Product Description: It's finally here! Six years and almost 1000 pages have all led to this epic finale! With six of Ramona's seven evil exes dispatched, it should be time for Scott Pilgrim to face Gideon Graves, the biggest and baddest of her former beaus. But didn't Ramona take off at the end of Book 5? Shouldn't that let Scott off the hook? Maybe it should, maybe it shouldn't, but one thing is for certain all of this has been building to Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour! The sixth and final volume to indie comics most influential series in the last decade! Soon to be a major motion picture coming in August 2010 directed by Edgar Wright and starring Michael Cera.
The series has concluded, but the quality hasn't. ^ First of all, this is obviously the 6th book in the series so I'm going to assume you know everything otherwise look at the first Scott Pilgrim book. The writing and references continue to shine here, and some especially dramatic sequences are created by way of panel placement. Any serious story is balanced with funny dialog and nerd culture references. Movie fans note the ending here is different from the movies, so no plot spoilers either way. A great conclusion to the series and a must read.
Magnificent book from start to end ^ On the back of this book, the author lists 3 categories: action, comedy, and romance. Those 3 categories symbolize exactly my feelings of his book. You will laugh, you will look in awe at some of the spectacle, and you (maybe) will cry. This review shall not only speak for the final installment of this epic series, but for the epici series it is. The simplest way to summarize the plot is this: Scott Pilgrim must fight Ramona's 7 evil exes to win her over. Many twists and turns run all throughout the series, many encounters, allusions, and cameos appear throughout, and if you were born and raised in the videogame era of 1985ish-1996ish, this series will not only appeal greatest to you, but will also invoke the biggest amount of nostalgia in you. Even if you weren't born in that time, but you still enjoy videogames, you will still appreciate and enjoy this series. Even if it's more or less games, the references to music, movies, and locations should still keep you to read. If not, the visual art style is pretty good, and becomes more defined and such in the later installments. As far as uniqueness, it's well drawn manga, but its somewhat easy to recreate and mock. Its great for fanart and such. I think anyone who wants a good read before or after they see the movie, I recommend. If you think mainstream culture could use a firm kick in the trousers, this series may cater to you. If you've read "Lost at Sea" by Bryan Lee O'Malley, expect something different but awesome too.
5/5
Fantastic conclusion to an amazing series. ^ If you made it to the end of Scott Pilgrim's vol 5, you owe it to yourself to experience this awesome and chapter. Not to spoil anything, but things wrap up in a vary satisfying, and in now way vague fashion.
Great! ^ This is the last book in the Scott Pilgrim series and I was a bit sad that it had to come to an end. I wanted to keep reading these books forever because of the dry humor. This is definitely a great book.
Scott- Awesome ^ love the book came right on time love the ending cant wait to see the movie
