Also, the art would range from nice to crappy, almost from panel to panel. It was like I could totally see where O’Malley was taking time and care one minute and then rushing through the next. Overall, there was just never any consistency for me to grab hold of, whether it be tone or presentation. Most importantly, I didn’t buy the “relationship” between Scott and Ramona. It felt too contrived and shallow, not to mention how quickly it moved. “Hey, you’ve been LITERALLY rollerblading through my dreams!” “Yeah, it’s totally awesome and quirky, right? Let’s go to my house, get caught in a snow storm and then get in to bed together!”

Having said all that, I am actually looking forward to the movie adaptation, because I trust that Edgar Wright can and will make some semblance of all this and present it to me in a fun, energetic and satisfying way that goes down much smoother than this self-indulgent mess.
