O’Malley does a fantastic job of keeping the stakes up as the series progresses. Where volume 5 wrapped up, the score was Scott: 6, Evil Ex-Boyfriends: 0, with one more ex-boyfriend to go (Ramona dated a set of identical twins, separately).
One is led to believe that Scott is off the hook with this challenge, but then Gideon, Ramona’s most recent (and the most evil) ex-boyfriend, serves Scott with marching orders. The final battle will be epic.

Much better than book 2, IMHO, flowing more smoothly along the story, while still diving into various characters' lives. Really excellent use of the artwork to convey intensity and emotion. Certain scenes take on a gravity of their own, simply by using a variety of contrasts; things I didn't realize you could do with black and white in a comic. While I got completely lost about who had dated whom by the end, the very last page of the book is a relational diagram of the characters. Very aweso

Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 3 / 9781932664225
I first came to the Scott Pilgrim franchise via the movie, "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World", and have very much enjoyed the graphic novels thus far. Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 3 covers the time from the introduction of The Clash at Demonhead (as well as Envy and Todd as important romantic figures in Scott and Ramona's past) to the conclusion of the Scott/Todd battle.

Another witty and inventive entry in the Scott Pilgrim series. in this volume, I really got the impression that not only had Bryan Lee O'Malley defined how to lay out his panels to tell his story, but that he now knew where his story was leading him.
The art is now becoming so familiar that confusion between the various male characters is no longer a troubling aspect. In fact, even though the style is clearly defined, i actually believe that his art is improving with each book. The ar More...

(One review for all six Scott Pilgrim books)
These six short graphic novels are the basis of the film Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Although I enjoyed the film, I found the main character incredibly annoying. He's annoying in the books as well, but much less so. I found myself enjoying them much more than the film. Like the film, the basic plot of the series is that the eponymous Scott Pilgrim must defeat the seven evil exes of his girlfriend Ramona Flowers in order to be with her.

This volume confused me in the beginning. Then I thought it was making sense again, but I was wrong. I just ended it all rather confused.
I was willing to accept it as a fantasy world, where Ramona can cross through dreams, and her evil ex-boyfriends, once defeated, turn into coins. Throwing in a save point, though, made it start to seem rather surreal. Am I to believe it's a fantasy world? A game parody? A.. a.. a story where they're all living _in_ a game?

You know that thing, where you find this great webcomic and spend half an hour clicking through it backwards, seeing if it's actually good, or just a fluke, and then you figure "what the hell, I'm not doing anything tonight" and so you click the 'archive' button, and go back to the first comic, and it's from 2002, and it's really not very good? That's kind of the experience of reading Scott Pilgrim.

Ever feel like a book is a little too specific to your interests? Scott Pilgrim's life is all music and old-school video games. I get the references consistently, and they're references I'm not used to seeing in stories.
O'Malley's storytelling style is perplexing in many regards. About 80% of the time it's a slice-of-life view of a Canadian loser in a band who's barely keeping things together in any aspect of his life.

I really want to give this 4.5 stars, because while I loved the first two books equally, I think I loved this one a little bit more.
The thing I enjoy most about these graphic novels is that the characters seem so fully developed. Even those that barely garner a few pages of actual space in the novel (Lucas Lee, Wallace, that guy that knows *everybody* (including you)) feel like real, flesh and blood people. They have real quirks and complexities, and make me want to know more about More...

I think what makes the third book (and each progressive volume in the series) so enjoyable is that a little more is added to the characters with each turn. While popular novels written to be read in a sequence (like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings) establish character types and backgrounds quickly, this is not the case in Scott Pilgrim.
Suddenly, Scott's personality traits (particularly in regards to how he treats women) make more sense. The slowly revealed back story allows the rea More...

Yes, his dramatic life. This book is very dramatic. Scott always has something new going on his life, like a fight with an evil ex, or a new girlfriend, or something. This sounds like it wouldn't be very interesting, but it actually is. In reality, a teen's life can be that dramatic, so it's actually pretty interesting to read.

