Revision as of 18:21, 13 July 2010
Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe is the most recent volume to date and features a shiny cover.
Plot
It opens on the 27th of September 2005, Scott Pilgrim's 24th birthday, then skips ahead to a Day of the Dead-themed party being thrown by Julie Powers in her new studio apartment. Ramona spots her next two evil ex-boyfriends, the twins Kyle and Ken Katayanagi. Scott approaches them and prepares to fight, but instead is forced to fight their robot, Robot-01. He defeats the robot and "wins the party".
November continues to show the deteriorating status of Scott and Ramona's relationship - they fall into a monotonous routine and Ramona is clearly becoming bored with him. She at one point tells Scott that she doesn't like his band, at which Scott is distressed.
Later, Sex Bob-omb prepares for a show at Sneaky Dee's, even though they haven't rehearsed in months due to Stephen Stills' persistent but fruitless recording. They go onstage and fail miserably (Stephen and Kim attempt to start out with entirely different songs due to Scott's absentmindedness). Meanwhile, Ramona encounters Knives in the bathroom, who tells her that Scott cheated on them at the same time. Ramona leaves to find Scott onstage battling another one of the twins' robots with his bass guitar, which he breaks in the process. On the way home, Scott admits that he forgot his keys and Ramona refuses to let him in for the night. He ends up staying with Wallace, who asks about the twins. Scott tells him that their last name is "Katamari," in reference to the videogame Katamari Damacy. Wallace reveals to Scott that he has found pictures of Gideon Graves, all of which are blurry or indistinct.
The next night, Scott stays on Kim's couch. The next day, he arranges a setup so that he can casually bump into Kim and Ramona while they get coffee. Ramona's head begins to glow, although it stops when Kim brings her in the bathroom to show her. They all attend Julie's party that night, and Scott is forced to fight yet another robot. Kim approaches Ramona on the balcony, and takes a picture with her camera phone of Ramona's head, which is yet again glowing. Kim and Ramona proceed to get drunk on Jose Cuervo tequila, and after defeating the robot, Scott joins them. Later, Kim takes the subway home, and is kidnapped by the twins. Ramona and Scott stumble home and have sex. Afterward, Ramona confronts Scott about cheating on Knives with her and tells him he is a bad person. They fight, and he falls asleep, only to wake up to a text message from Kim about her kidnapping. Scott arrives at a construction site to rescue Kim. During the fight, the twins explain that Ramona cheated on both of them with one another and mock his belief in her fidelity. Kim attempts to bolster Scott's morale whilst also attempting to draw his attention to herself, but failing. As he begins to lose the fight, Kim lies and says that Ramona text messaged her to give Scott encouragement. Scott is then able to defeat the twins simultaneously, racking up a massive bonus.
