It's the first volume, but again.
And somehow it remains charming.
Now that I'm used to this being a story about nothing more than Scott wandering around like a mooching wastrel who fights the Evil Exes of the girl he likes (loves?), I'm able to sit back and enjoy the non-story even more.
Now I will say, it's a bit harder for me to sympathize with his plights because I'm so far beyond that time in my life when it was attractive for a guy to be a slacker. But it's been fun trying to channel my inner 20something.
I like it. I don't know why I like it and I don't know who I'd recommend it to, but I like it.

Love this series and it'll never change. The colour art is gorgeous and it makes it so easy in these volumes to differentiate the characters. That's the biggest problem I had with the original black and white versions.
It really elevated the series for me and as always this made me smile/laugh out loud!! There are some moments where I do think, what in gods name is going on but then it skips back into place. The pacing is great and the art gorgeous

Way better than the first. So much good shit here that the movie leaves out that plays into Ramona and Scott’s relationship and their growth as characters. So much good shit left out in general. I mean I haven’t watched the movie in a long while but I’m pretty sure 80% of this was dropped or suuuuper condensed.
Better art, better character work, a lot funnier, definitely hitting its stride.

The colors add so much to this story, and make it such a joy to revisit. I read Scott Pilgrim when I was about his age, and coming back to it now a decade later is a bittersweet exercise in nostalgia. I remember experiencing love like that, having friends like that, being young like that. The high highs and low lows of 20's-dom snapped through a video game lense, brightly colored with an indie rock soundtrack. If you know you know.

Fantastic book, would definitely recommend to anyone.

Kind of wish we got to explore Envy's character a little more, but anyway.

Two words: Envy Adams.💙

Still a top tier book about adulting, relationships, living through the past, and trying to move forward in a very over-the-top-video-gamey way!

Still weird.

Second verse, same as the first! Scott continues to fend off Ramona's evil ex-exes while growing up and finally dealing with some of his past demons. It's quirky, it's touching, it's Scott Pilgrim. What more can be said?
Well this. Both volumes included in this book (Scott Pilgrim and The Infinite Sadness & Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together) do a wonderful job of showing Scott's maturation.
I especially adore Infinite Sadness because in it O'Malley beautifully portrays the origins of Scott and Envy's relationship and Envy's metamorphosis into Envy Adams through a series of flashbacks that are at times downright heartbreaking and infuriating. They do however make Scott's eventual defeat of one of the most satisfying in the entire series in my opinion.
Gets It Together is also great because it illustrates a recurring theme of the Scott Pilgrim series: the importance of growing up and becoming an adult, even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone. Whether it's , Scott and his inner circle all mature and grow in this volume.
Finally, both volumes also illustrate another recurring theme of the series, the importance of putting the past behind you, as seen in .
Overall another great installment in a series that I can't recommend enough.

wow ok a lot happened in these two volumes ummm lets rewind a bit shall we. ok thoughts: I HATE ENVY ADAMS. I HATE HER SO MUCH UGH WHAT A COW. she was such a conniving, manipulative evil ex. ugh i hate her im so glad she got what she deserved. the sheer trauma emulating from scott throughout that whole arc was wild, wallace and ramona are real ones for hating her.
im really glad that lisa didnt use scott while she had the chance. i was really worried that she was going to utilise the fracture in scott and ramona's relationship in order to get what she wanted out of him but scott (a true gentleman) shut her down, king behaviour. the miscommunication between scott and ramona was frustrating but im glad it was brief AND it lead to a confessionnnnnnnn. love that.
roxanne was a little intense. very intense. um yeah she definitely has some baggage to unpack but i guess shes dead now so it doesnt matter? not sure. it was kinda weird that ramona let her stay at her house even tho they are exes and shes dating someone else but i guess it was fine? also not sure.
we definitely delved more into scotts character from a different perspective which i really appreciated. he really is the cutest and so far is yet to let me down.
this review only really scratches the surface of what happened this volume but it was a lot to unpack so i think i'll just leave it and if you really care, read the books :p

I know nobody likes Scott Pilgrim (the character) and that's kind of the point but it's really hard to sit and read about something you dislike so much. Plus the nail in the coffin for me was the fact that Ramona admits to cheating on Scott right at the end and Scott just ignores the whole thing? They're so toxic.

Really shocked at how close the movie was to some of these scense. Of course this volume goes deeper into some of the characters that get glossed over in the movie (particularly Kim)

No aguanto a Ramona ni a Scott 😓

Summary:
Scott Pilgrim does a pretty good job of making his life perfect. He's in a band, lives with a friend, and even has a high school girlfriend. But as we all know, things aren't always as they appear. Scott is still reeling from a big breakup and hasn't had a serious relationship since then.
But when he crosses paths with a girl named Ramona Flowers, he suddenly wants more. He wants her in his life, even if that means battling her seven evil ex-boyfriends. That's not too unusual, right?
Volume 3
It's time to dive back into this series! I had planned on reading it all before the new Netflix series dropped. Since that happened almost a month ago (at the time of writing this), I failed miserably with that goal.
It's hard to believe that Envy broke Scott's heart only a year and a half ago. It feels like it would have been longer, but I guess that just shows how much can change in a year, especially when you're that age.
The fight with Todd did not go as expected (my expectations were set by the movie, obviously). I think, in a way, I liked this version better? The movie version was more compact, so I understand why they did things that way. But this one was more layered and complex.
Long story short – fans should absolutely be reading this series, as there's so much more to find within the pages.
Volume 4
It's always a bit surprising when a series does a time jump, no matter how short. That said, it often also leaves room for more character development and growth. So I was happy to see that happen in Scott Pilgrim Vol. 4.
Scott has been dealing with a lot of changes in his life. First, there's the Knives thing. Then Ramona. Now, the evil exes plot, a few moving subplots, etc. It's a lot, so you can see how little things slip through the cracks.
I'm still really enjoying this series, though I think the previous volume had better highs and lows. There are a few surprises in this volume, though, that help make it more compelling. However, a few of those moments raise more questions than they answer.
Highlights:
Humor
Romantic Plot (and Evil Exes)
Musical Battles and More

Another comic I just did not want to put down. WOW THIS IS SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE MOVIE!
Once again it has the same feel of the first collection with it being very silly but also jarring. I constantly look to the previous page feeling as if I missed something or skipped a page because the connection between panels sometimes doesn’t flow, but the story itself is still good.
I think the movie does do certain things better, but once again reading this comic is giving me a lot more and healing that part of me that wished the movie was so much longer. While the first collection was more accurate, this one was giving me something new and although it did feel a lot like filler, it gave me more drama and focused more on the characters rather than the whole Scott having to defeat the evil exes. I’m giving this a 4.9, because I did like the first section more, but this was such a fun read and I am going to hopefully finish the last one by the end of today.

It must have been longer than I realized since I last read the series because I didn't remember the majority of this. It's still a cute series but very much a product of its time (which is to say the strain of 2000s Hipster/Indie-bro sexism is more noticeable here). Also I'm surprised when I first read this that I didn't notice how much a dick Scott Pilgrim is. He's like if Ataru from Urusei Yatsura was somehow even more annoying.

Scott Pilgrim at its finest and most unhinged. There are evil exes aplenty in this volume, with smart use of bystanders and party scenes to draw the line from comic action to real young adult drama. The plot twists are unforced and this volume really pays off the uncomfortable things set up earlier, like Knives being the only underage girl hanging out with these adult slackers, or the revolving door of band members, or the arbitrary nature of the League itself.

4.5/5 rounded down: only once or twice did a punchline land as though I were on the outside of an inside joke - far fewer times than book 1. The only thing keeping this from perfection is the arcs dragging out. Most especially Todd.

What happens to a relationship after the honeymoon phase. Not as sharp as volume one but still just as funny as ever.
December 21, 2023
this one was even funnier than the first!!! and once again so much more depth to the characters but done well through the amazing 21st century humor that this series absolutely nails.

Beautifully coloured and holds way more material than the movie!!!
Envy is such a sympathetic character! Scott is a piece of shit loser.
Personally—i would have slept with Lisa.
