A friend of mine recently told me about the Scott Pilgrim series and, although comic books aren’t usually my thing, I decided to check it out. The story follows the eponymous hero, a 23-year old slacker from Toronto, and his quest to date beautiful American delivery ninja Ramona Flowers. But, as Shakespeare said, the course of true lover never did run smoothly and Scott must defeat Ramona’s seven evil exes before she can officially become his girlfriend.
If you’re looking for a believable plot, Scott Pilgrim isn’t for you. The series is unabashedly over the top and it isn’t afraid to deploy the occasional deus ex machina. But it’s also wickedly funny, crammed with pop culture references and nerdy gamer humor.
If you’re looking for something funny to read that won’t take forever, I highly recommend Scott Pilgrim. This August, you can also see it on the big screen.
Codex Lochianus 
Wallace is my favorite, though.

I think I like Knives the best, if only because she has some great lines.
“You and your advanced American slut technology.” Heh.
