo consistent with it’s rock band theme.
