The Scott Pilgrim franchise is hitting a major milestone in 2024, as Oni Press and creator Bryan Lee O’Malley celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original Scott Pilgrim graphic novel. To mark the occasion, Oni will be releasing new box sets of the series featuring remastered artwork and new bonuses for hardcore fans.
The Scott Pilgrim 20th Anniversary Box Set will be released in both color and black and white editions. Check out the slideshow gallery below to see O’Malley’s new artwork for the sets, along with some killer new Scott Pilgrim-themed posters included in the package:
Both 20th Anniversary Box Sets will be released in August 2024, 20 years after the release of Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life. These sets will include all six volumes in the series, featuring brand-new cover art by O’Malley and packaged inside a slipcase that also features new art. The sets also come with a new seventh volume called Scott Pilgrim: Collected Extras, featuring process art, behind-the-scenes material and commentary from O’Malley. Physical extras include sticker sheets, a Sex Bob-Omb concert poster and a holofoil art print featuring Scott, Ramona Flowers and Gideon Graves.
“We’ve all been working hard on these box sets, which I think are such a complicated project and interesting challenge,” said O’Malley in a statement. “It’s been fun working with the legend Patrick Crotty and my buddy Nathan Fairbairn, and the folks at Oni Press are doing a great job. I hope everyone likes the end results!”
“This box set is an experience from top to bottom, inside and out,” said Oni’s Editor-in-Chief Sierra Hahn. “Bryan and Patrick have created something that faithfully honors Scott Pilgrim fans as well anyone who loves exceptional, fun storytelling and is obsessive about graphic design. I can’t wait for readers, new and old, to behold this incredible tome this summer!”
Oni is teasing other upcoming releases tied to Scott Pilgrim’s 20th anniversary, including the Scott Pilgrim 20th Anniversary Print Portfolio (featuring both classic and new artwork) and the Scott Pilgrim 20th Anniversary Coloring Book. Fans can look forward to more announcements later in 2024.
In other Scott Pilgrim news, Netflix recently debuted the animated series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, featuring the voices of the Scott Pilgrim movie cast.
In his review of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, IGN’s Erik Adams wrote, “The sooner you watch Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, the less time you’ll spend worrying about spoilers, and the sooner you’ll get to enjoy a breathtaking reimagining of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novels. Even with the core cast of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World along for the ride, it’s no mere exercise in nostalgia, but a fresh coat of paint on a versatile coming-of-age story, whose vibrant animation and expanded scope bring new dimensions to the garage rockers, video-store clerks, ninja-couriers, and evil exes who inhabit ‘Toronto, Canada – Not Too Long Ago.’”
Find out why Scott Pilgrim Takes Off’s ending cements it as one of the best animated adaptations ever.
