Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Boxset by Bryan Lee O'Malley

A witty, pop-culture-infused graphic fiction collection follows a twenty-something slacker and bassist in Toronto who falls for a mysterious newcomer and discovers that winning her heart means confronting her seven “evil exes” in surreal, video-game-style battles; as the fights escalate, the story balances comedic action with honest portrayals of friendship, heartbreak, and the awkward, often messy process of growing up and taking responsibility for past mistakes.
