It's finally here! Six years and almost 1000 pages have all led to this epic finale! With six of Ramona's seven evil exes dispatched, it should be time for Scott Pilgrim to face Gideon Graves, the biggest and baddest of her former beaus. But didn't Ramona take off at the end of Book 5? Shouldn't that let Scott off the hook? Maybe it should, maybe it shouldn't, but one thing is for certain all of this has been building to Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour! The sixth and final volume to indie comics most influential series in the last decade! Soon to be a major motion picture coming in August 2010 directed by Edgar Wright and starring Michael Cera.

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
O’Malley wraps up his megahit slacker opera in this sixth volume, at last delivering the battle between Scott and Ramona and the insufferable Gideon Graves (“Occupation: asshole”). Throughout the series, O’Malley has proven to be a remarkably clever cartoonist, but his manga-inflected artwork has never looked more accomplished than it does here, with plenty of inventive touches to savor splayed across the multifaceted panel work. The video-game and indie-rock references still play strong, and Scott’s “Memory Cam” is a particularly hilarious new device that nails his winning blend of oblivious charm. Substantively, the book is mostly one extended fight sequence (and a pretty epic one, at that) capped by Scott’s hard-won maturation, with plenty of closure to go around. O’Malley ties up an impressive array of loose ends in the finale to this bighearted series, and few fans will be in any way disappointed, but it’s hard not to look back fondly upon the more shallow, aimlessly myopic Scott Pilgrim of earlier volumes. In any case, an essential addition. Grades 10-12. --Ian Chipman

I was starting to get worried about Ramona and Scott during the last two volumes. Thankfully, this one wrapped up everything perfectly, while still maintaining humor and suspense. There are a couple confusing moments, and belief is suspended much more dramatically this time, but the story and heart of the novel are just too good to let that affect anything. I can't say it's my favorite out of the series, but "Finest Hour" is definately one of the best. I had that feeling you get at the end of the series, where you're sad to see it end, but the conclusion lives up to its demands.
Bye Scott Pilgrim, we are sad to see you go. Your conclusion has redefined the feeling of "bittersweet" for all of us comic readers. May your film be just as spectacular as your series. Whatever happens next, all of us will still regard Scott Pilgrim as a classic in graphic novel literature.

Quite simply, this was the perfect ending to a phenomenal series. If you liked the first five then this will make you LOVE everything about the series. Everything gets wrapped up neatly and believably...Kim Pine, Gideon, Stephen Stills!, Knives.
It's a happy book without being sappy and gross.
All-in-all, my only advice is READ IT RIGHT NOW and you too can Perfect Reading!

We come to the end of what might be the best comic series of the last decade. At the very least it's the work that people will point to when they talk about this generation (20's to 30's).
It didn't end the way I thought it was going to, but was very happy with it none the less. All the characters evolved in there own way. Even the secondary characters. ESPECIALLY the secondary characters. The twist with Stephen Stills made me slap my head and wonder why I didn't see it coming.
Some of the artwork felt a little rushed at times, but nothing to bad. The writting is good, but even after two reads I'm still not a hundred percent on how 'the glow' works.
This was a great book. It is sad to see the series end, but I'm glad I no longer have to wonder if Scott will get the girl.
