Scott Pilgrim cockteases you with 10 color pages at the beginning of volume 4, that I still don’t get the meaning of. It’s a shame since it’s so pretty. Either way, the black and white art is still expressive and tells a lot with fewer lines. BLOM jacks up the romance as our hero goes through hot Canadian summer of growin’ up. It’s a rather cool character progression that BLOM underscores with one of my favorite jokes in the book. Which there are a bunch of, and are they funny. This volume, however, seems to have less of the funky action sequences that I am a fan off. It could be the book’s increased size that makes the throwdowns feel sparse. But when you get to the last fight, you’ll laugh and cheer Scott on, which is a great feeling while doing so. I am absolutely in love with the series and I can’t wait to visit his world again. Buy all these books and lend them to your friends. Don’t ask for them back and buy them the fuck again.
