Scott Pilgrim anybody?
MarginalMeaning \| 9:45 AM on 02.13.2009	6 comments

To those of you who don't know what Scott Pilgrim is... go out right now, find a copy, read it, buy it, love it.

The basic story of Scott Pilgrim is about, well a guy named Scott Pilgrim. He encounters a wonderful woman named Ramona Flowers... but little does he know that in order to be with her he has to defeat her 7 evil ex-boyfriends.

The series is dripping with geek references, with Scott's band named Sex Bob-omb, and their rival, Scott's Ex-girlfriend's band, Clash at Demonhead. Honestly, it has been perhaps the best comic I have personally read in the past few years.

There are references to many little nuances of games - save points, leveling up, skills, etc. etc.

Volume 5 was just released about a week ago, they are going fast, I know the local comic shop here was sold out first day. If you can definitely pick up the series, it's a great comic.

That actually looks pretty awesome. Kind of Windwaker-esque, huh?

GuitarAtomik

Awesome series. I still need to pick up the new one.

@GuitarAtomik: You'll have to wait another 5 days for it to come out. I love the series to death but he sure takes his damn time getting them out. (It's been over a year since volume 4!)

Also, for anyone interested in the movie.

Erp, sorry I was going by the Amazon release date. YOU'VE FAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME AMAZON!

By far my favorite comic book series ever.
