Summary:
Scott Pilgrim does a pretty good job of making his life perfect. He’s in a band, lives with a friend, and even has a high school girlfriend. But as we all know, things aren’t always as they appear. Scott is still reeling from a big breakup and hasn’t had a serious relationship since then.
But when he crosses paths with a girl named Ramona Flowers, he suddenly wants more. He wants her in his life, even if that means battling her seven evil ex-boyfriends. That’s not too unusual, right?
Review:
It’s always a bit surprising when a series does a time jump, no matter how short. That said, it often also leaves room for more character development and growth. So I was happy to see that happen in Scott Pilgrim Vol. 4.
Scott has been dealing with a lot of changes in his life. First, there’s the Knives thing. Then Ramona. Now, the evil exes plot, a few moving subplots, etc. It’s a lot, so you can see how little things slip through the cracks.
I’m still really enjoying this series, though I think the previous volume had better highs and lows. There are a few surprises in this volume, though, that help make it more compelling. However, a few of those moments raise more questions than they answer.
Highlights:
- Humor
- Romantic Plot (and Evil Exes)
- Musical Battles and More
