\"Scott\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

By Bryan Lee O’Malley<\/strong> (Oni Press)
\nISBN: 1-9326-6412-2<\/p>\n

A second volume of Scott Pilgrim so soon? Ultra-cool. For those of you not in the know, Scott is just this guy who is eking out a generally stress-free existence in modern Toronto, not working, hanging out, sleeping late, and dating two girls. He’s in a band, but they pretty much suck.<\/p>\n

Did I say stress-free? Not so much this time as his gay room-mate orders him to sort himself out and dump the under-age girlfriend, Asian-American teen-ninja, Knives Chau, and concentrate on just Ramona Flowers. This latter chick Scott truly loves, and anyway, he’s already sworn to fight all her evil ex-boyfriends, the aptly titled \u00e2\u20ac\u0153League of Ramona’s Evil Ex-Boyfriends\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

Of course, love and two-timing is never simple, as Knives decides that she’s not quite ready to be dumped, so she gets a new look and decides to use her ninja powers to battle Ramona. We’re treated to a more vulnerable Scott Pilgrim here as he writes Ramona a thrash love song, is nearly defeated by her second E.E-B. – skate-boarding movie star Lucas Lee \u00e2\u20ac\u201c has to cook a meal and even make some decisions!<\/p>\n

Tip in a brief look at his awesome origin, and you have a wonderful slice of sheer captivating entertainment, that is by turn, warm, funny, surreal and un-putdownable.<\/p>\n

There are an abundance of teen oriented comic books on the stands at the moment, but this is the only one that has managed to co-opt the pulp science-fiction aspiration of instilling a Sense of Wonder into every moment, and this whimsical approach is the perfect antidote to all that angst, testosterone and fashionista marketing.<\/p>\n

You really should treat yourself to one of the first classics comic books of the 21st century. Go buy it now.<\/p>\n
