10 Life Changing Lessons To Learn from Scott Pilgirm Series.
1. I'm pretty sure Ramona Flowers is related to Nymphadora Tonks.

3. Never ever date a chick with 7 evil ex-boyfriends.
4. But if she's so damn hot, just prepare your katana.
3. Lightsabers are out. Power of Love and Power of Understanding are in.

1.5 stars. In the previous volumes of Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim epic, there had been a buildup to a metaphysical / existential conclusion. Characters were floating in and out of a reality that was peppered with video game physics and razor-sharp wit, and it seemed natural that the final volume would be a collision of parallel worlds.
The finale, however, seems to play into a chaos-driven philosophy in explaining its logic. What seems to be intended as a post-modern foray into More...

I'm in a meeting and I'm bored so I thought you might like to know that I read this book and I thought it was loads of fun! Why 4 stars and not 5? Because like I said "I'm in a meeting" and meetings make me grumpy..

Now that I've read all six volumes in the Scott Pilgrim series, I find it obvious how someone would want to make a movie out of these books, and downright amazed that the movie they made managed to omit so much and still not suck. As I read each book, it became more and more clear that the movie deliberately left some pertinent things out, and even took creative liberties with certain characters and events. No book hammered that point home like the last book, Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour.

Very enjoyable overall although I was never very interested in the plot (not after evil boyfriend number 3 or 4). Even in volume 6(?) where Scott has to accept all the things that he'd done wrong it felt less consequential than it should of done. And apart from that it mostly felt a bit well repetitive.
What I did really like, though, was the incorporation of gaming tropes (Level Up, New T-shirt Accessed) were genuinely innovative and felt entirely natural. Some of the meta-fiction thro More...

Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 6: Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour / 9781934964385
This is the final volume of the Scott Pilgrim series, so if you've been following the series up until now, you pretty much HAVE to read it. The good news is that it's incredibly thrilling and well-drawn and the plot is nicely summed-up; the bad news is that I kind of wish there was MORE of it.

The sixth and final installment of the Scott Pilgrim story feels quite a bit different from the rest of the volumes, in terms of the artwork, pacing, dialogues, and just the overall ambiance. It's not that it's bad - it just feels rather strange and a bit rushed.
Still, it's a great ending for a great series. It's a rather bittersweet coming of age for the all these 20-somethings, and a very honest, believable one at that. We get closure on most of t More...

About a month ago, I realized that I hadn't reviewed Scott Pilgrim #6 here... so I added it and went to write my review. Then I realized, I couldn't remember what happened in this volume. And THEN I realized... I hadn't even read it yet! Argh! No wonder I never achieved full closure on this series! So I, of course, had to remedy that situation.

While I greatly enjoyed the final volume of SP, I'll admit that I was slightly disappointed by it. I was rooting for a specific pairing to occur by the end of the book & it didn't happen. I do like how the book resolved, though.

(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.

Four stars? Really? Maybe sometime later I'll settle Mr. Pilgrim's grand finale back down to a respectable three, but let me take a moment to defend the high praise: yes the Scott Pilgrim series is cute, hip, trendy, and full of the video game and bubblegum humor that my generation loves and may not weather well after a few decades. But there are things going on in these little books that cut deeper and glow brighter than all the the Double Dragon Meets Garden State glitter -- secret undercurren

I totally like the ending of this wonderful series, even if there were a bunch of moments that were unnecessarily confusing or not how I wanted them to end.
After seeing the movie, it's hard not to compare the plot and characters here to the movie's ending. The book obviously has more time to go through the motions and emotions. Scott's spaced-out state of mind at the end of the 5th book (which I disliked) was wrapped up nicely, even if it didn't make sense.

My experience with O'Malley's comic-books it’s been like a rollercoaster... I loved the first one, the next two were still good but not quite ... later (vol. 4) almost lost interest but couldn’t let Wallace go (I have a big crush on Mr. Wells)... and in Volume 5 began to regain my confidence, and now here we are! The last one and I feel quite conflicted on the number of stars...

A brief overview for those people who automatically edit Michael Cera, who stars in the movie adaptation, out of their consciousness: Scott Pilgrim is a 23 year old (mostly) straight edge Canuck, in the okay band Sex Bob-omb who shares a 1BR apartment -- and bed -- with his gay friend Wallace.
When the series starts, Scott Pilgrim is in the beginnings of a pretty chaste relationship with Knives Chau, a high school girl. An Asian high school girl. The kind of high school girl who wear More...

This is a tale of two readings:
The first time I read through Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour I went: "uhhh...really?" Underwhelmed, was an under statement. After building up potential conclusions for a year in my own mind, after imagining and re-imagining the deeper meanings O'Malley explored in this post-pop-modern-culture saga of romance and generational angst, I felt let down.

YES! Finest Hour indeed! The last Scott Pilgrim was great! I loved it! I laughed out loud at the panel in the beginning when Scott does the like one arm back, one arm forward thing and shouts "I think we should have SEX! CASUAL SEX!" because it's so perfectly, cluelessly, Scott Pilgrim. The playful "that happened in Volume 3!" stuff works much better here than it did in some of the previous volumes, and there was a lot of action -- some of the middle books got a little too mu

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 able to wait another day to find out what happend to Scott, Ramona, and their gang of wry sidekicks.

This is it! After six years, and several thousand (I kid you not) pages of graphic novel, the "Epic of Epic Epicness" concludes. This is one hell of barn stormer. While the prior volumes focus on the fun, humorous aspects of Scott Pilgrim and his friends' existences in Toronto (a version of Toronto I would LOVE to hang out in), this one is way more driven to clearly provide the heaviness that was only hinted at when Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe left off on that wondrous cliff hanger,

Four stars for the series overall, three star for this installment. I made the mistake of seeing the movie before reading the books, but my fiancé is a fan and the movie at least piqued my interest; I know it's cliche, but the books are far, far superior. You get way more backstory, way more insight into the characters and their relationships beyond just Scott & Ramona, but the nuances of their weird turn-of-the-Millenium courtship is explored more deeply as well. It's beautifully drawn and an

There are hidden depths here. First and foremost, Scott Pilgrim is a prescient and accurate paean to the years of young adulthood in the Great White North. Scott Pilgrim himself may be the weak point of the books. As a character, he vacillates between an almost catatonic state of forgetful inaction where his most coherent sentence is often, "Can we make out now?" to a smart, sensitive man with sweet ninja moves. O'Malley fails to perfectly mesh these facets of his character.

Whilst it should be said that the sum of Scott Pilgrim's parts are greater than any of the individual books in the series, Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour knocks the ball out of the park and provides a genuinely perfect ending to an overall perfect adventure.
