Publisher Description
The last installment in the brilliant ‘Scott Pilgrim’ graphic novel series from Bryan Lee O’Malley, writer of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off – now a major Netflix series.
It's finally here! Six years and almost 1000 pages have all led to this epic finale! With six of Ramona's seven evil exes dispatched, it should be time for Scott Pilgrim to face Gideon Graves, the biggest and baddest of her former beaus. But didn't Ramona take off at the end of Volume 5? Shouldn't that let Scott off the hook? Maybe it should, maybe it shouldn't, but one thing is for certain: all of this has been building to Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour!
Reviews
"Scott Pilgrim is the best book ever. It is the chronicle of our time. With Kung Fu, so, yeah: perfect." Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
"One of the best things to happen to printed comics this millennium." Ain't It Cool News
"A hilarious, idiosyncratic gem." Washington Post
"A great oddball tale that captures the energy of a generation." Publishers Weekly
"An inventive, genre-tweaking tale of young love, platonic bed-sharing and epic battles unlike anything else you will likely pick up. So, go on, pick it up." E! Online
"Scott Pilgrim is the best 23-year-old ever. Like Proust's Swann, he has a story that takes multiple volumes to unfold, except Pilgrim is even more awesome because he's in a comic book … the series is wildly enjoyable for its absurdist humor, its indelible characters and its growing, inevitable sense of melancholy as Pilgrim becomes that most terrifying of things: 24 years old." Glen David Gold, author of Carter Beats the Devil and Sunnyside

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Can an irresponsible slacker find love and become a man along the way? That's been the six-volume question behind the witty and wise Scott Pilgrim series. In the fifth book, Scott's love, Ramona, walked out on him due to her own confessed weaknesses, while Scott wrestled with newfound contentment. O'Malley's final volume has some of his trademark humor, but it's a much darker and more serious look at the battle of love. Alone, Scott goes on a journey of atonement with his previous girlfriends and is shocked to learn that some of them have moved on without him. The final evil ex, Gideon Graves turns out to be a manipulative and shallow version of what Scott himself would become if his selfish nature were to take over. Their climactic battle is allowed to play out at length, with video game references galore. O'Malley's cartooning skills have advanced enough since the first volume to make this a bravura visual experience. Although fans of the series will find this a satisfying conclusion, the nature of the true relationship between Scott, Ramona, and Gideon is perhaps glossed over a bit the only complaint in an otherwise triumphant finale.
