Get the hot girl. Defeat her evil exes. Hit love where it hurts. Easy, right? note 

"Scott, if your life had a face, I would punch it. I would punch your life in the face."

Scott Pilgrim is an award-winning indie graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley and published by Oni Press throughout the mid-to-late 2000s.

The series revolves around its namesake characternote , a Canadian twentysomething slacker who plays bass in a band called Sex Bob-Omb and otherwise lives a comfortable life mooching off his friends and roommate. Said life is thrown into chaos when American ninja delivery girl Ramona V. Flowers moves into town and starts using his dreams as a shortcut to other places, and Scott falls in love with her. However, to be free to date her, he has to defeat her seven evil exes in battle (they have a league) and — quite possibly — get a life.

Did we mention that it's set in a RPG Mechanics 'Verse version of Toronto that runs based on the Acceptable Breaks from Reality used in River City Ransom?

The series runs through six volumes and two side stories:

Main volumes:

  1. Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life (2004)
  2. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2005)
  3. Scott Pilgrim & the Infinite Sadness (2006)
  4. Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together (2007)
  5. Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe (2009)
  6. Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour (2010)

Side stories:

  • Free Scott Pilgrim (initially published for Free Comic Book Day 2006, later featured as an extra in the color edition of Volume 3; it's set between the former and Volume 4)
  • The Wonderful World of Kim Pine (A Day in the Limelight story for Kim Pine, released for Comics Festival 2007 as a plot gap fill between Volumes 3 and 4, and also featured in Volume 3's color edition; can be seen here)

The series had a full-color Updated Re-release that was progressively issued by volume between 2012 and 2015, finally rendering all those black-and-white jokes completely meaningless.

See Scott Pilgrim for adaptations in other media.
