Scott Pilgrim, Volume 5: Scott Pilgrim Vs. the Universe

Just as the story seems to be reaching its emotional peak, I'm stuck waiting a year for the final volume with everyone else. The last book ended on a positive note, but that seems to be a temporary high as things continue to go downhill this time. It's not really out and out tragic, it's just realistic in its depiction of how things can get screwed up pretty easily. It's not even anything Scott's doing wrong at the time, just stuff coming up and the realization that maybe things aren't as perfect as they'd like. The humor and fights against crazy evil people, this time including their robotic creations, are still entertaining, but they take a backseat to the character stuff that is really driving the story now. Um... I don't have a ton more to say. I really like this comic. I was a nervous wreck most of the time I was reading it. There's really no reason not to check it out yourself unless you have a violent allergic reaction to unusual art styles. It's gonna be a while, but the last volume has all the ingredients to be great.
