Who's their hot girl keyboardist, and what is Scott's relation to her? Why are they Knives Chau's new favourite band? Fights! Drama! Secrets revealed! The answers to all these questions and more!
Just as good as the First. ^ Leveled up and now I'm here at volume 2. Our protagonist Scott Pilgrim is continuing on his journey battling Ramona's evil ex boyfriends, being in a band, being in a relationship and not having a job. He's pretty much living the typical life of your average 23 yr old Canadian slacker be it being pummeled by a movie star evil ex and then daring him into performing a skateboard stunt or having his heart strings tugged on by the imminent return of the ex that broke his heart and went on to become a rock star. Scott Pilgrim is back and he's still unemployed and hilarious as ever. The writing is just as hilarious as the first you won't regret reading it at all. I was happy to read volume 2 it kept the same levity of the first volume and had absolutely no drawbacks as far as I'm concerned, if you want a fun read then read it, if not don't. See you at volume 3 slackers!
*Also on a side note for parents who are worried about their child reading this book there is no drugs, sex, or profanity to worry about.
Reread Review ^ I started to read the series some years ago, when there was only three books and have been following ever since. With the final book being released I'm rereading and reviewing the earlier books.
Though still funny, this book is much more action and story centered then the last. We learn more about Scott's (and his friend's) past, giving the series the 'epic' feel that follows throughout the rest of the series. The artwork is much better, but still not as good as the later volumes.
This book, and the series as a whole, is perfect for the 17 to 25 year old range, that are growing up in the same culture and going through the same experiences as Scott and his friends. Anyone up into their 30's can get a kick out of the series, being able to look back and laugh about that time in their lives.
Now a major motion picture. ^ Here we have the second Scott Pilgrim graphic novel of a projected six. It starts off with an extended flashback to Scott's high school years, before we get back to the present. Scott is happy with Ramona, but Knives isn't ready to give him up yet. And Scott still has to deal with more of Ramona's evil ex-boyfriends. A fun comic book so far.
Buy in Bulk, They Read too Fast!! ^ This ones just as entertaining as the first volume. I love the comedic style and the video-game references. I read this one in just a day, due to the length and the enjoyment. I don't want to spoil anything but this one picks right up where the first stopped, and it seems like this book has more of an element of suspense. The Knives Chau arc becomes intense, and I liked to see more action in this book. I got confused, again, at some moments when they introduced new characters. Because of the style of the book, it becomes easy to confuse one character for another, or to become lost because a lot of the people look very similar. That would be my only complaint about the book, but the complaint doesn't stand a chance against all the awesome joy I received while reading Scott Pilgrim.
Read Volume 2!!!! It's getting better!!!
An awesome fight ^ The Scott Pilgrim series of books is the type that you will find yourself reading over and over for years to come, lending out individual volumes to friends all the while.
This book, the second in the series, is where the author really finds his voice and lets the characters grow. We get some back story on the past relationship of Scott Pilgrim and Kim Pine as well as an early glimpse of many other characters in the series.
I could use a lot of hyperbole in an attempt to twist your mouse arm into clicking this into your possession, but I really don't even have to. Read one of these books and you will want nothing more than to see them through to the end.
