Product Description
Review
‘”Scott Pilgrim” is the best book ever. It is the chronicle of our time. With Kung Fu, so, yeah: perfect.’ Joss Whedon, creator of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’
‘One of the best things to happen to printed comics this millennium.’ Ain't It Cool News
‘A hilarious, idiosyncratic gem.’ Washington Post
‘A great oddball tale that captures the energy of a generation.’ Publishers Weekly
‘An inventive, genre-tweaking tale of young love, platonic bed-sharing and epic battles unlike anything else you will likely pick up. So, go on, pick it up.’ E! Online
‘Scott Pilgrim is the best 23-year-old ever. Like Proust's Swann, he has a story that takes multiple volumes to unfold, except Pilgrim is even more awesome because he's in a comic book … the series is wildly enjoyable for its absurdist humor, its indelible characters and its growing, inevitable sense of melancholy as Pilgrim becomes that most terrifying of things: 24 years old.’ Glen David Gold, author of ‘Carter Beats the Devil’ and ‘Sunnyside’
Product Description
Scott Pilgrim is in trouble.
Ramona’s third evil ex-boyfriend, Todd Ingram, is currently dating the former love of Scott Pilgrim’s life! Envy Adams broke Scott’s heart a year and a half ago. Now she and her evil art-rock band are back, and they’re getting Scott’s band to open a show two days from now! That’s just enough time for Scott to fight Todd, keep Ramona happy, fend off demented ex-girlfriends, and practise that new setlist. Right??
All will be revealed in ‘Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness’, the third volume in Bryan Lee O’Malley’s brilliant graphic novel series.

A series that continues to excel.
I thought the ending to the first volume didn't really fit. It just came completely out of nowhere. But volume 2 combined this strange, surreal element with the quirkyness of Scott and his friends very well. It didn't pull it off perfectly, but it was good fun none the less.
However, volume 3 is just brilliant. It loses some of the subtlety of the first and second volumes to just go completely bizarre. The manga influences are really coming through in this volume, and it really pays off.
The characters are already quite well developed up to this point in the series, but they continue to grow and your fondness/loathing of them is accelerated 10x with the developments in volume 3.
I know O'Malley's artwork is sometimes panned, but I think it suits the series' pretty well. Some of the captions in this book are superb.
Chances are, if you've already read volumes 1 and 2, and you're looking at this, you've probably already made your mind up to purchase it so don't need me to tell you to. But hopefully this review will be of help to somebody!

really enjoyed this one along with the rest. they explain things a lot better than the film did so i am glad i read them all
Format:Paperback
In my opinion this is by far the strongest entry in the Scott Pilgrim series and well worth buying. Though the ending (as the author jokingly admits) is a little weak. Still a very enjoyable read I would highly recommend.
