Wherever you go on the internet, you'll hear one of two things:
1- HIPSTER BULLSHIT BURN ALL OF IT DOWN
2- OH GOD I LOVE IT IT'S THE REBIRTH OF COMIC BOOKS
Truth is, Scott Pilgrim's a funny little comic. I, myself, didn't enjoy it IMMENSELY as at first everyone did. It's a love story with No More Heroes-styled ranking battles. Gaming references are the blatantly obvious kinds (the kind that's like "pass me the mushrooms" "OH IS THAT LIKE IN MARIO?" Seriously, it's that bad), and the story is pretty enjoyable. I love certain characters, think many can be very cool, and rest assured that both the movie and the game are AWESOME (far better than the comic even). My main problem with it, is that both the main characters are immensely unlikeable. Scott and Ramona are supposed to be rooted for, but you end up loving the rest of the cast (who actually does something other than whine about their lives and act cool) that you'll end up having a bit of hatred for those two. But Scott eventually turns into that friend of yours who's an [dark hold], the story turns into something you've invested in and you deserve to know more, and you know what? It's one of those things which, if not for a ton of blatant [tornado fang]ing publicity and "BEST THING EVER" shoved in our faces, it would have been that one cool little comic we would have found out and thought: "Wow, this is pretty cool and fun". But as it stands?
Well, Scott Pilgrim is something that would have worked better as a webcomic. It's a comic about a guy that almost seems autobiographical and "coolified" in order to give it some kinda pizazz. I didn't like the first volume, then warmed up to it, then pretty much ended up liking, but not loving it. I do expect to love the movie, and currently am totally addicted to the game, mostly because those two are made by reputable and excellent directors/developers.
My advice? Download and read all of it. It's of webcomic standards, but it's pretty good, I guess. Not for everyone. I kinda like it.
