What is going on with Ramona? I must know! How can they be filming the movie when the series isn't even over yet? ( )

Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe, the fifth volume in Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim series, sees Pilgrim learning to take responsibility for his own unblemished relationship history even as he must combat Ramona Flowers’ fifth an sixth evil ex’s, the twins Kyle and Ken K. Stephen Stills continues to toil aways at creating an album while Kim and Ramona bonds. Scott and Ramona find that their relationship will take work amid revelations from Ramona’s past and Scott’s own momentary infidelity with Knives Chau, who is stll infatuated with him. Meanwhile the two new evil exes arrive: Kyle and Ken use robots to battle Scott, leading to increasing fights that feel reminiscent of the Red Ribbon Army Saga from Dragon Ball Z. Following the revelation that Scott may have cheated on both Knives and Ramona prior to formally breaking up with Knives, Ramona becomes distant. Her head flashes more and there are increasing signs that Gideon is back in town and actively manipulating her. Scott couch-surfs, working to make amends, but do not know how thing will end as Ramona keeps ghosting him. This fifth volume sets the stage for the final confrontation in volumes six, with bonus features including a thumbnail-to-final-art description and discussion from O’Malley, particularly useful for those who don’t appreciate the genre as well as newcomers who worry about their work’s finished loos.

it got one full star on the basis of fighting robots alone. ( )

Another excellent volume in the Scott Pilgrim series. It's nice to see characters like Kim and Knives and Ramona get more character development than the movie allotted them. A whole lot of foreshadowing going on, and the cliffhanger revealing the last ex was really good. I hope the sixth (and final) volume does the series justice with a proper conclusion. ( )
