Scott Pilgrim Volume 5 is out today! I did the art for the back cover so everyone should buy a copy! 

[Jad]

Yup, mail just arrived, Gosh! Comics in the UK has the special bookplate w/ signature edition in stock : D

Just sent my order! Yayayayay more pilgrim <3

Oh man, Scott Pilgrim! So that's the name! I remember going through the comics my brother-in-law ordered four years ago (in secret), finding, and reading the first volume. Of course, I was eleven or twelve at the time so I don't remember all that much about it, but I was really pulled in by the art style and the general subject matter. It even spurred me to hastily make some comics of my own. Sadly, I never remembered the name and couldn't ask my brother in law later because I wasn't supposed to be reading it. (he said it was too mature for me)

I'm so buying these ASAP.

I've not even read the fourth yet. I have to order them both from Amazon. Last I bought Faith Hicks' The War at Ellesmere. I'm a long time fan of her works. She's Canadian too, like O'Malley. They do some nice stuff over there.

[Jad]

Haha, WTF, her style and O'Malley's really go together there O: Some stylistic choices that really match!

I mean, what is this? Is the same thing happening in canada that's happened in japan? Artists influencing each other and creating a regional 'style' kinda? Canadaism!

Haha, hope not. That drawing 'style' is awesome though. Made me wanna read it instantly O:!

[Ben2theEdge]

I love how Faith Hicks gives all her characters giant noses. And yet they're so pretty.
*in love*

My girl friend pre-ordered #5 but they didn't get it in on time so I should get to check it out next Wednesday. I look forward to seeing your stuff on the back Ben2theEdge. Is it related to the streetfighting game you were making of it?

It's kind of strange, there actually is quite a bit of artists in Canada who have a similar style O'Malley.

[Ben2theEdge]

It's actually unrelated to the fan-game I was working on. The stuff I did for this is more NES-era Capcom-ish than anything. Basically we made back cover look like the back of a NES box; the "screenshots" even have that weird roundish cropping, heheh. I'll post it all on Pixelation eventually so everyone can tear it to pieces 

[Helm]

Cool. Congrats to you.

[junkboy]

That sounds fucking awesome, Ben2theEdge. Can't wait to check it out!
