Reddit reviews Scott Pilgrim Precious Little Box Set

> I think Michael Bay was quoted somewhere saying he made movies more geared to teenage boys.

First off, let me state that I really don't care what people watch. I look at Michael Bay films as safely constructed roller coasters. As seen here the man has learned what bumps, twists, and turns he can use to engage an audience without challenging it. He reuses scenes and ideas in a way that no one ever notices and I think is a brilliant(if nihilistic) way to see guaranteed money.

Now, let me explain why I hate the, "I make movies for teenage boys" defense. It is completely dismissive of all the great art that has been made for adolescents. Seriously, most people don't stop and think about this, but there is some pretty incredible stuff out there. Here is a small list of some of the amazing work made for children and teens:



The Red Balloon

The Works of Winsor Mccay

Calvin and Hobbes

Looney Tunes

Princess Mononoke

Star Wars

The Horror Films Starring Vincent Price

Scott Pilgrim

Fullmetal Alchemist


People use the quote you supplied as a get out of jail free card for valid criticism and it drives me nuts. Like what ever you feel like, but don't be dismissive of discussion because of a pointless quote.

I don't read a lot of action-y graphic novels, so I can't really help you with finding more stuff like Watchmen, Wanted, etc. (However, you have to promise me you'll read Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.)

But I can recommend more laid-back graphic novels if you're ever in the mood for something different! Give American Born Chinese, Anya's Ghost, or Daytripper a shot sometime.

Persepolis and Maus are also graphic novel must reads, no matter what genre you usually favor. And Scott Pilgrim was super popular recently, with great cause.

And, if you're willing to settle down for a long haul and read your comics backwards, I really can't recommend Fullmetal Alchemist enough. 27 volumes, but it's the best action series I've ever read and one of my all-time favorites of any sort of media. Check out a stack of it from the library and you'll fly right through it. That's what I did one afternoon, and my time has never been better spent.

Edit: More suggestions, typos.

Here you go: Scott Pilgrim Boxset

Because if you’re not buying them all at once, then what the hell are you doing with your life?

It's a limited series, so the story is already finished. It was 6 volumes, 6 books, total. The movie was named after the 2nd book even though it adapts the whole series.

Here is a link to the complete boxset.

Scott Pilgrim isn't a TV show actually, (although I wish it was) but a graphic novel series. There's also a not so good movie. If you grew up in the 90's, you might like it. Many classic videogame references and the overall style of the comic just oozes the 90's hipness.

Here's a link to the box set if you wanna check it out.

Don't worry about "getting into it" at all. I was looking into reading Marvel comics and apparently there are like hundreds within a certain story-line, but Scott Pilgrim is just 6 books and very digestable. I got a boxset with all 6 one Christmas and that's it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scott-Pilgrims-Precious-Little-Boxset/dp/1934964573/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421709727&sr=8-1&keywords=scot+pilgrim for an Amazon link. It's pretty cheap as well. I think there is a colour version available, but I didn't see it listed, might be a region thing - whatever. Enjoy! If I left something obvious out just tell me and I'd be glad to help!

The Garden of Words is another good oneshot I recommend. It also has a movie, both of which I found to be enjoyable. Unfortunately I don't have any other recommendations that are under 5 volumes in length but these are ones that I would recommend.

The Evangelion Omnibus has 5 mega volumes out and is finished (about $100 plus tax) - 14 total volumes. Claymore is quite a bit longer but it has a box set of all 27 volumes for about $140 (~5$ each volume) and it seems right in line with your interests, just shop around for the best price online.

If you're into rom-coms then:

• Monster Musume has 8 volumes out and is ongoing (slow releases; next release is in september)
  
  
• Ninja Girls has 9 volumes out and is finished.
  
  
• Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches has 8 volumes out and is ongoing.
  
  While not manga, Bryan Lee O'Malley has Scott Pilgrim (6 volumes) and Seconds (one shot) - both of which I highly recommend.

You should get the box set! They're black and white graphic novels.

Well, the joke is clear but the reference is cryptic if one has not seen the move. (For those who haven't, we're talking about the excellent movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," with Michael Cera, Alison Pill, Anna Kendrick, and others: hugely entertaining (to me, YMMV). Based on the graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley.)

Worth watching.

