The Original Series
The original Scott Pilgrim series consisted of graphic novels written by Bryan Lee O'Malley, an author and drawer of designs. It is a story about Scott Pilgrim, a young slacker and the bassist of the band Sex Bob-Omb, who immediately falls in love with Ramona Flowers.
Still, Scott must defeat seven of his villainous ancestors in a series of battles that blend glamorous video games with real-life drama to win her heart.
With art style, witty dialogues, and well-known characters, the graphic novels appealed to the general public due to art style. In 2010, a film adaptation was made, directed by Edgar Wright and starring Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim. The movie did not end in box office success, but it harnessed the energy of a cult following since it remained faithful to source material with new ways of looking at things.
