Annotation:
23 year-old Scott has a dream about a girl, who he eventually finds. He goes on a date with her and must begin battling her seven evil ex-boyfriends. In this volume, he battles the first ex-boyfriend who has mystical powers.
Personal Reaction:
The black and white drawings are fairly standard issue for comics/graphic novels. The story, however, is much different. This book will be loved by anyone who loves video games. The book is filled with references to well-known video games. The love story makes the book different as well. Most books that cater towards video game players do not feature relationships as a key feature.
