O'Malley, Brian Lee - Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe

It was quite a mission getting hold of this!  Mostly because I'm not willing to pay standard-NZ-comic-price.  But it arrived in the mail yesterday, and all is well...  It is also literally shiny!

This is the penultimate volume in the Scott Pilgrim series, and I think it shows.  It doesn't stand on its own as well as the other books, being as it's mostly lead up for the big showdown with Gideon.  I think it will probably work well in the context of the series... but considering how far away the 6th volume probably is, it's a bit unsatisfying.

The most awesomeness in this volume comes from Kim Pine.  I want her to be my best friend.  Scott is even more of a dork than usual, Ramona seems on edge - probably for good reason (asides from Scott's being a dork), but we have to wait for the final volume to find out why!

...I had no idea that Bryan Lee O'Malley was Korean-Canadian!

I was sad that we didn't get more inside Ramona's head this volume. I really liked her slowly becoming less of a cipher in the last one.

But Kim is awesome! The tequila scene, also, so awesome.
