Oni Press Releasing Scott Pilgrim Volume 1 Evil Edition

Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life is just that: precious. So precious in fact that it deserves to be remastered and relettered in color. What if that's not enough though? What if Scott Pilgrim fans want more? What about an evil edition? A nega-edition if you will? On July 11, Oni Press will unveil the Evil Edition and Collector's Edition of Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life.

“As much as Scott Pilgrim fans eagerly anticipated the new extras-packed COLOR EDITION books, we knew some would be craving more,” explained Oni Press Operations Director George Rohac. “With the EVIL EDITION and COLLECTOR’S EDITION of the books, we’re giving the true Scott-a-holic some alternatives to sate their hunger.”

Both editions will be available only from Oni Press, debuting at their booth (#1833) at Comic-Con International 2012. They will then be available for order at OniPress.com on August 8th, 2012. The Evil Edition sports a new cover featuring Matthew Patel.

The $100 Collector's Edition is the real cat's pajamas. Only 1,000 will be printed and includes a numbered book plate signed by Bryan Lee O’Malley, five art prints featuring both versions of the cover, along with three of volume 1’s biggest moments–each measuring 9×12, eleven vinyl stickers featuring some of O’Malley’s favorite panels from the book, two scout-style embroidered badges featuring Pilgrim and Patel (not pictured), a hand-crumpled setlist from Crash & the Boys drummer Trasha, atwo-inch metal Scott Pilgrim 1-up coin and a code for the digital edition of Scott Pilgrim Volume 1 Color Edition from ComiXology.
