“Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour”: O’Malley’s Hilarious, Thrilling Finale to the Pilgrim Saga

Posted on July 20, 2010 by

Scottpilgrim6 I just finished reading Bryan Lee
O'Malley's new graphic novel "Scott
Pilgim's Finest Hour,
" the conclusion to his epic "Scott
Pilgrim
" series, which came out today.

For those that have missed it, "Scott Pilgrim" is a manga-style comic chronicle of the adventures of a slacker / musician / kung fu fighter who falls
hopelessly in love with the mysterious Ramona Flowers, ninja messenger girl.
Trouble is, in order to keep Ramona, Scott has to defeat each of
Romona's "seven evil exes."

The conclusion was an incredible ride, taking us into Scott's tortured psyche as he wrestles (literally) with his own demons, introduces us to the deliciously evil ex-boyfriend Gideon, and ties up lots of loose ends in the series very nicely.  It's been great seeing O'Malley's artwork evolve and develop over the year's during the series, and he creates some gorgeous pages in this final volume.  Sadly, there was no color insert like in the previous volume.

"Scott Pilgim's Finest Hour" is available at a fine comic store near you, or of course on Amazon.  If you are in New York, I can not recommend highly enough the nice folks at Bergen Street Comics in Brooklyn.

In related news, I just scored tickets to a sneak preview of the film "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" next week!  So exciting!

And lastly, I <heart> Knives Chau. That is all.

    Great post. Then again you can get back into the whole argument about what makes Jewish music, Jewish? If you have a klezmer band that is played by non-Jews is it Jewish? The fact that the word “mazal tov” is a word in the song make it a Jewish song? No doubt Jewish music may mean different things to different people.
