i love this comic series so much. i laughed out loud numerous times.
This was so unserious, and so unbelievably funny without trying too hard to be. I've been meaning to read Scott Pilgrim ever since the new show came out last year, since I saw it circulating the internet everywhere and it honestly looked great. I can't believe this first graphic novel was published 20 years ago; reading it now, everything about it seems so fresh!
I can't even find anything to nitpick at with this first issue. It was just mindless fun and dry humour and a really adorable art style. It was lowkey a jumpscare when 'Toronto public library' showed up, and then all of the Canadian t-shirts and beer bottles and references kept rolling in as I flipped the pages. Not used to my home city being the setting for such widely known and loved series, so that was an added bonus! I'm so so so happy to have found a silly little comic like this. Such a great palette cleanser between the heavy fantasy novels or manga I tend to read more regularly.
Wallace Wells is an icon I love him so much <3
Knives was really cute too, Scott better let her down easy!!!
Scott himself was the perfect upfront, dry-humour protagonist. No idea what's going on with him and Ramona and their maybe magical dream thing... but I'm here for the ride.
Loving this series so much already!

To be honest, I expected more. Or different. But it has its moments.
The drawing is OK, however the character design is very flawed: most girls look alike except for weird hairdos and sometimes characters don't look like themselves.
The narrative was better than the story, the latter bugged me sometimes. I don't know if his awesomeness is meant to be ironic, but in this first volume Scott Pilgram is an asshole. At first I thought "what's the point of dating a 17 year old if it's gonna be like that?" but I guess it's a nice depiction of moronic things guys do (still, the description of the characters are somewhat off considering their actions, though I guess I prefer how they act, it's more honest and accurate than the Juno weird/cool thing). Towards the end I got the feeling I would enjoyed it more with just the slice of life and none of the Video Game boss parody with the ex's, although then it would probably be just a random ordinary comic.
