This past summer Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World came out and I thought it was AMAZING. Before I saw it in theaters, I had no idea that it was based on a comic book and directed in comic book style. I have never seen a movie quite like this one. Everything about the movie is cool, the style, the actors, the soundtrack, the quirky puns, the ridiculous fight scenes, the comic book style pop ups, everything, just everything!
After I saw the movie it sparked a small interest in me to read the comic books that the movie was based on. I wasn't completely sold on going out and buying the 6 volume set with each book having a $11.99 price tag. At Crimson Nights up at the University Of Utah, (the first big school party of the year) I was talking with a guy about the movie and comic books. He told me that he read the comic books and that they were unreal. The way he described them made me want to read them SO bad. Ever since that night I've been mentioning that I want to read them but just haven't gotten to the book store yet. So, Skyler being great, got me Volume 1 as part of my birthday present! I'm currently a little more than half way through and I'm in love :) I highly recommend you start to read the comics with me and see the movie if you haven't yet!
