Newsarama Note: WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO. And now, the Press Release:
ONI PRESS & BRYAN LEE O’MALLEY READY FOR HIS FINEST HOUR
Six years, five volumes, and 1,000 pages. Now the long anticipated
finale to Bryan Lee O’Malley’s 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 PILGRIM’S FINEST HOUR.
“It’s been quite a ride, and I couldn’t have gotten here without the
support of the fans and the retailers,” said O’Malley. “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 O’Malley 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 Magazine’s Independent Comic
of the Year. Series Editor and Oni Press Editor-in-Chief James Lucas
Jones gave additional praise to O’Malley, “it’s been an honor working
with Bryan over the years. He’s got such a unique voice and I’ve 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. I’m 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 O’Malley
signings at this year’s sold out San Diego Comic Con. Oni Press
Publisher Joe Nozemack said about the works, “I’m convinced that Scott
Pilgrim will go down as one of those series that changed comics forever.
When I’m 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, it’s an indescribable feeling. I can’t wait to
see the reaction to the final volume!”
Bryan Lee O’Malley’s SCOTT PILGRIM VOL. 6: SCOTT PILGRIM’S FINEST
HOUR, is published by Oni Press and features 248 pages of evil-ex
butt-kicking in the easily digestible digest format for the low, low
price of $11.99. Available at your local comic shop or bookstore
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010.
