Enjoyed this one possibly as much as I did the first volume. Scott had fewer total idiot moments (although confusing his brother [with a different last name] for Gideon does rank up there on the Idio-meter) and the full-volume conflict between Scott and the twins (and their robots) was adventurous.
I liked seeing Ramona & Kim interact more, and I wonder if the ending of the novels is going to be a lot different than the movie... I'm definitely sensing something that might happen, but I don't know if I'm just imagining it or not. Excited to see how it all ends in the next volume.
(Also, I think the extra content at the back of this volume ranks higher than most of the other bonus pages, except maybe the first volume)

There's a bit of a time jump in this volume but the same cast of characters is here, and my rating for this book is the highest out of the series so far because I'm finally warming to Scott and a few other interesting narratives are being explored to be concluded for the final volume.
The issue of Scott's cheating does come up and creates a rift between him and Ramona. I found it interesting that the glowing head effect, which has made an appearance in previous volumes, is now explicitly explored in the narrative, though it is still somewhat unclear what it actually indicates. Through context clues its probably an emotional trigger dealing with cheating or relationship drama, but this is a universe where fast travel wormholes and vegan superpowers exist so it could be something else.
It is nice to see the band get back together even though they suck. It is also funny to see Scott take a bit of a back seat fighting robots for most of the volume as Ramona and Kim drive their narratives forward. A big moment near the end will with Ramona provide a great setup for the final volume, though I won't spoil exactly what it is here.
A recommend obviously for those who have made it through volumes 1-4. Might as well keep going and finish off the last book as well.

I actually liked this book better than the last couple. There always comes a time where you get the reality check that you have deal with the fallout of the decisions you make in getting your life together in your 20s and I think that's what Scott Pilgrim and friends were discovering in this volume.
In conclusion:
1. Jazzed about the conclusion, book 6 (which we won't see for, what, like a year?)
2. Definitely on Team Kim. Does Team Kim even exist yet? If not, I am a trailblazer and/or trend setter. If so, can we talk about how awesome Kim is??
