Since most people that read this edition of Scott Pilgrim will already be familiar with the story, I'm going to review what color does for the story and a bit about the added bonus features.
In some ways I'm a traditionalist and I don't really like the trend of coloring black and white comics as it does take a bit away from how the story was originally presented. In the case of Scott Pilgrim, the black and white at times felt perfect for the story as it give it a magnaesque vibe to it that fit well with the storyline. But...at the same time as the series and characters progressed the black and white felt limiting, as we talked about the changes in Ramona's hair color and the fight scenes that shaped the characters. So I am glad to have a chance to read the colorized version of the novel as it brings an added vibrancy and depth to Bryan's work. The colors help make the character come to life and it feels like a good animated Saturday morning cartoon, like Animaniacs, which works well with the story. In particular the color enhances the band and battle scenes, making a good black and white drawing, suddenly feel animated. My favorite scenes in color--Scott's battle sequence with matthew Patel and the demon girls. The color just brings so much to that scene, shadows and highlights that just make things pop. So despite my unease the color really does help create a more vibrant story.
This volume also includes some bonus content that reveals the life of Scott Pilgrim, before he became Scott Pilgrim. Bryan shares with us some of his influences, such as the title of a band's song, friends and family that the characters and story were based upon, and how he sold the idea to Oni to create this series of graphic novels. In addition, Bryan shares some more personal reflections such as the feelings of the rather low key release date (due to the publishing of the book being pushed back) as well his ideas and depictions of how the characters evolved as he drew them (always one of my favorite things to see.)
In short if you're a fan of Scott Pilgrim then you'll definitely want to add this book to your collection. And if you aren't a fan of Scott Pilgrim or never read it before, give this book a try in its new colorized version. You won't regret it. 5 out of 5 stars.

I like many was a bit skeptical about a color edition: would it be worth re-buying a book I already owned just for some color and a few tweaks? Would I like the colorist's work? Honestly though, they did a great job. I love black and whIte comics as a rule but this series really shines in color because the style of coloring was appropriate to the lineart and added to the story instead of being a distraction. Also a few touched up panels doesn't hurt.
Bottom line is: if you love SP and don't mind shelling out some more money for the series it's totally worth it. This comic adapts surprisingly well to color.

I own all of the Scott Pilgrim books, posters, and anything mildly related to the series (my name is Scott too..). I found myself conflicted when considering buying this; I wondered what difference color would make while reading this, but was reassured by a preview I viewed online. Color brings this already lively story to life, and actually gets one exited to re-read the novel, in short a long time fan or someone looking to get into the series will love this. From its bizarre mix of real life and video games, to the alluring indie rock scene of Toronto, and all the little quirks make the series worth rereading over and over. In time younger generations probably won't find it as appealing, but for anyone who can relate to coasting through life in a directionless manner, only to suddenly be faced with more than they ever have, this book is timeless. Needless to say, from my very subjective perspective, five stars easily.

I honestly did not expect O'Malley's color versions to be anything special. Why should I re-purchase all of the books when I still absolutely love the original black-and-white... Read more

Possibly the greatest comic ever
I read almost exclusively super hero comic books. I never thought I'd rate a comic book higher than Batman: Dark Knight Returns. I am doing just that right now. Read more
