Scott Pilgrim

The movie's just condensed action & references. There's no decompression as you'd call it. The part of the first volume I read, and then the wiki synopsis tells that the book is pretty much all the things I hate with the odd reference/action sequence to sucker in folks who like that BS. Hell, the movie's so damned visual I don't know how a black & white comics could adequately convey the awesome I witnessed in that movie.

see, the action in the book is cool (american manga style makes it flow) and the references...that's like 3/4 the strength ("you fight like a cow" etc). i dig you wanting to keep your original perception, but the book's so worth a read if you (like most of us) wanted more Wallace, for one. it's just more of the same.

I'm LOLing over here... Add to that I have very little tolerance for American Manga art, but I acknowledge that's a serious fault of mine & my inability to separate terrible art from masterful writing(not that I feel that's the case here, just accounting for the blind spot).

  • 1 year later...

new color edition comes out tomorrow (later today) -

 

Amazon Link

 

 

$14.24 on pre-order

 

Casually mentioned this on this thread and to my surprise many people werent aware, so I figured this could come in handy.

  • 6” x 9” size (bigger)
  • hardcover
  • full color (colors by Nathan Fairbairn)
  • overseen and with newly ‘remastered’ art by myself
  • brand-new covers
  • brand-new ‘extras’ sections with sketchbook & development work, much of it previously unseen
  • first 3 volumes relettered with the font from the last 3 volumes
  • the ‘classic’ b&w editions will remain in print
  • color editions will come out 2 per year (1: august 2012, 2: october 2012, 3-4: 2013, 5-6: 2014)
     
    Beyond the coloring there's some tweaks being made to the comics. Wether to fix stuff or to make it a tiny bit more in line to the latter books art style.

That collector's edition is fucking epic! If it'd been released around the time of the film's release, when I was at my zenith of SP fanboydom, I would've dropped the $40 on it toot-sweet...not so much now. The hardcover color volumes would be nice to have in a library in a few years when the price drops down.
