I'm what 40 & 50 year old marketing people would label as a "gamer" *quotation fingers* so it's no surprise I'm a fan of the Scott Pilgrim series. For those not "in the know" of what this series is all about hit up the wiki link I just provided you (duh) *ahem* or for those to lazy I'll give you a quick summary. Bryan Lee O'Malley creates a great world grounded in a teen drama assaulted by obscure and not so obscure video game references. It's about a guy's life to acquire the perfect girlfriend (one that delivers packages for amazon.ca and can zip in and out between our dimension and another.) NOTE: If that last sentence was a run on I'll apologize to my English teachers on my deathbed. To officially "claim her" and call her his girlfriend he must defeat her 7 evil ex-boyfriends in wacky and chaotic duels to the death. Not only does he tell a fun story but he also does a bang up job emulating a manga-type stlye filled with clever visual puns and really fuckin cute chicks. Anyway, if defeated ex-boyfriends that explode into coin currency and yell "BARF!" triggers your nerd-sense GO BUY THE BOOKS NOW! BEFORE THE MOVIE COMES OUT SO YOU DON'T SEEM "TRENDY"! MICHAEL CERA I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST YOU BUT DON'T FUCK THIS UP! *ahem* LINKIES!
