Description
The full-color remastering of the Scott Pilgrim epic continues! It's summertime, but who can relax? Scott's relationship with Ramona Flowers is sweeter than ever, but he's still got girl troubles, seven evil ex-boyfriends still want to kill him, and worst of all, now Ramona wants him to get a job! Kicks, punches, rock & roll, subspace, half-ninjas, experience points, samurai swords, girly action, and laughable attempts to seek gainful employment are all that stand in the way of Scott Pilgrim getting it together! Includes previously unpublished extras, deleted scenes, and exclusive bonus content, all in glorious color!
Media reviews
As part of an ongoing series, this volume isn’t as intriguing as some of the others, because its function is to do the job of getting from here to there.

Not as eventful as volume three, but still great. O'Malley's art is getting even better, and it's still hilarious, goofy and true.

Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together is the fourth volume in the Scott Pilgrim series. This volume sees Scott fighting Ramona's fourth evil ex, Roxie Richter, as well as the father of Scott's ex girlfriend, Knives Chau. We also find Scott and Wallace parting ways as roommates as Scott moves in with
Still, even with my issues with Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together, it is a solid graphic novel and better than a lot of things out there today. I'd definitely continue to recommend it to graphic novel and video game fans and feel like you should continue to slog through the series as it does get better again. Average book for the series, so I give it three stars.

Ramona. However, this fourth entry into the series is my least favorite so far. Scott and Ramona are absolutely insufferable at times. What really carries this volume is Stephen Stills, Kim and Wallace, in my opinion, as Scott and Ramona are just so annoying. It's usually hard for me to enjoy a title when I find myself not able to stand the main character, but the supporting characters are so well done and bring so much comic relief, it is easy for me to forgive the rest.Still, even with my issues with Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together, it is a solid graphic novel and better than a lot of things out there today.

The series is staying consistently good. I'm fine with the books coming out late if that's what is keeping the quality up.
There were a few laugh-out-loud moments ('sexy phase'). Unfortunately, I was reading on an airplane, returning home from Thanksgiving.

Oh man this book. LOVED IT. May change my mind and 5 star it. WHO KNOWS. The development is real nice, the relationship is so nice, and this book, I'll say it again because EVEN MORE than the other books: GOD IT'S FUNNY. Not just the "that's funny!" kind of funny either, it's the funny where I

I'm in the middle of this series and it just gets better. I cannot wait to finish -- and then hopefully buy myself some copies of the books. They're so much fun as well as being utterly hilarious (and very clever).

Scott gets a job! Scott is also being followed by ninjas, and finds himself confronted by a girlfriend from his past.
Things seem to be looking up for Scott... but are they really?
Another great installment to the series. I won't say much more, because I don't want to give spoilers, but for those who

I LOVED the movie and couldn't wait to read the graphic novels. BLM is a great artist. His dialogue is sometimes strained or awkward but it's quickly forgiven. I loved a lot of the back-story for the secondary characters that you didn't get to see much of in the film. I have to admit I was at times
I wish I could write a better review about the books themselves but in my mind I can't separate the cannon story from the film because I hearted it so much! I highly recommend these to anyone who feels the same.

impatient to complete each installment and felt the plot dragged occasionally, but I know that was mostly my own feeling because I knew the film better - a sort of parallel universe version, if you will.I wish I could write a better review about the books themselves but in my mind I can't separate the cannon story from the film because I hearted it so much!

** spoiler alert ** Out of all the evil exes, this book utilizes that conceit the least I think. Instead we have more of a threat from Knives's father, avenging his obsessed little girl. Sword fights are always fun, but Ramona becomes even more flaky. The potential for less Wallace Wells made me

Almost twice as thick as the first two volumes with greater panel density which gives us more story and better drama (and humor). "Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together" is the best so far in this series. Gotta love the Sonic the Hedgehog reference in the beginning.
LibraryThing member BenjaminHahn
Yes to story arcs! Scott gets a job, says the L-word, and doesn't get tempted into cheating on Ramona. I think my favorite character in this volume of Scott Pilgrim is Knives Chau's dad who is constantly chasing Scott around Toronto with a katana. He's a pretty kick-ass dad.
Next up, the twins.

The fourth installment in O'Malley's ongoing Scott Pilgrim comic book series. Though occasionally hard to follow, (O'Malley's female characters tend to blend together) these books are a hilarious depiction of a twenty-something slacker trying to make good. Scott is currently battling (literally) to

keep his girlfriend Ramona, an endeavor which requires the defeat of her 7 evil exes. Fortunately, the reedy bass player is a fighting champ! The books are best appreciated when viewed after the excellent film version, "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World," which adheres surprisingly closely to the books (watch for exact character postures and interpretations of subtle video-game gags.) A rare example of a perfect marriage between film and print. Show Less

I liked this volume better than the one before it. It wasn't as confusing. It made more sense. And while there's still a lot of characters around, I guess maybe I stopped worrying about most of them. Or maybe there were fewer in this one.The first few pages were in color, which was cool.I didn't

get the repeated joke with brains cracking open.I wondered how you could be in a subspace satchel while in subspace. But these are things I'm probably not meant to ponder while reading this.So I guess I can tell you the plot, if you're interested. This guy with swords if after Scott. And then there's a half-ninja after him as well. And his former girl-not-really-girlfriend comes back.And, yea, whatver. At least I only have 2 more volumes to read! Show Less

Quite possibly the best of the series, and coincidentally the book in which the title character, as the title says, begins to get it together. There is more character growth and development, not just for Scott but for the other characters as well. Lots of fun and another fine entry in a fine, fine

How cute is Scott Pilgrim? SO SO CUTE. Almost as cute as his various friends and acquaintances. My only nitpick about this series is that it's sometimes hard to tell characters apart.

Here we are with volume 4 of the Scott Pilgrim series. If you've seen the movie, you know this is where a great majority of the cuts to the story were made to adapt it. Roxy is really the only thing that stays because she's an Evil Ex. But there is so much good story in 4.

I just have to get this out of my system: hardly anything like the movie.
This book made me feel old. Old, old, old. So much of the non-ninja-fighting plot was so much like how life happened in my early twenties. But even as I was reading it and recognizing how familiar it was, I kept thinking,
Despite the dissonance, in this volume I loved those moments of familiarity. I also loved the "contents of Scott's pockets" and "contents of Scott and Wallace's shopping cart" frames, all of Scott's XP moments, and I continue to love Knives.
