ComingSoon Senior Movie News Editor Brandon Schreur spoke to Bryan Lee O'Malley about the 20th anniversary of Scott Pilgrim.
“Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey award-winning publisher of best-selling comic books and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to unveil the first look inside the Scott Pilgrim 20th Anniversary Color Hardcover Box Set and Scott Pilgrim 20th Anniversary B&W Hardcover Box Set – featuring all-new, never-before-seen artwork by the series’ Eisner Award-winning creator, Bryan Lee O’Malley, with colors by Eisner Award winner Nathan Fairbairn and design by Eisner Award nominee Patrick...
Yeah, somehow it really sticks. It seems to really speak to people who are now a generation younger than me, which is crazy. I love it. Yeah, it’s probably too hard. I like writing them all. I always liked writing Scott, his journey is such the focus of it. But, yeah. In the post-book era, it’s been so fun to keep writing all these characters. Like in the show, to revisit some of those guys and give them totally different stuff to do was really fun. At this point, especially, I kind of just love them all. Even the bad guys or the shitty characters, I kind of just love them all.I mean, yeah. They all have so much personality.
That’s true and it was kind of unnoticed at first, too. It’s funny how, like the books, it really snowballed over the years. People keep coming back to it or keep recommending it to their friends. It just makes people laugh, I think. Or it makes people feel like there’s something special going on. That’s how my favorite cultural things always made me feel, so it’s cool to be a part of that ongoing story.
I was kind of asked to do — or, I was asked if I would want to be interested in doing something like that. And I kind of wasn’t. But then I had dinner with my friend Ben David, who ended up co-writing it with me. As we were talking about it, one of his ideas was, ‘What if you just killed Scott Pilgrim in the first episode?’ It made me laugh so much. Whenever something creative makes me laugh that much, I kind of take it seriously, in a way.
Yeah, the critics loved it and so many fans loved it so, so much. It was really nice and beautiful to kind of see those reactions. There’s the other contingent that’s just like, the thing that I didn’t really anticipate is that they were expecting me to do the book because I’m me and because they know me from doing the book. They’re like, ‘Oh, he’ll do the same thing because he’s the same person.’ Again, my brain just didn’t really work that way.
