Overview
- Oni Press announced a new one-shot titled Scott Pilgrim EX: Dawn of Metal Scott written and illustrated by Bryan Lee O’Malley, marking his first new Scott Pilgrim comic in 16 years.
- The issue is 24 pages long and contains a 16-page story that acts as a prequel to the Scott Pilgrim EX video game and formally introduces the antagonist Metal Scott.
- O’Malley said returning to Scott’s Toronto felt like coming home and he provided the main artwork and bonus extras that offer behind-the-scenes material on the project.
- Reports agree the comic will arrive in November but differ on the exact on-sale day, with outlets publishing two different November release dates; readers should check publisher or retailer listings for the confirmed date.
- The one-shot updates the franchise’s transmedia continuity by directly linking creator-driven comic material to the game’s new villain, a move that will shape fan discussions about what counts as Scott Pilgrim canon and may drive interest from players and collectors.
