Vs. The Universe


Oh man, i completely forgot that the new volume of Scott Pilgrim is coming out this week. Tuesday night at midnight there's gonna be a release party at Jim Hanley's Universe with author Bryan Lee O'Malley. Now i wouldn't normally go to something like this but my cousin's wedding is Tuesday night in Monsey so I'll be conveniently passing through the city around that time. You're all going to be hearing a lot more about Scott Pilgrim now that Michael Cera (George Michael Bluth) will be playing the title character in the upcoming Hollywood adaptation of the comic. But until then here's who the hell is scott pilgrim and why should i care. The comic is a great character story peppered with 90's video game references and indie rock influences. I'm pretty sure that the only person who'd want to join me there is Heshy and that's only because he's got the graveyard shift at the hospital so on his nights off he's all nocturnal-ish. But he also knows that when there are comics involved there's always the likelihood of an appearance by my good friend captain zorikh of The Death Star Repairmen. It's sure to be an interesting night. The new volume is called Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe so it's sure to expand significantly on the previous books (the universe being a vast place and all). Check it out.

Speaking of The Bluths, i always get a kick out of GOB's magic show:




Also saw this today. It's pretty funny.
