GENRE: Graphic Novel
HONORS: 2007 Harvey Award, 2010 Eisner Award
REVIEW: This volume is significant because the reader gets to learn a little more about each character. In this volume, Scott actually gets a job, where he works as dishwasher for a vegetarian cafe. His situation becomes complicated when Scott moves in with Ramona, then gets kicked out cause she suspects he likes another girl friend, Lisa. In one night he loses his job and walks in on his gay roommate having sex. With no where else to go, Scott spends the night at Lisa's house, and later returns to Ramona's to confess his love, until he sees that Roxie spent the night. Scott's eyes flicker, but this sensation ends abruptly when he has to defeat Roxie and her twin, which were the next in line of evil ex-'boy'friends.
OPINION: Readers have learned to expect how the series will conclude, but compared to the others, this volume is the most climatic and has the greatest turn of events before the resolution. The presence of homosexuality is the most prominent here, as well as the fact that we learn Ramona's real age and reader's can come to their own conclusions about levels of maturity and the issues of various relationships. Highly recommended!!!
