Scott Pilgrim is dating a highschooler! And he’s
totally 23 (and unemployed)! (Don’t
worry, they’ve only held hands.) Just when things feel nice and simple he meets
the girl of his dreams, (Literally. She
rollerblades through his dreams to deliver packaged for amazon.com), and decides
to fall head over heels. Unfortunately,
he doesn’t tell his high school girlfriend and even more unfortunately his new
girlfriend has Seven Evil Exes that he must defeat to continue dating her. NOW IN COLOR!
Okay, I know I already gave a rave review to the Scott
Pilgrim series, so it may seem silly to re-review a book just because it’s in
color. Who do I even think I am, Ted
Turner!? Well, I understand your
skepticism and must admit that I too was skeptical of a Colorized Scott
Pilgrim, cynical even. However, the
superb job Nathan Fairbarn (the ONLY colorist I’ve yet to praise by name) did
on this book really makes it worth a second look even if you have already read
the series. I rarely find a series that changes so much with the addition of
color as this one. It adds a new depth to the art and the new larger pages are
dynamite. Maybe even best of all is the
extra content at the back. There’s
character design sheets and stories about how O’Malley came up with all the
names and designs and ideas in the book!
Scott Pilgrim fans simply HAVE to read this and Soon-to-Be-Scott-Pilgrim-Fans
should read it too. I think anyone with
an even passing interest in comics or manga should give this one a try.
