Like many people, I picked this book up after seeing the film but never actually read until now. The book follows Scott, an out of work musician who is going out with Knives Chau, a 17 year old school girl, at a catholic school. Who dreams of a young woman, that he discovers is actually real.
With that recap of the basic story out of the way. I really enjoyed reading the basis for the feature film. This film follows the book very closely, and ends after Scott fights Matthew Patel, there are additional details in the book I liked, such as the part with Crash and the Boys, knocking out the audience, with the final song of their set.
The characters are excellent, although Scott is pretty much a dick, but I still enjoy reading about his story.
Overall, a fun story worth a read.

I'm just getting into graphic novels, but I love this story! Fast read and really fun.

The graphic novel itself didn't bother me itself with it's depiction of Scott and Knives' relationship as every other character condemned it, but Bryan Lee O'Malley's descriptions in the author notes are foul. I still enjoyed reading a pirated copy on a whim, and I must check out the rest of the series soon! I live just over an hour outside of Toronto and it feels so weird recognizing locations in a piece of media!

li tudo em 1 dia da primeira vez em 2012, dei dnf na segunda tentativa agora em 2025. infelizmente não foi uma comic que envelheceu bem pra mim
I read this entire book today, no joke. I bought it today, I don’t have any power, so I read it during the last part of the day with any light. It was pretty good for a 10 dollar non-colored comic book, and I’d seen videos from the movie on tiktok (mainly of the guy and brie larson) and i have a friend who loves it (vi shout out) so I figured I’d just do the inevitable and read it. It was funny, it also contains a slur, and was a lil weird, but to be honest this is basically just my friend group but older and high all the time. solid 8.5/10, would recommend to all the little weirdos out there.

I am a huge fan of the movie, Scott Pilgrim Vs the World, and I recently decided to read the graphic novels to catch up on what backstory and amusing quips I may have missed.
I enjoyed this start to the series, though the movie was so true to this beginning that I haven't learned much new yet. Not a knock to the book, however, more of a compliment to it, that it's material was so well done as to require only small rhythmic changes to turn it into such a wonderful film.
