Scott Pilgrim this is not. Besides being totally vapid (which may not be a point against it since I am into that a lot of times on the weekend), a lot of plot points don't make sense at all. Hopefully vol 2 will clear up those doubts, but I don't know if I'll stick around for that. With Scott Pilgrim, each volume was fairly self-contained, and I like that structure a lot better. The art is neat though!
