Amendment – Scott Pilgrim

An update to my earlier write up of Scott Pilgrim, I finally finished reading all three of the Scott Pilgrim comics and to my delight I enjoyed them particularly after Book One’s mid point when the general themes and characters had been established. Both Geek Nights and The Ninja Consultants have done reviews and you should check them out. 

While I probably missed out on some of the humour I found it an enjoyable read with interesting characters and visual style. Personally, I found some of the gamer jokes quite cool. Scott not being able to take the skateboard was gold. Also gold is vegan power! I will have to watch my vegan friend now.  

If you’re a bit geeky and/or a bit indy you’ll enjoy this series. I’ll also put up a disclaimer to say I’ve never been into comics – other than the Sunday paper kind – and I bought these on the strength of the above reviews. It was a good buy but remember read in order.
