After knowing so much about it through seeing the game, the movie I'd seen many times, reading the first volume a couple times when I was younger and general popular osmosis, I thought I had Scott Pilgrim pinned but it was better than my expectations led me to believe. Though not as flashy and entertaining as other mediums, this had much better characters, a much better set up and deeper character art with great worldbuilding that ages this into a time capsule that is only surpassed by the AVGN in how well it's able to capture early 2000's internet nerd culture (AVGN even only had a specific slice of that while Scott is more all-around). I'm surprised by the all the gay representation in it and wonder what everyone else thinks of it. I read the colorized version and didn't think anything looked out of place. There was nothing too experimental like Jojo's but I imagine it made it easier to read. It was very well paced and seemed to hit a sweet spot for what it was trying to do.
