    Playing through this game a few times only did one thing: inspire me to read books 1 - 6. It's the only graphics novel I've read outside of the Bone series back in the day. I must say, very funny stuff. Playing back through the game made sense this way too.

    @DryvBy: I saw the movie last night and now I can't wait for the game to come out on XBLA. I also want to get the graphic novels. Have you seen the movie yet?

    i would strongly encourage you to read any of the graphic novels with art by Ben Templesmith, such as Welcome to Hoxford, Wormwood: The Gentleman Corpse series, Groom Lake, etc.

    The books were very good, I only read the first three when I saw the movie, then promptly finished the last three after getting home. I've just been procrastinating on getting the game.

    More accurately, it's a series of six graphic novels.

    I've picked up all the graphic novels the day they have come out since volume 3.  You are so lucky now if you are buying them and not having to wait a year to a year and a half gap per volume.
     
    They are really good though and are probably one of my favorite graphic novels ever.

    The gap between 4 and 5 was two years. I couldn't have done that, I would have killed someone.

    I was always under the impression that a graphic novel was just a more sophisticated, i.e. pretentious, way of saying comic book.

    Maybe that is why it had a nifty foil cover when it finally came out.  I didn't even realize it was that long.
     
    I'm probably going to reread the whole thing in one sitting this weekend.

    I've been wanting to do that for awhile. It's a good way to spend 2hrs or so.

    I read the graphic novels in a week, and finished a couple days ago; good stuff. Now I really want to play the game.

    Nope. Comics are the thin little things that come out monthly. Graphic novels are not.

    @GetEveryone: Ha! Same here. I've been reading for years. I'm missing one book but I'm thinking about getting that huge book myself. I love it. Too bad they never finished the series via TellTale Games. (If you didn't know, they have Bone adventure games that are pretty accurate to the novel)

    I tore through the six volumes like the night after watching the movie.  
     
    I think I ended up enjoying the movie more thanks to the graphic novels -- there are a ton of winks and nods to the audience in the movie if you've read the books.  
     
    On that night, I would have hated having to wait years between volumes, especially with some of the cliffhangers in the books.  (Poor Scott...)

    They're pretty great, I'm going to re-read Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour (6th and final volume) again in a few minutes.
