Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997 – is proud to announce the forthcoming publication of SCOTT PILGRIM EX: DAWN OF METAL SCOTT #1 – a new, one-shot comic returning multiple Eisner Award winner Bryan Lee O'Malley to Scott Pilgrim for the first time since the best-selling series' conclusion ... with a brand-new prequel to the hit Scott Pilgrim EX video game! Featuring a cover byO’Malley, the new one-shot will feature the complete 16-page introduction of antagonist Metal Scott, alongside never-before-seen extras and a glimpse into O’Malley’s creative process when it arrives in stores on November 11th.
“When I was asked to create a minicomic for SCOTT PILGRIM EX, I quickly said yes without considering the implications,” said Bryan Lee O’Malley. “Only when I started writing and drawing it did I realize this would be the first new Scott Pilgrim comic in 16 years. It’s only a trifle, but returning to Scott’s Toronto really did feel like coming home.”
Scott met Ramona. Sparks flew. The two of them had to work together in order to defeat Ramona's Seven Evil Exes and their nefarious leader, Gideon Gordon Graves. Some other stuff happened in various media formats that may or may not be canon. That's all in the past. These days, Scott and Ramona are a happy couple, and the Exes have moved on from their unhealthy obsessions. I guess they all got therapy or whatever. Now, after a period of peace, a new threat is about to emerge. Are our heroes ready? Let's find out!!!
Debuting in 2004 with the publication of SCOTT PILGRIM'S PRECIOUS LITTLE LIFE, Bryan Lee O'Malley's Eisner Award-winning, New York Times best-selling SCOTT PILGRIM series has garnered universal acclaim as one of the 21st century's most successful and influential entries into the canon of graphic literature. Chronicling the adventures of 19-year-old Toronto native Scott Pilgrim as he meets the literal girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers, only to find himself battling a gauntlet of her seven evil exes, the series' runaway success across six graphic novel volumes paved the way for 2010's much acclaimed SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD feature film adaptation – directed by Edgar Wright and starring Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Brie Larson, Chris Evans, and many more – and 2023's SCOTT PILGRIM TAKES OFF! – the award-winning Netflix anime series that reunited the entirety of the feature film's original cast.
