It ’s been a semisweet calendar month for Scott Pilgrim rooter . On one hand , the movie and 6th pictorial novel finally debut . On the other hand , this means no more SP yarns ever . Here are five titles that will ease the pain .
Here are quintuplet comedian ( in no particular edict ) that reflect the Scott Pilgrim esthetic — that is , disaffected vernal citizenry in totally inexplicable supernatural and scifi post .
1 . ) Runaways ( Marvel )
Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona ’s acclaimed serial publication is about a group of teenagers who discover that their parents are supervillains who run Los Angeles . Runaways was the only long - running title of respect to spin around out of Marvel ’s manga - influenced Tsunami imprint — it ’s steep in Marvel Universe secret ( i.e. , one of the fiber is the “ Logos ” of a classic Avengers villain ; another squad member is a Skrull ) but never gets too bogged down by it . The agonist are restless with being self - appointed superheroes and — more often that not — have no idea what the netherworld they ’re doing . This DIY coming to superheroing give the title much of its charm . For example , the shoo-in ’ encounters with the Punisher and Wolverine ended with halfway - school mutant powerhouse Molly Hayes kicking the bejeezus out of the anti - sub . Vaughan penned the first two volumes of the book of account ( it really finds its tread in the 2d bulk ) . After a issue of creative script - offs between Joss Whedon , Terry Moore , and Kathryn Immonen , the rule book is presently on severance .
2 . ) Suburban Glamour ( Image )
Jamie McKelvie ’s 2008 miniseries follows Astrid Johnson , a hip gallon from a dumb Scots town who suddenly becomes the magnet for all manner of nasty faerie weirdness . McKelvie ’s clean pencil really make this serial publication pop . For more Scripture about being untried and dense in a magical Britannia , check out Mike Carey ’s graphic novel God Save the Queen and Kieron Gillen ’s mages - going - clubbing miniseries Phonogram , which McKelvie work on as well .
3 . ) Zero Girl ( Homage )
Sam Keith ’s news report of Amy Smooster , a in high spirits - schooltime loner who essay to court her direction counselor , is chock full of paranormal geometry ( circle are skillful , square are malefic ) and altogether dreamlike plot of ground points ( the heroine secretes a occult , habit-forming goo from her pes ) . Growing up is judgment - bogglingly weird , and Keith ’s plot and pencil convey this reality with assuredness .
4 . ) Street Angel ( Slave Labor Graphics )
Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca ’s 2004 miniseries follows Jesse Sanchez , a homeless skateboarding superkid who must fend for Wilkesborough from the apprehension forces of ninjas , metre - traveling conquistadors , and other marauding paranormal nasties . The natural action = quick and in your boldness ; the explanation as to why any of this is going down = scant . Street Angel take in the reader on drive through law-breaking - fighting lunacy , and you have no choice but to oblige .
5 . ) Love and Rockets ( Fantagraphics )
Jaime Hernandez ’s early Love and Rocket narration had a warm scifi bow to them . Punky serial publication star Maggie Chascarrillo works as a “ pro - solar auto-mechanic ” for the dashing Rand Race . Later L&R stories would jettison the colossus and robot of these original fib , but these initial raid into scifi strongly resemble the unexplained outlandishness of Pilgrimverse . Love and Rockets is utterly voluminous , but the “ Maggie the Mechanic ” arcs are luckily at the very beginning .
