Jack Conte makes amazing, amazing music, and has used the internet to get it out to adoring masses such as me.

This guy is a genius when it comes to impressions; check out his Han Solo:

Book 5 (“Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe”) just came out*, and though I got home late last night when I saw that Amazon pre-ordered package waiting for me in my room, I knew I’d be reading the whole darn thing that night. I ripped open the package and -gasp!- this volume was unlike any of the previous ones. It was, well, shiny. The cover has this iridescent metallic finish on it, and that, combined with O’Malley’s art (much of which has been my laptop wallpaper over the past few years), made me sort of want to frame it. To be sure, the Scott Pilgrim books are all easy reads, but these graphic novels are so funny each volume leaves you pining for the next one. The characters are fun and feel like friends you might have, the plot is ridiculous and yet somehow believable due to the lovableness of the characters, and the geeky gamer and music nerd jokes are plentiful. I won’t give up any of the plot, but if that last sentence appealed to you, I would recommend the series.

*Technically, this book comes out February 18th, but if your preorder things on Amazon (like moi) sometimes you get them a few days early and get to write a preview in your blog. Win!
