Product Description
That's right, folks! Put down the video game controller! Skip that rehearsal for your band! Make whatever sacrifices you must to those comic gods you hold so dear! Just make sure you're ready because Bryan Lee O'Malley and Scott Pilgrim are back! Well, a couple months have passed since the last time we caught up with our intrepid hero, but what can change in a few short months? Well, not much has... Scott's still living with his roommate Wallace Wells. He's still playing in a mediocre rock band named Sex Bob-omb. And most importantly, he's still dating the lovely Ramona Flowers while working his way through the gaggle of superpowered, superstylish, superevil ex-boyfriends determined to take him down. But something is different. Don't look now, but Scott Pilgrim may actually be getting it together. And it's a good thing, too, because Scott is about to confront Ramona's most intimidating ex yet!

'Gets It Together' is the 4th in Bryan Lee O'Malley's book series which literally keeps getting better. This time around, (starting off with a few glorious colour pages) Scott has to face his love life, getting a job and finding a new place to live. Plus, you know, ninjas.
The longest and most action-packed yet, this book contains some of the series' best images: Scott's head poking out of Ramona's infinitely large subspace bag while she battles a ninja with a titanium baseball bat, Scott earning 'the power of love' and an enemy exploding into bunny rabbits, pigs and birds.
This book is also the most complicated in terms of Scott's social life. His old friend Lisa Miller turns up to meddle with things and it looks like Sex Bob-omb is in danger of breaking up. Will Scott manage to get it together?
This may be the best to start out on - it has a short recap at the beginning and isn't hard to get into. If you want to go chronologically then obviously you'll start with 'Precious Little Life', but this is definitely my personal favourite and it'd make a great introduction to the series for newcomers.

The Scott Pilgrim series is very entertaining and this is another solid addition with good plotting and some of the more humorous events. Unfortunately, this is the American copy, which whilst in some ways is better (the opening is in full colour), it is a different size to English versions and the number on the spine is in a different place, meaning it looks out of place in my collection. So if you like Scott Pilgrim I would recommend the book but if you like a uniform collection either find an English copy or buy the American ones (which are better because of the colour segments).

The fourth volume of Bryan O'Malley's slacker/coming of age saga is a doozy, shifting the emphasis slightly from Scott's continuing battle with Ramona's evil ex-boyfriends, sorry, evil exes, to how Scott manages to grow up a bit (just a bit, though it earns him 9999 experience points) in terms of responsibility and relationships. So the battles aren't quite as crazy as in the previous volumes, though there's a great bit where Ramona's ex is chasing Ramona and Scott with a sword through the streets and Scott is tucked away in Ramona's subspace satchel, just his head poking out of the top, but by now you should have totally bought into the relationships between the characters, including but not limited to Kim Pine (is she in love with Scott or not?) and Knives Chau (still seventeen years old).
If you've not read any of the previous volumes and you're under 30, you must do so. (Okay, if you're over 30 you can do so too.) A bit like the TV show Spaced, it mixes the lives of young adults with references to TV shows, music, video games etc. Unlike Spaced, Scott's world is more fantastic: his girlfriend uses subspace to make deliveries and has seven evil exes who Scott must beat in Street Fighter style battle. Scott meanwhile is a likeable dimwit, clueless about the world but with a good heart. In this volume, he gets a job and there is much talk of the "l" word.
The art is mostly in black and white, though it kicks off with a colour section that features a Sonic the Hedgehog homage, and is a lovely simple cartoon style with some manga trappings that perfectly fits the tone. The paperback is in the tiny manga format but this works for it!
Personally I can't wait for the next volume and the battle against twins!
