thelizabeth 's review for:
Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life
by Bryan Lee O’Malley
On Chris's bookshelf, and I think it has been since we met Brian K. Vaughan at a Comic Con panel in 2005, and he wrote the title down on a piece of paper to recommend for us.
I like it! But I feel I am reserving the fourth star for additional volumes. I've been rating things conservatively lately.
The escalation to this beginning is pretty cool. You think it's just a funny book, with a funny style. Then in the middle it's like "There's a secret subspace highway running through your dream" and you are like WTF and then it is like "Also Scott is the best fighter in the world" and you're still like WAIT A SECOND.
So it should be fun.
Though, I'm afraid to say it, I do hope there is a little nuance arriving in later books to account for the "You have to defeat my evil ex-boyfriends before I can date you" thing. Which is, of course, the main thing. And it's not that big a deal, maybe, but at a basic level is not the most unconventional theme I've ever seen. And this seems to be a series that is proud of thinking outside the box, so I wonder what it's about, there.
I was super surprised how fast I read this, even for a comic book. Onward!
