“Manic Pixie Dream Delivery” ITF Read: Scott Pilgrim (2004-2010 comic series)

Bryan Lee O’ Malley’s breakout comic series stars a slacker/loser
protagonist for the ages who simultaneously bumbles through life
and takes part in an epic genre-bending, form-blending,
4th-wall-breaking hero’s journey. In episode 172, Luke &
James discuss the intersection of problematic tropes, endearing
art, and legitimate life-lessons that evolve throughout the 6
issue run.

Issues covered:
1: Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life
2: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
3: Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness
4: Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together
5: Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe
6: Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour

And join them next week for Edgar Wright’s 2010 film adaptation
starring Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Chris Evans, Anna
Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, and Brie Larson!
