Book Reviews of Scott Pilgrim, Vol 4: Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together
Book Review: Scott Pilgrim discovers not all evil ex-es are guys
Summary: 5 Stars
Once upon a time, a comic artist named Bryan Lee O'Malley did a comic series around a central character named Scott Pilgrim. That comic series got made into a movie called Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. The movie was not bad, but was definitely worth seeing if only because it made me want to read the comic series it was based on. And I'm here now to tell you that O'Malley's original series is awesome. It's also almost impossible to describe, but I'll give it my best shot and say it's original, it's funny, it's way surreal, and it's probably unlike anything you've ever read.
On the surface, the plot arc of the six-volume series is centered around Scott Pilgrim, a twenty-something game-playing slacker in a Canadian garage band, who meets the girl of his dreams (literally) and finds he must defeat her seven evil ex-es if he wants to date her. But like an iceberg, the surface only hints at everything that lies beneath.
Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together is the fourth volume in the series. The cast of returning characters include:
Scott Pilgrim, a wide-eyed and likeable but perpetually clueless 23-year-old slacker who's in a garage band called Sex Bob-omb. ("How are you and Ramona doing? Have you said the L-word yet?" "The L-word? You mean... lesbian?" "Uh... no. The other L-word.")
Ramona Flowers, a roller-blading delivery girl for Amazon.ca and the girl of Scott's dreams. ("You and _her_?!" "Oh, relax. It was a phase.")
Knives Chau, his 17-year-old Chinese former sort-of girlfriend who still has a major crush on him. ("I've kissed the lips that've kissed you!!!")
Wallace Wells, his cool but boy-crazy gay roommate. ("Let's be friends based on mutual hate.")
Stephen Stills, lead guitarist in the band. ("Do you always refer to him by his full name?" - "Who? Stephen Stills? Yes.")
Kim Pine, the band's drummer and Scott's ex-girlfriend from high school. ("Scott, if your life had a face, I would punch it. I would punch your life in the face.")
Young Neil Nordegraf, Stephen Still's roommate and the band's biggest fan. ("What do you play?" "Um... nothing, I just live here.")
Comeau, who knows everyone. ("Well, I wouldn't say _everyone_, but yeah, I guess.")
Julie Powers, Stephen Stills' on-again/off-again but always bitchy girlfriend. ("That song is about me, people! He thinks I'm a total bitch and a half!" "You mean she doesn't _know_?")
Stacey Pilgrim, Scott's younger sister. ("She's Chinese? Wait till Mom hears about this!")
And in this volume we meet Lisa Miller, Scott's might-have-been girlfriend from high school, and last but not least, Roxanne Richter, a blonde half-ninja and the fourth of Ramona's evil ex-es to challenge Scott Pilgrim. ("So I want to cut off his stupid head. What's the problem?")
As a special treat, the opening chapter of this volume is in full color.
Just read it. You'll be hooked.
I highly recommend this book (and the entire series) to anyone who appreciates a comic series with a unique visual style, engaging characters, the kind of surreal world we only wish we could live in, and just a great fun read.
Summary of Scott Pilgrim, Vol 4: Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together
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!
