Start with Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life and read Bryan Lee O'Malley's six original graphic novels in order. If you came from Edgar Wright's 2010 movie, the books have room for jokes that work especially well on paper, from playable guitar chords to the fight in a Toronto discount store. The three Color Collection paperbacks pair Books 1 and 2, then 3 and 4, then 5 and 6. You can use either numbering to follow the same story.

Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life
Comic
Book 1. Start here for Scott's band, Ramona Flowers, and the first evil ex. O'Malley prints playable chords alongside a song, turning the page into an invitation to join in. The movie can let you hear Sex Bob-omb. The comic hands you something you can play yourself.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Book 2. This one shares its title with the movie, but it's only the next chapter. Between flashbacks to Scott and Kim Pine's school days and the arrival of Lucas Lee, the comic pauses to show you how to make vegan shepherd's pie. You can read the detour as a joke or take it into the kitchen.

Scott Pilgrim & the Infinite Sadness

Scott Pilgrim & the Infinite Sadness
Comic
Book 3. The movie keeps Scott's bass battle with Todd Ingram. On the page there's another fight at Honest Ed's, the cavernous Toronto discount store. Read this volume for the way O'Malley turns the chaos of a real shop into a whole level for Scott to get through.

Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together

Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together
Comic
Book 4. An old friend, Lisa Miller, turns up just as Scott is trying to find a job and keep things steady with Ramona. The job hunt is its own comic ordeal. If the movie's final sword fight felt familiar, look for some of its shape in Scott's fight with Roxy here.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe

Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe
Comic
Book 5. At one of Julie's parties, the Katayanagi twins send a robot into the room. The party more or less carries on around the fight, which makes it feel like one more obstacle in an already bad night out. The movie turns the encounter with the twins into a sonic showdown with Sex Bob-omb.

Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour

Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour
Comic
Book 6. The movie wrings a brunch joke out of Nega-Scott. The last book spends longer with Scott's double and the past he'd like to forget. Read it after vs. the Universe to see how a familiar video game gag becomes a way of taking stock before the finale.
