Adventure Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, the second volume in Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim series begins with a flashback depicting Scott’s past relationships with Kim and Envy Adams. In the present, he continues to develop his relationship with Ramona Flowers, though his own insecurities begin to get in his way. Wendell tells Scott that he must break up with Knives Chau before things get serious with Ramona. Scott does so, but Knives begins spiraling, leading her to bleach part of her hair and attach Ramona and Scott’s sister, Stacey, in the Toronto Reference Library. Scott confronts Lucas Lee, the second of Ramona’s exes, on a film shoot and manages to dupe him into wiping out on his skateboard so that Scott wins by default. Scott demonstrates his ability to properly cook, making more than just garlic bread, and helping to demonstrate his worth to Ramona. Word reaches Scott that his ex, Envy Adams, is in town with her band, The Clash at Demonhead. She invites Scott and his band to open for her, reopening old wounds as their breakup was hard for him. It turns out that Envy’s drummer is the next of Ramona’s exes, setting up the conflict in volume 3. O’Malley continues to write a great story incorporating elements of nerd culture in a time when it was less mainstream as it is now. Some portions of the story show their age, but hold up if one views it as set in the time in which O’Malley published. A good second volume for this series. n this volume, Scott has to continue his battle with his new girlfriend's seven evil ex-boyfriends. But in this edition, Scott's ex-girlfriends get thrown into the pot. And, his most recent ex-girlfriend, Knives Chau, isn't going down without a fight. I enjoyed this volume more than I did the first volume. I'm still not sure that I find Scott Pilgrim sympathetic at all but I do like Knives.
In short, it’s more of the same as book one, only better. Belongs to SeriesScott Pilgrim (2)
Scott Pilgrim is no longer excited about dating a high school girl because he's met the girl of his dreams, literally. However, he won't be able to date her until he defeats her seven evil ex-boyfriends. No library descriptions found. |
