Six years, five volumes, and 1,000 pages. Now the long anticipated finale to Bryan Lee OMalleys hit Oni Press graphic novel series has finally arrived. On Tuesday, July 20th, 2010 comic shops and bookstores across North America will celebrate the release of SCOTT PILGRIM VOL. 6: SCOTT PILGRIMS FINEST HOUR.
Its been quite a ride, and I couldnt have gotten here without the support of the fans and the retailers, said OMalley. It feels great to be in the home stretch, and I think this is going to be the best Scott Pilgrim book ever!
Bryan Lee OMalley and the SCOTT PILGRIM series have both been honored with multiple awards including the Harvey, Doug Wright, Joe Shuster, and National Cartoonists Society Reuben awards, in addition to being named Entertainment Weekly and Wizard Magazines Independent Comic of the Year. Series Editor and Oni Press Editor-in-Chief James Lucas Jones gave additional praise to OMalley, its been an honor working with Bryan over the years. Hes got such a unique voice and Ive been fortunate to witness him develop a style unlike anyone working in the industry today; a style that I feel will influence many future generations of comic professionals. Im so proud that Oni has been a part of that.
Oni Press will be rolling out a series of event announcements in the weeks and months leading up to the release, including Bryan Lee OMalley signings at this years sold out San Diego Comic Con. Oni Press Publisher Joe Nozemack said about the works, Im convinced that Scott Pilgrim will go down as one of those series that changed comics forever. When Im out and see someone wearing a Scott Pilgrim t-shirt or sitting in a cafe reading one of the books, I get so excited about comics entering the mainstream and to know that Oni Press books are helping lead the way, its an indescribable feeling. I cant wait to see the reaction to the final volume!
