Graphic it up!

Um, thank you Cezie-face for putting a gun to my head until I picked up a copy of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels. I bought book 1 and I am now officially hooked! It's great because when Cesar said that this book is about him I can see why. I started having flashbacks to how it was when we all lived together. The shennanigans we would get into and the silly things we would say and do.

The book is now highly recommended by yours truly. I can't wait to get a copy of book 2.


What is Scott Pilgrim about, you ask? He's this 23 year old who plays bass in a band, is "in-between" jobs, mooches off his gay roomie, and is dating some 17 year old high school girl. CHINESE girl, to be exact. Oh, and it's set in Canada. That factoid right there is worth its weight in gold!

Look at me, gettin' all into graphic novels now. Finished Scott Pilgrim within hours and started Maus by Art Spiegeilman. Been meanng to read it since college (I'd always see the book on the shelves every quarter when we'd buy books for new classes.) Amazing so far. How did I go this long not reading it?

What is your favourite graphic novel?
