Scott Pilgrim, I will always love you

I was so excited to read Scott Pilgirm’s Finest Hour, the sixth and final volume in the series, that even though I had ordered it for ridiculously cheap, the moment I got near Big Brain Comics last Tuesday I caved and bought another copy. There was no way in hell I was going to be [...]

Scottaholic

I’d like to introduce you to my new imaginary Canadian slacker boyfriend

Scott Pilgrim is a twenty-three-year-old hipster doofus living in Toronto, playing in a band called Sex Bob-Omb, sharing a bed with his BFF Wallace, and “dating” a seventeen-year-old high school student named Knives Chau. He doesn’t sound like a very likable guy, yet on paper in Scott Pilgrim Vol. 1: Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life, [...]
