Scott Pilgrim

Scott Pilgrim is a comic book series by Bryan Lee O'Malley, intended to eventually consist of six digest size black-and-white volumes. The first volume was released in 2004 and, as of 2009, five have been released, all published by Portland, Oregon-based independent comic book publisher Oni Press. The name "Scott Pilgrim" originates from a song by the all-girls '90s band Plumtree.

The series is about 23-year-old Canadian Scott Pilgrim, a slacker, hero, and part-time bassist who is living in Toronto and plays bass guitar in the band "Sex Bob-Omb." He falls in love with American delivery girl Ramona V. Flowers, but must defeat her seven "evil exes" in order to date her.
