The series is less about teenager Scott Pilgrim and more about his struggles against his newfound love’s Seven Evil Exes, who he must defeat in order to date her. It was the series of graphic novels that for a brief moment in time seemed to spawn a phenomenon, and then after a year or so in the limelight almost vanished completely.

You’re at the cinema, purchasing overpriced popcorn to eat during a new movie starring an awkward Michael Cera: …it’s Scott Pilgrim. Books are overrated and don’t have enough pictures, so you’re flipping through a graphic novel: …it’s Scott Pilgrim.