I'm not sure how vegans ended up with special powers, but that's what happens in Scott Pilgrim's world. I don't know any vegans. I know a few vegetarians and lots of people who have decided that gluten is the worst thing in the world for a human to ingest. Why is that? Other than if you have an allergy, how is gluten ruining our diets?
Me? I loves me some gluten. It comes in wonderful forms, like Wonder bread, that can be used to encase meat, which also comes in wonderful forms. More...

It's another winner in the Scott Pilgrim series! This series is so bizarre and hilarious and downright wacky - I put down every book I read from the series with a big goofy smile on my face. In this book, Scott has to take on Ramona's most evil ex-boyfriend yet, Todd...who happens to be dating and in a very successful band with SCOTT's evil ex-girlfriend, Envy. So it turns into a pretty awesome double-face-off between Scott and Todd and also Ramona and Envy. And there are a lot of flashback'

The halfway point of the Scott Pilgrim series is where things start to get a little more complex. We’re still firmly on the “beat the evil exes to date Ramona” boss-battle rails, but in Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness, an evil ex of Scott’s shows up, as well. Despite the story getting a little deeper, I had a little more trouble getting into this one than I did the previous books.

Scott's battles against his new girlfriend's evil exes continue, and this volume expands the established one-fight-per-volume formula, as Todd, ex-boyfriend #3, is a lot more complicated than the previous ones. He's dating Scott's own evil ex, Envy, who has become a rock star beloved by some (Scott's other ex, the sweet but obsessed Knives) and loathed by others (his roommate Wallace and, naturally, his current girlfriend Ramona). In addition to these, O'Malley skill with the character's back st

Wow! Now here's a book that's almost nothing like the movie. When Scott starts fighting vegan Todd in the alleyway, they take a break and reconvene later that week for a race through a department store. The woman Ramona fights isn't Roxie, but musician Envy Adams — not one of her exes at all! And Ramona's line to Gideon from the movie, "Let's both be girls?" Here, Envy says that to Todd when she realizes he's cheating on her.

The third volume still lacks some of the funny conversations from Vol 1, but I think I liked more than the second, especially because there are more scenes with Wallace ........ I think I developed a crush on Wallace which is incredibly sick ... first because he is gay and second because it is a fictitious character out of the mind of a canadian cartoonist, but what can I do?

Unfortunately, Volume Three – Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness – turns in a silly narrative mess. As I can figure it out, it’s essentially an endless barrage of fisticuffs between Scott and his jilted girlfriends, if not of the latter amongst themselves. (Forget guys fighting over the girl. In O’Malley’s comic book fantasy, the girls are just as willing to duke it out over the boy. How’s that for a nerdish fan-boy fantasy?) Honestly, after this dizzying third volume, I’m not sure I’m ready

Things only seem to be getting worst for our hero Scott Pilgrim. His ex-girlfriend Envy Adams is back in Toronto with her new boyfriend, Todd. Todd also happens to be Ramona’s ex-boyfriend and, even worst, is vegan. Everyone knows that being vegan makes you better than other people and gives you psychic powers, and how will Scott be able to match that? All her wants is some closure with Envy, but instead he has to defeat her boyfriend if he wants to be with Ramona.

Hrm. Back-story is usually my favorite, but this wasn't super exciting. Guess I wished for a little more forward motion too. Though Scott does have lots of time to freak out a bunch, which I appreciated. It also gives us some space to piece together some of the goofier conceits of the world -- video game allusions and stuff, which is kind of amusingly unclear, as all the characters already know all about it.

This is the point in the series where the storytelling takes a refreshing leap away from the film (which I enjoyed). There's something in the Canadian water, I think, because O'Malley seems like Jeff Lemire's ADHD little brother: Scott Pilgrim isn't nearly as stark, or beautiful as Essex County, nor the characters as rich, but there's a subtly to the interpersonal relationships here that are heartbreakingly honest, and I like that.
