Not only is the comic amazing but the book is cinematically ingenious. Not to mention the art, the art! So so good. Scott Pilgrim is about a guy living in Toronto Canada that was to defeat his girlfriend, Ramona, seven evil ex boyfriends. Scott is very desperate to get over his ex girlfriend so he starts dating a high school and cheats on her for Ramona. The story delves in to a lot of surreal relationship meanings and finding yourself as a person. Love is a huge part of the the story and at the end of the comic, Scott discovers he is no better then Gideon, Ramona's last evil ex. Scott reaches closer with his ex Envy as he also does with Knives. Knives moves on and goes to college while Scott and Kim start a new band together band. Ramona decides to give Scott and her relationship another chance and they whisk off into sub space together. The story centers around change and being able to move on. Scott also versus Nega Scott which was basically Scott fight his inner demons. He makes the decision to change for the better, for his friends but more importantly himself. You see this when Scott uses the Sword of Understanding rather then the Sword of Love. How can you love someone if you can't have compassion for them? Their is no room in a relationship for selfish behavior, someone as young as Scott develops as a person. He gains that compassion and understand for others.
Don't you just wish that ever everyone was like that? able to learn life lessons as quickly as characters do in comics/movies/books/etc. I guess one can only dream that people will learn in time, unfortunately others never change and they always revert back to their old ways. Instead of people running from their mistakes like Scott did, they have to face them head on.
