Scott Pilgrim is in trouble.

Ramona’s third evil ex-boyfriend, Todd Ingram, is currently dating the former love of Scott Pilgrim’s life! Envy Adams broke Scott’s heart a year and a half ago. Now she and her evil art-rock band are back, and they’re getting Scott’s band to open a show two days from now! That’s just enough time for Scott to fight Todd, keep Ramona happy, fend off demented ex-girlfriends, and practise that new setlist. Right??

All will be revealed in ‘Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness’, the third volume in Bryan Lee O’Malley’s brilliant graphic novel series.

Review quote:

‘”Scott Pilgrim” is the best book ever. It is the chronicle of our time. With Kung Fu, so, yeah: perfect.’ Joss Whedon, creator of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’

‘One of the best things to happen to printed comics this millennium.’ Ain''t It Cool News

‘A hilarious, idiosyncratic gem.’ Washington Post

‘A great oddball tale that captures the energy of a generation.’ Publishers Weekly

‘An inventive, genre-tweaking tale of young love, platonic bed-sharing and epic battles unlike anything else you will likely pick up. So, go on, pick it up.’ E! Online

‘Scott Pilgrim is the best 23-year-old ever. Like Proust''s Swann, he has a story that takes multiple volumes to unfold, except Pilgrim is even more awesome because he''s in a comic book … the series is wildly enjoyable for its absurdist humor, its indelible characters and its growing, inevitable sense of melancholy as Pilgrim becomes that most terrifying of things: 24 years old.’ Glen David Gold, author of ‘Carter Beats the Devil’ and ‘Sunnyside’
