In 2004, Oni Press surprised us all with a little digest sized book about a 23 year old bass player in Toronto, and now the Harry Potter-like fervor is kicked up again with the release of Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 5: Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe. But we’re no strangers to this Pilgrimage. If you’re curious, we’ve talked about O’Malley’s comic opus a great deal in the past, so for your convenience, here’s what we’ve got:
• Book of the Month: Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 5: Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe (spoilers).
• Spoiler free reviews of Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 5: Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe.
• iFanboy #74 “Scott Pilgrim” talking about volumes 1-4.
• Video Interview with Bryan Lee O’Malley from the 2008 Emerald City Comic Con (at 23:57).
• Ron’s early take on Scott Pilgrim, Vol.1: Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life from the audio show (at 30:06).
• Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 4: Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together is reviewed on the Pick of the Week Podcast #107 (at 49:03).
That should get you through your never ending hunger for Scott Pilgrim material. We’ll have a talk about the new book on the audio show very soon.

Celebrate the goodness!
You know there are some holidays that people just dont want to celebrate.
@TNC-If your life had a face I would punch it in the balls.
Happy Scott Pilgrim Day everyone!! Celebrate it by being a lazy good-for-nothing 20-something!!
@drakedangerz: Done and done! 🙂
I hold this to be the quintessential Canadian novel. In other words, fuck Margaret Atwood. No other work of fiction has better captured my own life experiences to date.
@drake: That’s a little harsh
All I did was comment on the unnessicary holiday of Biezputras Diena. I dont know why you want to punch me in the balls for that; I think we can all agree it’s a pointless holiday.
What was this article about again? Oh right Scott Pilgrim, I dont mind it being Scott Pilgrim Day.
@TNC-Just so you don’t go thinking I was being mean to you (today at least) I was actually just quoting a line from vol. 4. I don’t actually want to punch you, or your life, in the balls. I don’t want to go anywhere near them.
@drake: Yeah nobody wants that…..not even me (puts lock on)
i saw o’malley at the pit’s comic book club last night. total douche. very cocky. i hate cocky writers.
I’ve only read the first two volumes…need to catch up!
just saw the guy this morning at the signing. long line. its good though.
I was surprised by the shiny cover. It’s trippy. It looks great though. Can’t wait to read it.
The shiny cover is very nice isn’t it?
I wouldn’t know, Josh. They were sold out at my store. Only knew it was coming out last week and forgot to call to reserve. D’oh!! Alas, I have to wait one more week… Silver lining: This week I had 11 books…next week, probably like 2.
i read this and i was SO pumped to get the ONLY copy in my store. i devoured this and hten read all of them in order. i love the shiny cover
I got to the store right when it opened, and already 3 people were buying it, AND ONLY IT!!! My store typically doesn’t suffer from selling out right away though, so I was cool.
Woah, shiny!!! In my comic shop, there was one of these left on the rack next to a stack of about a hundred untouched secret warriors. Yes!!!!
ALso, listning to the old podcast, and hearing Josh mention Top Ten. I know you talked about it briefly on the Alan Moore show, and Smax was in a vault ep, but will their be a top ten ep? Or an ABC ep? Also, has/will top ten be collected in Absolute? God, that would be great!
I guess there could be an ABC show some day, but it’s probably unlikely. We did an Alan Moore show early on, and we’ve talked about a bunch of them at one point or another, but I never say never. Maybe an Alan Moore part 2 show will get done someday.
I don’t think there was an Absolute Top 10. There was one for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Three actually…
@ Drake– I was catching up on Vols 3 and 4 and when Kim goes "I would punch your life in the face" I sat that there and went "This is the greatest line in the history of anything."
I know about the absolute league, as volume two is sitting happily on my shelf…
