Hola, esto es Clicks Modernos.

If you’re male and you like Twilight, you’re gay. I don’t mean that in the derogatory sense, I mean it in the “you want to put your testicles against another man’s testicles while gripping handfuls of chesthair” kind of way.

The world of Scott Pilgrim doesn’t happen inside a video game, it happens inside the head of someone who is often lost and filters his reality through pop culture. When he feels inadequate he retreats to a world where he is a hero and fights his way to victory. He’s not the healthiest person, and he’s not the most mature, but he’s certainly relatable for way too many of us.

Scott Pilgrim isn’t your standard superhero fare, your grim-and-gritty high-concept book, or even your high-brow indie autobio-comic. It’s a love story, yes, it’s an action story, yes, it’s a six-book homage to ennui and dreams and the best damn video games of our generation. There’s no capes-and-tights or epic muscles, it’s a cartoon adventure that evokes some of the slickest mangaka with hipster pop culture. It may not be for everyone, but it is a book that demands a read. It’s structurally a rock-solid story-arc - an achievement in and of itself, considering the six books have been six years in the making - and to be honest, this is a hero who can do anything. He’s a rock star. A romantic. A fighter. A last bastion of the all-powerful L-Word - and I’m not talking about lesbians.
