Scott Pilgrim
Volume 2
by Bryan Lee O'Malley (Oni)
Nominated for Best Book
"a manga-graphic novel hybrid that's part romance,
part video game -- a Crouching Tiger set in Archie's Riverdale. The conceit
is that twentysomething slacker-cum-musician Scott must defeat the seven
evil ex-boyfriends of his new girlfriend Ramona Flowers (a rollerblading
Amazon delivery girl), and challenge his ex, and musical arch-rival, Envy
Adams. Peppered between the witty banter and backstage shenanigans are
digs at Montreal art-rock bands and MySpace descriptors layered over panels.
The latest volume even features an epic battle in Toronto landmark Honest
Ed's." (Nathalie
Atkinson)
Bryan Lee O'Malley lives in Halifax. At last
year's Doug Wright Awards, he won the 2004 Best Emerging Talent trophy.
His latest book is Scott Pilgrim Volume 3.
