Scott Pilgrim Vol. 5: Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe
Ratings101
Average rating4.3
Scott Pilgrim is at the top of his game: he just turned 24, he moved in with the girl of his dreams, and he defeated at least half of The League of Ramona's Evil Exes. But life at the top is treacherous and if things can't possibly get any better for Scott, it means they can only get infinitely worse! Scott's band is in total turmoil, his own exes have all boarded the train to crazy town, and Ramona's evil exes have started appearing in pairs! And what's up with Ramona, anyway? She's been acting kinda weird ever since she and Scott moved in together. It's the second-to-last volume of the Scott Pilgrim series and it looks like Scott's precious little life has come back around to bite him in the butt!

Alarmingly short on Wallace Wells. I am only consoled by additional Kim Pine goodness, whose scenes with Scott BLOM really handles quite well. Wow, BLOM is an awesome acronym. BLOM BLOM BLOM.
My first instinct is that it's not nearly as funny as the first two volumes in particular, but I think it bears a second reading.
Le cinquième volume d'une de mes bandes dessinées préférées, drôle et divertissante mais qui sait aussi émouvoir et parler de sujets sérieux sur un ton comique.
I read this this morning in one sitting. Volume 5 of Scott Pilgrim finds Scott getting “old” (24), and reaching awkwardly adult moments with his bandmates, his girlfriend, and her league of evil ex-boyfriends that he has to fight to win her heart. In short, it's just another Scott Pilgrim book :o)
The further I get into this series, the more I realize that Kim Pine is my favourite character in the series. She's snarky when she needs to be, emotionally mature when others require it of her, and hopelessly, madly in love with a boy that doesn't deserve her.
The only drawback of this volume, I thought, was that it was paced a little oddly - it seems to be a setup for the upcoming volume 6 as much as it is an actual novel in its own rite, but aside from that, it was a lot of fun. Definitely recommended for fans of the series.
