I had no issue telling them apart this time around. My main complaint in previous books of the female characters being hard to tell apart has been addressed. O’Malley’s drawing has noticeably improved this time around. All of the other gaming references are still there as well, such as where characters get their weapons from. I’m particularly fond of O’Malley’s choice to use 8-bit type drawing to depict characters’ overly idealistic memories of past relationships. The action and the gaming and pop culture shout-outs that fans loved in the first five books are still present here. Them dating just makes a lot more sense after reading this book. Similarly, why Scott likes Ramona so much gets answered. It also doesn’t talk down to the reader’s intelligence at all. The answer to what the subspace is makes sense and fits in with the story well.
O’Malley successfully ties up all the ends without being too cute.
I’m going to have a hard time writing this review without devolving into a bunch of random squeeing, so please bare with me. It’s one of those endings to a series that makes you like the previous entries in the series even more. Will he fight Gideon? Will he have casual sex with any of his exes? Will Ramona show back up? His friends have got on with their lives, and they finally get around to trying to get Scott to face up to his past. Ramona Flowers disappeared,and Scott Pilgrim has spent the last four months of his life wallowing in depression in an apartment his parents paid for playing videogames and avoiding fighting the last evil ex, Gideon.