I hope this is right :)

• $0-5 -Calbee Shrimp Flavored Chips (Surprisingly delicious)
  
  
• $5-10 Watchmen Blu-Ray (One of the best movies to get your Blu-Ray collection started)
  
  
• $10-20 Community Troy and Abed Mug (Awesome Merch for the Community Fan)

Sweet. I might just buy the boxed set, but these are in black and white, correct?

http://www.amazon.com/Scott-Pilgrims-Precious-Little-Boxset/dp/1934964573/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header

It comes with the box set of the paperback copies

Scott Pilgrims Precious Little Boxset https://www.amazon.com/dp/1934964573/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rBaoxbXE4D60N

Is this the Scott Pilgrim boxset you were mentioning?

If so, that comes out to around 25 pounds with free shipping over here.

xkcd.com is fantastic, and one of the first comics I ever started reading.

Scott Pilgrim is a great series. Fables is fun. The Sandman series is incredible (I love both Neil Gaiman and the gorgeous artwork), Blankets is good, French Milk is one of my favorites, anything by Liz Prince is hilarious/very true-to-life, but my all-time, end-all be-all favorite is Local

PS: I told my husband, who initially got me interested in comics, about this /r/askreddit/ post and he said, "well, is it a boy or a girl asking?" I don't know the answer to that, but just FYI - I'm a lady and some of these choices may be too girly for you if you're a dude.

I suggest you get the books here --> http://www.amazon.com/Scott-Pilgrims-Precious-Little-Boxset/dp/1934964573/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345992113&sr=8-1&keywords=scott+pilgrim

And you could get some shirts here --> http://www.redbubble.com/explore/scott+pilgrim

Wow I have a ton of awesome recommendations, but first and foremost is the Sandman saga by Neil Gaiman or really anything distributed under Vertigo, they publish all DC comic's darker novels...

Also Watchmen, a classic by Alan Moore...

Johnny The Homicidal Maniac (JTHM) by Johnen Vasquez

Blankets by Craig Thompson...

Scott Pilgrim series...

Fahrenheit 451 graphic novel adaptation...

if you want a simple but really good story try 'the killing joke' by alan moore. That comic is pretty much universally loved and alan moore is a complete genius. Another amazing piece by Alan Moore is watchmen. (im sure youve heard of it or seen the movie, if not, what?) but it is amazingly written and illustrated. Those are both dc. if you want something not marvel or DC i would highly recommend the walking dead. if your interested dont get the single issues are anything. get the compendium because it is more bang for your buck. compendium is 60 in stores and 35 on amazon.

another really fun and well put together series is scott pilgram. there are 6 volumes that range around 10 dollars each for the paper back. altogether a great story. the art work isnt my favorite but it is a little better in the colored version AKA the hard cover version. if you saw the movie and thought "meh it wasnt the best so i wont read the comics." 1) the movie is freaking great and 2) the movie doesnt really follow the books considering that volume 6 was written after the movie was made.

But yeah those are my thoughts. i could go into alot more but the ones i gave are quite a lot!! hope this is helpful!!

if its too much, the black and white editions are good too, you can get all six for about £20

the coloured editions are great and all the little trivia, character designs and the extra comics at the back of some are great but the b&w are still a great way to experience it

edit: here's a link

p.s also if you're going for coloured the colour hardback is (in my opinion the best way) its more but its worth it

It came in Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Boxset

so get six volumes for forty dollars total

I'm reading

• The Story of Philosophy, which is great is you dig philosophy.
  
• I'm just finishing up The Pursuit of God, which if you are a Christian dude, it's a great read (along with Praying for Strangers)
  
• Sitka is a Louis L'Amour western, but with sea-faring, some nasty russians, and the grand Alaskan frontier
  
• I re-read the first Scott Pilgrim book, which appeals to my inner 9-year old! (Read the whole set years ago, only own the first one, comes super recommended)
  
• The God of Small Things is pretty interesting so far, I'm about 4 chapters in it so far.
  
  There's more books on my list, so here are some honorable mentions:
  
  
• The book that The Edge of Tomorrow was based on is All You Need is Kill, which having been interested in the movie, I could be persuaded into reading.
  
• A friend recommended The Man With the Clubfoot, with is an early 20th century Film Noir type book. I'm excited to read it after finishing The Big O, because this dude can totally dig some Noir type stuff right about now.
  
• It scares the crap out of me, but with politics these days I'm growing more convinced that knowing history is important to understanding today, so I thought about reading The Complete Story of Civilization, which is an 11 volume set that's supposed to cover everything.
  
  And because this post will never, ever be seen; I'm going to end with a limerick:
  
  > A certain young fellow named Bee-Bee
  
  > Wished to wed a woman named Phoebe.
  
  > "But," he said, "I must see
  
  > What the clerical fee
  
  > Be before Phoebe be Phoebe Bee-Bee
