Oni Press. Good. 5 x 0.7 x 7.5 inches. Paperback. 2007. 216 pages. <br>That's right, folks! Put down the video game contr oller! Skip that rehearsal for your band! Make whatever sacrifice s you must to those comic gods you hold so dear! Just make sure y ou're ready because Bryan Lee O'Malley and SCOTT PILGRIM are back ! Well, a couple months have passed since the last time we caught up with our intrepid hero, but what can change in a few short mo nths? Well, not much has... Scott's still living with his roommat e Wallace Wells. He's still playing in a mediocre rock band named Sex Bob-omb. And most importantly, he's still dating the lovely Ramona Flowers while working his way through the gaggle of superp owered, superstylish, superevil ex-boyfriends determined to take him down. But something is different. Don't look now, but Scott P ilgrim may actually be getting it together. And it's a good thing , too, because Scott is about to confront Ramona's most intimidat ing ex yet! Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Starred Re view. After three volumes of hilarious slacking--a jobless trek o f playing in a band, wobbling between romantic entanglements and battling the seven evil ex-boyfriends of his current girlfriend, Ramona Flowers--Scott Pilgrim must finally make choices. Does he truly love mysterious messenger Ramona? Will his band SexBobOmb p lay out? Can he pay the rent? Can he keep a job? And why is be be ing followed by two ninjas? O'Malley's manga-tinged youth comedy has gotten more confident as the series has become a veritable in stitution, with an eight-page color section to open this volume, but the story, too, reveals new layers of character. This time ou t the main complication in Scott's life is Julie, a high school m ight-have-been-girlfriend. Cute Julie keeps showering him with at tention, forcing him to deal with his feelings for Ramona, who al so has a visitor from her past. The references from indie band lo re, video games and manga keep the story sharp, while the occasio nal fight scenes--Scott must face two opponents at once!--are per fect metaphors for the uncertainty and excitement of being an ear ly 20-something. O'Malley's sparkling dialogue captures the brava do, insensitivity and engaging cluelessness of a generation for w hom a dishwashing job constitutes getting it together big time. ( Nov.) Copyright ?

Gibbs Smith, 08/01/89 12:00 AM. Paperback. Very Good. 0879051620 From Publishers Weekly This omnibus essentially accedes to the romantic notion that the American West connotes adventure, men and women with untamed passions and nature at its starkest. Although the Thomases (he co-edited Sudden Fiction ; she is a freelance writer) claim to have culled the 17 stories from 175 publications, nearly a third are from eminent national magazines such as the Atlantic . These particular entries are so superior as to produce a lopsided collection, a backward salute to the glory of already celebrated authors like Jim Harrison. Next to the measured poetics of Louise Erdrich, the belabored, workshop-style prose that afflicts many pieces is especially infelicitous: "Emily wept, but her tears froze cold as penny nails and her upper lip seemed candlewaxed by her nose." Compared with Rick Bass's "Choteau," a tough-minded portrait of a rough-and-tumble man facing middle age, other protagonists are drawn sentimentally, like Olive Ghiselin's elderly woman who sets out "to make a brew that would preserve her from the teeth and claws of time." Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Like its predecessor The Best of the West (1988), this is an anthology of serious contemporary fiction , mostly on the "new" West, by such writers as Louise Erdrich, Rick Bass, William Kittredge, and Jim Harrison. The stories, all published in 1988, originally appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, Quarterly West, and other magazines.-- MR Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc., Gibbs Smith, 08/01/89 12:00 AM, 3, Pocket Books.

Gibbs Smith, 08/01/89 12:00 AM. Paperback. Very Good. 0879051620 From Publishers Weekly This omnibus essentially accedes to the romantic notion that the American West connotes adventure, men and women with untamed passions and nature at its starkest. Although the Thomases (he co-edited Sudden Fiction ; she is a freelance writer) claim to have culled the 17 stories from 175 publications, nearly a third are from eminent national magazines such as the Atlantic . These particular entries are so superior as to produce a lopsided collection, a backward salute to the glory of already celebrated authors like Jim Harrison. Next to the measured poetics of Louise Erdrich, the belabored, workshop-style prose that afflicts many pieces is especially infelicitous: "Emily wept, but her tears froze cold as penny nails and her upper lip seemed candlewaxed by her nose." Compared with Rick Bass's "Choteau," a tough-minded portrait of a rough-and-tumble man facing middle age, other protagonists are drawn sentimentally, like Olive Ghiselin's elderly woman who sets out "to make a brew that would preserve her from the teeth and claws of time." Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Like its predecessor The Best of the West (1988), this is an anthology of serious contemporary fiction , mostly on the "new" West, by such writers as Louise Erdrich, Rick Bass, William Kittredge, and Jim Harrison. The stories, all published in 1988, originally appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, Quarterly West, and other magazines.-- MR Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc., Gibbs Smith, 08/01/89 12:00 AM, 3, Pocket Books.
