Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
The blend of reality and fantasy in these books is something new under the sun. It makes me think a little of the mindbending The Adventures Pete and Pete on Nickelodeon, but taken to a new and specific level. Something very powerful is going to come out of this. It's a new genre of fiction, I think -- no really.
