Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Listen up comic book fans! For those who aren't already in the know about this, there is an awesome series by Canadian Bryan Lee O'Malley about a slacker hero wanna-be rockstar named Scott Pilgrim. The series is five books so far and incredibly hilarious with gags revolving around video game/anime/comic references. In order to date a girl who's using his head to deliver packages (Ramona Flowers) Scott must fight and defeat her seven Evil Ex-Boyfriends (they have a league!). Filled with punchy art and wacky humor, this slice of life-cum-heroic epic is a must read.

Also, they're making a movie of it with Michael Cera in the lead. Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) is directing. They have a weekly blog that updates (two are already up) and it looks awesome. I'm saying this as a skeptical fan, too. Very cool! Please check it out! It's called Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
