Even though Bryan Lee OMalley has been creating the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels for three years, I really only became aware of the book last year when a SuicideGirl emailed me how excited she was that Edgar Wright was going to adapt it. I had interviewed Wright for the US release of Shaun of the Dead and I was a big fan. I figured it was time to get in touch with OMalleys publisher and check out this book. I found Scott Pilgrim to be a fun and unique concept. The series is about a young Canadian...
DRE:
Scott Pilgrim has a really strong female readership.
BLO:
It seems that way.
DRE:
What do you think accounts for that?
BLO:
I just try to characterize characters well and not make the girls objects like they seem to be in most comics.
He makes it sound so simple and OBVIOUS. Listen up, Other Comic Books!

If I have to wait any longer for book 4 my fragile mind will fall apart...
Right after I read 3 I was like, "ooh, when's 4 coming out??" Then I looked at the copyright dates and noticed that they average one book a year
I'm excited at the prospect of the movie going beyond what's written too, kind of a glimpse into where the comic's heading. Plus I've really enjoyed all the Edgar Wright stuff I've seen so far.
