Week of Love – Scott Pilgrim

Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 1: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little LifeIf you’re dating someone knew this Valentine’s Day, you probably have a lot in common with Scott Pilgrim.  You may be dealing with the dreaded ex-boyfriend/girlfriend issue.  Poor Scott Pilgrim has the worst case ever.  He loves his new girlfriend, Ramona, but hates having to constantly battle her evil exes.

This series is fun and single-handedly seemed to set off a new art style.  Hardly any artists can draw square-jawed, wide-eyed characters without being called Pilgrim posers.  These blocky illustrations perfectly set off the quirky, slacker cast.  Scott Pilgrim is a 20 something muscician with no real drive except to love Ramona.  For her part, Ramona is a mysterious woman who travels between dimensions and yes, has some evil past relationship woes.  Backing them up are their friends, always willing to lend a helping hand if there’s money or food or fun to be had.

So far Scott has battled 4 exes and the newly released Volume 5 promises even more romantice action!

The series has proven to be so popular that there’s a live action movie being filmed (some questionable casting with Michael Cera as Scott – I would have thought someone more like Elijah Wood but no one asked me.)

If you are looking for romance, adventure and some ex-boyfriends in need of some serious attitude readjustment, then fall in love with Scott Pilgrim!
