I don't know what took me so long to read the comics- I'm stunned to find out how closely the movie follows the scenes even panel-by-panel. 
The humor is dry and effortlessly funny and Ramona is just as cool as she was when I watched the movie as a teen... I think it would be a tough time finding someone who doesn't find her charming :) 
This was a great start and I'll be reading all the rest too.

Oh dear. I was looking forward to this one because it sounded like such fun. Well, first off, I didn't like the manga-style drawings. They made the characters so flat and emotionless. I also often couldn't distinguish between them which was confusing. I decided to concentrate more on the text to follow the story - and found it to be a complete jumble. I got around half-way through before giving up. I guess I just don't "get" this one.

Good start to the series. Like the black and white editions better. (Especially since that’s what got me into making comics.)

lots of fun so far. I saw the movie, but I really appreciate in the books how I don't have to suspend disbelief that someone would date Michael Cera.
