Scott Pilgrim: Game Over

Life is not a video game, unless you're Scott Pilgrim.

While we all know dating sometimes feels like a land war in Asia, in Scott Pilgrim's world, dating goes hand-in-hand with heavy combat. To paraphrase the great philosopher Pat Benatar: Love is a comic book battlefield.

But today the battle ends with the publication of the sixth and final Scott Pilgrim comic, Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour. As anyone who has seen the trailer to the upcoming Michael Cera movie adaptation knows, Bryan Lee O’Malley’s tale of kung-fu craziness finds super-slacker Scott forced to literally fight off his girlfriend's previous exes:  super-Vegans, terrible twins, even the ultimate karate kick to the crotch, his girlfriend's ex-girlfriend.

Which brings us to the final chapter in the comic book series. After being subjected to every geeky challenge from living with a girl to finding and keeping a job, Scott thought he had it all figured out. Then, at the end of Book Five, the unthinkable happened. SPOILER ALERT: We are not going to spoil what that unthinkable thing is.

Instead, go grab the comics and find out for yourself. Otherwise you’re going to have to wait 24 whole days for the movie to come out.
