Genre: Graphic Novel
Awards: 2007 Harvey Award, 2010 Eisner Award
Review: Volume two is a look into Scott's past where he has ditched his high-school obsessed girlfriend, Knives Chau, and becomes enthralled with Ramona from her exotic New York origin and as a Amazon.com delivery person. The volume also touches on Scott joining a band, The Sex-BO-Ombs!, which are upcoming and destined to fail. The excitement lies in the 'cat fight' conclusion, where Knives and Ramona battle it out in the Toronto Public Library, which makes Scott appear to be an ideal- slacker heart throb.
Opinion: This was the first volume I read of this series that made me utterly obsessed. The manga like format and illustrations with a satirical interchange between characters makes this a superb crossover series for those who perceived manga as uncool, and those who are looking for a change from the fantasy.
Ideas: Purely for pleasure.
