SCOTT PILGRIMAGE
This week marks the release of the final volume in the Scott Pilgrim comix era, with a busy burst of events in Toronto being orchestrated by The Beguiling... followed by a massive SP marketing explosion at SDCC leading into the Edgar Wright film release next month. It's sorta insane.
Turns out that two EAZB crew members got tapped to create works for all this crazy business.- Michael DeForge created the Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour release party poster, which will feature Bryan Lee O'Malley and a whole street (surrounding The Beguiling) in Toronto hosting related events. DeForge will be at the event signing posters, I hear
- Hellen Jo was tapped to create one of four "gig posters" as part of an official limited edition Scott Pilgrim four-color silkscreen for sale at SDCC. Full details here.
I hope (assume?) both prints will be available afterward via ppl's respective sites?
PS: Did I mention that my sorta boneheaded local comic shop started selling copies of Scott Pilgrim last week before the official release date? I snagged a copy before Oni got wind of it and SHUT 'EM DOWN. (!!!)
