Proper writeup coming later, but I picked up the first volume of Scott Pilgrim on a whim (based mostly off the extremely positive attention the release of Volume 2 brought about in the weekly comics thread) and I absolutely love it. At first you're like, "oh, it's just a cute light-hearted love triangle story with various video game references tossed in" but as it progresses you realize it's so much more.
Look, here's how awesome it is. I bought it, read it, and my friend came over. I was doing something, so I told him just to read the first few pages. He ended up reading the entire thing. More people come over and the book is passed around, with two others reading it and thoroughly enjoying it before the night is out. And these folks don't even read comics to begin with.
Since then, three others have given the book a run-through and they all come away singing its praises. If you've got some spare cash laying around, hit up your local comic book shop and see if they've got this baby sitting on their shelves:
